USER MANUAL AND SAFETY WARNINGS FOR SAFETY STIRRUPS

Please, read carefully this user manual and warnings before using our horse-riding safety stirrups. If the stirrups are used by minors, please be sure to provide them with the following information.
In case that the stirrups are used by a minor, it’s mandatory the oversight from an adult and expert person that must explain to the minor the correct usage of the stirrups, by providing and teaching them all the information contained in this manual. The safety stirrups have got a part of the ring that is mobile, and such part is equipped by a spring; it’s mandatory to ensure, before the stirrups will be used by a person, that such mobile part of the stirrups can open itself and that automatically that the same mobile part can close itself.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

During use, the opening of the safety mechanism on the side of the stirrup’s ring is possible only when the following conditions are met:

  1. The rider pushes the opening section outwards using the foot until its release;
  2. Both stirrups have been put accurately on the saddle;
  3. The stirrups are kept cleaned and oiled;
  4. Nothing will keep impede the opening of the mobile part andor the movement of the feet (the body of the horse,an obstacle, a wall, the vegetation, etc…).

Our stirrups are provided with direction marks on the ring:

R = RIGHT – L = LEFT

During use, R and L marks should point towards the rider.

 

When putting the stirrups on the saddle, the opening section must point outwards.

During use, the opening section must never be directed against the ribs of the horse.

Do not place the ankle into the stirrup’s ring.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

We advise to clean both the grip and the spring mechanism located under the tread using only water.
It is essential to remove any potential foreign body (sand, stones, etc…) lodged in the safety mechanism, for it could prevent the opening system to work properly.

We recommend to keep both the spring mechanism and the joint connecting the ring to the moving part well lubricated.

To prolong the useful life of the grip, we recommend to use the stirrups with boots soles free from dirt and to clean the stirrups themselves after each use.

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

As for the Venice Light Plus model, it is also necessary to lubricate all the 6 small grooves located under the pad of each stirrup.

WARNINGS

Never wear clothing and/or accessories that may prevent the stirrup to work properly.

The functioning of Tech Stirrups safety mechanism has been tested at a maximum temperature of +80° C and a minimum temperature of -20° C.

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