Equipment Check

System Fittings

Follow the previous “Installing Compressed Air Cylinder” steps to verify connections are correct.

Every time you use your Float system, verify the trigger cable nut connection by unscrewing the

trigger cover

{ and making sure the trigger cable nut y is attached securely to the trigger pin z.

Replace trigger cover.

Air Cylinder

Check the pressure gauge

| on the compressed air cylinder and make sure it is between 2500

and 2700 psi (172 to 186 bar) at room temperature (approximately 70°F or 21°C). Pressure must

be checked at room temperature for the reading to be accurate. Check pressure before every use.

PRESSURE MUST BE IN THIS RANGE OR THE SYSTEM MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY.

Once the system is exposed to cold, the pressure will drop. If the pressure is ever observed below

2000 psi (138 bar), at any temperature, the airbag may not fill completely. See “Installing Compressed

Air Cylinder” on page 10 for replacement details.Inspect the cylinder. Do not use a cylinder that is

dented or damaged.

Pack

Make sure the Velcro flap on the top of the

airbag compartment is securely fastened.

This will ensure that the airbag

is completely stored and secure.

Only the airbag and ejector are meant to be

stored in the airbag compartment. Do not store any additional items in this compartment.

Check that nothing is loose inside the compressed air system or blocking the ejector assembly

Make sure the compartment is zipped completely shut.
