into the cup so the narrow end faces up.

Do not inhale CO2 gas. Do not
discharge CO2 gas towards face,
body, or people. CO2 gas becomes
extremely cold when dispensed and
should not be exposed to bare skin
as frostbite may occur.
• DO NOT modify the Eject® Helmet
Removal System in any way.
Modifi cations may affect the
proper function.
• Never use any device not approved
by Simpson for infl ation. This
can result in injury to the rider/driver.

all Eject® Helmet Removal System User

lock the dispensing trigger. (Figure A.) To unlock
the dispensing trigger, move the red safety lever

CO2 can ONLY be dispensed when the safety
lock is in the unlocked “down” position.
All CO2 gas must be expelled from used

DO NOT infl ate the Eject® system
if there is structural damage to the
top of the helmet.
Determine whether Eject® is
installed in the rider/driver’s
helmet.
Look for “Eject® Equipped” helmet sticker
and connector protruding from base of
helmet. (Figure B.)
This should be located on the left side of
the helmet. Check the inside chin bar area
for sticker if rider/driver is positioned such
that the left side is covered.

YES: Eject® is installed and infl ation
connector was located:
NO: Eject® is not installed or
