All technical information, safety distances and instructions printed on the supplied product take priority over the general information provided in the online description.

Metal casing and pull-cord activation

One of the key features of the MAXSEM purple flare is its durable metal construction. The lower section forms the designated grip, while the pyrotechnic effect is emitted from the opposite end.

The flare is activated using an integrated pull cord or pull ring. The exact procedure must always be checked on the instructions printed directly on the product.

Once activated, the effect end must never be pointed towards people, animals, vehicles, buildings or combustible materials. The flare should only be held by the section specifically indicated by the manufacturer.

The product is intended for adults only. P1 classification does not mean that the flare may be used anywhere or for any purpose. The user must always follow the manufacturer’s instructions, local regulations, safety rules and restrictions applicable at the place of use.

Check the wind and weather before use

Wind can change the direction of the flame, sparks and smoke. Weather conditions should therefore be assessed before the flare is activated.

Current forecasts, wind speed and official weather warnings can be checked through the IMGW-PIB weather service.

Do not use the flare during strong or gusty winds, thunderstorms, extreme drought or periods of high fire risk.

PiroHiT expert advice

The purple effect is most impressive after dark and against bright skies, open spaces and neutral backgrounds. Before activation, however, the user must first assess the wind direction, secure a sufficiently large area and remove combustible materials from the surroundings.

The flare should only be used in the position specified by the manufacturer. The effect end must always be directed away from the user and everyone nearby.
