If you are not sure, you might want to drive a vehicle control station to perform a basic overview, which includes checking the state of wear of the brake blocks and the quality of brake fluid. An important element is the amount of fluids. Check the engine oil – always do on a cold engine, that is, preferably in the morning. Then the oil to drain from the engine to the oil sump – such attempt will be the most reliable. The oil cools and seals the moving parts of the engine, and protects them from corrosion. During the operation of the car oil but consumes and loses its properties, which is no longer a complete protection against friction. Also check the coolant level. Like the oil fluid in the course of time it loses its thermal properties. Therefore, it should be replaced approximately every two years, and his condition and quality control at least once a month (and before every long trip). Interested in a state of lighting in the car. You can avoid dangerous situations with definitely get a mandate for faulty or misaligned light. Before traveling replace blown or a refrigerator bulb. It should also carry an extra set.

It should include: bandages, gauze, plasters, tourniquet, a disinfectant, a mouthpiece for performing artificial respiration, gloves, scarf triangular or thermal insulation blanket. Provisions of the various countries differ from each other and eg. In France, we have also a breathalyzer, and in Hungary and Slovakia tow rope.

Part of the training will necessarily take place in areas where there may also be automobiles and other road users, and with such a large training group that we have, so we need to put extra focus on safety, says Ann Kristin Jansen skigruppa in Spillum IL.

Skigruppa therefore applied Gjensidigestiftelsen on road funds; funds that would be earmarked own reflective jackets for use in training.

Therefore, athletes should appear along the road, says Jansen, who is happy for the many feedback skigruppa received for the initiative.

– It is noticed, and it seems we are good. For it is important that we think in traffic. Although such roller training takes place on footpaths, so will the athletes occasionally pass areas where there are also cars present, says Jansen.

– No later than on Thursday became the Terese Johaug hit when she was on roller training, so accidents can happen, she adds.

Jansen says that the idea for reflective jackets came after coaches discovered that the oldest athletes ever had “forgotten” reflective vest when they arrived at training.

– We found that among young people there was not always cool to use reflective vest, but with reflective jackets disappeared this problem, she smiles.

The club bought 55 coats, and these were swept away.

– We bought jackets intended for training group of 12-13 years, and these are almost sold out, says Jansen, who has been responsible for the jacket sales team.

– We have received many questions from people outside the skiing community to get buy jacket of us, but unfortunately we are unable to do so, then the warehouse thus was sold among its practitioners, she said.

She hopes other training groups in Namdalen follow the team’s example.

– To equip practitioners with training garments with safety vest that they will use while they are visible in traffic is important. It means everyone wins, says Ann Kristin Jansen Spillum ILs cross country team.

Headlamp and safety vest are both smart and necessary when training in the dark. Hats and gloves with reflective one also in most sports shops. Shell jackets are windproof front and back with reflective tape are practical to run.

Spikes under the shoes with reflective tape are an advantage when it freezes on the pavement. Benedict recommends a good muted winter shoes with spikes. It is also possible to insert studs during favorittløp shoes if it is thick enough sole.

Reflective vest – arrange to respect both day and night

Temperatures started dropping below freezing point and weathermen promise that he will be better. With time, we have a full fat autumn and with him ever shorter day and dark and dark evenings. We runners do nothing else than to accept the situation and change to the dark side of the Force – to start running in the dark. Whether we give our portion of kilometers in the morning before going to work or coming home from her evening, the dark queen of our favorite lines, because the darkness is probably unavoidable. Let’s test it one of the reflective safety vest to increase its passive safety!

When enclosures in this weather is no good to think well on your comfort level. It may not be exactly shrouded as Eskimos, but the T-shirt he also will not be right. A good portion of the thermal protection as well as excellent passive safety ensures a reflective vest in the decathlon.
Reflection eyes to merge

For cross-country vest that I was still wearing, this is no exaggeration best equipped in reflective material. Reflective surfaces found on the back, shoulders, armholes, at several points on the hips, abdomen and lesions on the cover fasteners. Runner becomes one huge, visible in the distance reflector.

The manufacturer guarantees a minimum visibility from a distance of 120 meters, in the range of 360 °. While according to some sources, the 120 meters was a personal vehicle enough to stop even a speed of 130 km / h on a wet road. Reflective material manufacturers certainly spared no expense, moreover, it used high-quality production from 3M.

