Recharge Tool for EquiAirbag®

This special tool is necessary for replacing cartridges on EquiAirbag® products.

If the airbag was triggered, the inserted CO2 cartridge is used up and must be replaced with a new one. This is where the tool comes in! The tool has a black, sturdy plastic handle, a threaded rod and a ring that is screwed onto the threaded rod.

Steps:
1. First you open the EquiAirbag® product at the intended point to get to the cartridge. The used cartridge is unscrewed.
2. Then turn the ring with external thread on the threaded rod of the tool into the cartridge holder until it is tight.
3. If the tool is firmly connected to the holder, the threaded rod is turned into the holder until the two small metal bolts that hold the ball at the end of the yellow-black release strap first close briefly and then open again.
4. Now the metal ball of the release strap can be pushed between the two metal bolts. Placed there, you hold it briefly while you unscrew the thread of the tool again. The bolts should now close and hold the ball firmly in place.
5. As soon as the threaded rod of the tool is almost completely unscrewed, you can unscrew the ring with the external thread and remove the tool.
6. A new cartridge can now simply be screwed into the holder. Please make sure that the cartridge is firmly seated in the holder and can no longer be rotated.

The tool works on every EquiAirbag® product by USG. You can find cartridge replacement videos here:
