USER GUIDE AND SAFETY WARNINGS FOR SAFETY STIRRUPS

Please read this user manual and warnings carefully before using our horse-riding safety stirrups.
In case of use by minors, they must be supervised by an experienced adult who can explain the proper use of the stirrups and provide them with the information contained herein.
Safety stirrups have a movable part with an opening mechanism equipped with a spring; it is mandatory to ensure before each use that the movable part of the stirrups opens and closes automatically and therefore that no external bodies are preventing its opening.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Tech Stirrups are provided with direction marks on the ring: R = RIGHT – L = LEFT
During use, the R and L marks must face the rider [PIC. 1-2] and must always be mounted on the corresponding foot (R on the right foot, L on the left foot).

Tech Stirrups must be mounted with the movable part facing outwards.  
During use, the movable part must never face the horse's ribs.  

During use, the side opening of the Tech Stirrups is only possible if:
1) The rider pushes the movable part outward with the forefoot until the foot comes out; 
2) Both stirrups have been mounted correctly on the saddle;
3) The stirrups are cleaned and lubricated regularly;
4) Nothing hinders the opening of the moving part and/or the movement of the foot (horse's body, obstacle, wall, vegetation, etc.);
Do not place the ankle into the stirrup’s ring.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

We advise cleaning both the grip and the spring mechanism located under the tread using only a direct jet of water. It is essential to remove any potential foreign bodies (sand, stones, etc.) that may have been deposited in the safety mechanism, as they may prevent the opening system from working properly. To extend the life of the grip, we recommend using the stirrups with clean boot soles and cleaning the stirrups after each use.

If the stirrups are stored with the saddle, we suggest using stirrup covers

We recommend keeping the spring mechanism well-lubricated. [PIC. 3] 

 

For ‘Plus’ stirrup models it is necessary to insert oil into the 6 grooves on the pad of each stirrup. [PIC. 4]

Remember that the stirrups have to be put accurately on the saddle for the safety mechanism to work properly.