Delight but also a selection of other materials and their processing. The entire back, with the exception of the uppermost parts reflexive implementation are led in meshové fabric. Decently mesh are also areas in the armpit. Which is not used or reflective mesh material, you’ll find a bright yellow polyester fabric. It adds to the visibility and safety as well as daylight.
Indeed for runners

In testing, I felt as if the man who designed this kind of reflective clothing, was himself a runner. He thought about everything. Vesta adequately ventilated while the right places to protect athletes from the wind. The back is nicely extended and more so protects some parts of the guard.

Pockets, mesh inside, are large enough to accommodate even the largest mobile phone, handkerchiefs or a handful of energy gels. The entrance is guarded them quality YKK zippers and cover extention. In addition the pockets are sewn so that it can also be used inside in which actually consists of two other pockets. Though not closing, but if necessary, represent an additional storage space.

Quality and sturdy zipper is also used to fasten the vest. Cover Legum form a mutually reflective material. In addition, placket at the upper end creates a so-called garage, so after you complete tensioning zip will not rub on the chin. The collar is worked into the collar. Protection from wind and nowhere neplandá nor avoids stiffness.
Good price

The reflective vest is available in four sizes: S, M, L and XL. My person short little over 170 cm size M fell like a glove. A very pleasant surprise was the price. Less than 650 crowns came to me for this piece more than folk. Basically for the same price I was on sale (!) Once he bought a reflective running vest from one world tinged manufacturer. Scanty reflective elements and bad treatment from her soon made a hated piece of equipment.

How to use a puncture kit

Fewer and fewer cars are on the street with spare wheel and they replace this item by a puncture kit. Without evaluating which of the two is more convenient, we show you how to use the kit in case you emergency arises.

If your car does not have a spare wheel, you will be good to be clear how a puncture kit is used. Moreover, it is information that should handle all drivers wearing reflective safety vest because, for some years, it is rare to find a car carrying spare wheel itself and not so much one equipped with wheel cookie or not even that.

Among the arguments used by manufacturers to leave this element out of the standard equipment are weight gain and consumption. Now this does not mean you should give up traveling with a spare wheel of identical size to the four axes that fit your car in the trunk.
When you buy a car, it will normally give you three options:

– Wheel size spare (upon payment of the additional amount).

– Wheel cookie. It is known by this name to those with a limitation both in kilometers and speed and are smaller than the other four size.

– Antipinchazos Kit.

Today we are going to focus on this last item, because although the seller you have spoken of your kindness, using a puncture kit is not as easy as it seems.

For in a safe place

It is said that, when you notice that a wheel is losing air must stop running as soon as possible to prevent the movement with little pressure damaging the tire and leave the useless tire.

This maxim is completely true, but it is not unless you do not stop until you find a safe place to do so.

Once the engine stopped remembers the three letters that make your modus operandi in an emergency: PAS, ie, protect, Alerting and succor. In this case we assume that there will be injured by what you do is protect yourself and other road users safe place looking long and alerting your position with safety triangles. Remember never leave the vehicle without the reflective vest position.

Assess the situation

Out of the car, pay attention to the state of the wheel and the road conditions:

– If the affected wheel is too exposed to traffic, he calls a crane and not risk your integrity.

– If you can access it, takes the puncture kit and get to work.

Using the kit antipinchazos

The puncture kit consists of two elements:

– Liquid or foam that covers the puncture

The first thing you have to do is remove the cap from the valve. Below, you will find the howitzer, which is the part that prevents air from coming off.

If you have a manual kit, follow these steps:

– Open the can of sealant liquid. The kit includes a tube you have to build the boat and to the tire valve.

– Dumps the pot so that the liquid falls by inertia and empty all contents inside the wheel itself.

– Disconnect the valve tube, relocates the howitzer and inflates the wheel with the compressor to about 2.5 bars.

If your kit automatically antipinchazos:

– Open the pot acóplalo sealing liquid and the air compressor.

– Connect the tube to the valve compressor wheel with reflective tape and put the compressor into operation: the compressor itself introduce the liquid together with air to a pressure of about 2.5 bar.

In both cases it is desirable that last couple few kilometers to check that the tire does not lose pressure. Reached your destination, remember to pass as soon as possible by the workshop to fix the flat tire.
