The bit in #1 where it says, “unscrew red cap” may contain a clue.
Sorry to cause offence. Only trying to make a light-hearted comment. In fairness your pic doesn’t show the other end.That is referring to the screw cap at the other end.
I hope you are wearing reinforced boots when you try firing yours
We live by Alton Towers so birthdays bonfire night go for it if away from the coast
No, you do not remove the red cap on the left end and should you ever need to fire one, point at a slight angle (10 to 15 degrees) to the vertical AWAY from the wind. I know it may not sound right, but definitely downwind/AWAY from the wind, not into the wind.Okay, to make things clearer.
I can un-screw the cap on the right hand side, which reveals a toggle string that I can pull.
But what about that red cap on the left hand side?
I do think that practicing with these things would help if I did need to use them in anger, heaven forbid.

Please do not fire them inland, or even near land. Apart from it being illegal unless you are in distress I have seen some still alight when they hit the ground so can start a fire.We live by Alton Towers so birthdays bonfire night go for it if away from the coast

If you are in ANY doubt telephone the manufacturer or agent in the UK.Having never fired one of these … do you keep the red cap on?
Instructions don’t show a step to remove that before the bang / flash, but the image in the second diagram suggests it has been removed.

Well if you will wait that long... I prefer to 'Be Prepared', as the Scouts say.What, when the boat is sinking or on fire ?
I’d prefer to know in advance.

Reply from Plum is good enough for me.
What circumstance do you foresee setting off a parachute instead of a smoke?
