The falling height must not exceed 16 m
No jumps for exercising or demonstration purposes.
Important note!

1.Preliminary remarks
A prerequisite for the safe use of the VETTER safety cushions is that these operating instructions and the safety instructions are strictly observed after they have been carefully read.
Only duly authorized and trained personnel of the fire department must be commissioned with the use of the safety cushion.
The safety cushion must only be used in case of an emergency for the rescue of jumping or falling persons.
Jumps for training or demonstration purposes are strictly forbidden!
Only specifically designed falling objects, such as sand bags or dummies, must be used for training or test purposes.
Any non-compliance with this instruction is a violation of the preventive measures of the fire departments and will result in the exclusion of any liability. Please note that any non-compliance may have legal consequences.

3.Description
The VETTER safety cushion consists of a self-erecting hose-equip- ped load-bearing frame. The supporting structure consists of an extremely tear-proof and neoprene-coated fabric. The material used for the external tarpaulins is hardly flammable and does not disintegrate.
The load-bearing frame will be inflated with air with a maximum pressure of 0,3 bar when the valve at the compressed-air cylinder is opened. The safety valve integrated in the cylinder fittings will prevent over-inflation and an inadmissible pressure increase due to temperature influences.
The safety cushion will be inflated within 30 sec and erect itself automatically.
It can only be used after it is fully inflated and erected.
When a load hits the safety cushion, the internal supports will collapse.
After the load has been removed, the load-bearing frame will automatically re-erect itself and restore its original shape.
It may be possible after several load changes that minute quantities of air can leak through the safety valve. This can be easily compensated by briefly opening the air valve of the compressedair cylinder.
Attention!The position of the safety cushion may change as a result of the previous jump. It will then have to be re- aligned/re-arranged.
