4.1 How do I fasten RESTUBE correctly?

WARNING
Wearing the product loosely or open is dangerous! The product must be
tightly secured to prevent loss and enable functionality.
The provided waist strap (25 mm wide) may be inserted vertically or
horizontally into the back of the pocket.
>>> The options for attaching the strap have different advan-
tages for wearing the pocket on land or for practicing water
sports. The user may choose the most suitable position de-
pending on the application and personal preferences.
NOTICE
When using a vertical position the pocket must be worn so that the trigger faces downward!
• Remove buckle and adjuster from waist strap.
>>> Velcro 5e on the waist strap must face upward.
• Insert the waist strap through the horizontal or vertical strap positioner (black
fabric) on the back of the pocket until velcro 5e connects to velcro 5d inside of
the strap positioner.
>>> This prevents the pocket from moving around the waist strap
• Slide buckle and buckle back on.
NOTICE
The RESTUBE Swim stick (22), allows stabilization of the bag
when worn on the hip in the pocket provided inside the hip belt.

4.1.1 Fastening

• Open the buckle and place the waist belt around the hips.
>>> Wear the pocket so that the RESTUBE logo faces
outward and the strap positioner rests against the body.
• Close buckle safely.
• Fasten the buckle securely and adjust the waist strap to fit tightly.
>>> The loose end of the waist strap can be fixed using
the adjuster.
• Wear RESTUBE on your right, so that the trigger is easily accessi-
ble with your left hand.

4.2 How do I trigger RESTUBE?

NOTICE
Triggering and inflation is only guaranteed in water because buoyancy
pulls the buoy from the pocket! Duration until completely filled may be
lengthened when triggered on land.
• Grab the trigger with your left hand and pull away from the body
firmly.
• The buoy will unfold within seconds.

4.3 How do I use RESTUBE?

NOTICE
Do not unscrew CO2 cartridge while in use! After triggering, the CO2
cartridge is very cold. Avoid direct skin contact. Use the provided
protective sleeve for the CO2 cartridge.
• Tuck fully inflated buoy under your arms.
• Adopt a stable position to keep airways free.
• If you need help, use the trigger as a whistle.
>>> You can also wave with the buoy to call attention to
yourself.
• Remain calm until help on site or self-help is possible.
