Preliminary remarks1.
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 re 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 specically 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 re departments and will result in the ex­clusion of any liability. Please note that any non-compliance may have legal consequences.
The improper application of or any unauthorized modication to the safety cushion will exclude the liability of the manufacturer for any resultant damage.

Description3.
The VETTER safety cushion consists of a self-erecting hose-equip­ped 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 ammable and does not disintegrate.
The load-bearing frame will be inated with air with a maximum pressure of 0,5 bar when the valve at the compressed-air cylinder is opened. The safety valve integrated in the cylinder ttings will prevent over-ination and an inadmissible pressure increase due to temperature inuences.
The safety cushion will be inated within 66 sec and erect itself automatically.
It can only be used after it is fully inated 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 briey 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 re­aligned/re-arranged.
