WARNING NOTICES AND APPROPRIATE USE
THE
ABS® AVALANCHE AIRBAG CAN NOT
PREVENT
AN AVALANCHE.
.
• Every
avalanche
is
always
absolutely
life
threatening, a with or without an ABS® Avalanche
Airbag.
• The ABS® Avalanche Airbag should not in any way
increase your willingness to take risks.
• The function and action of the ABS®-System is
limited solely to preventing the total burial of
an avalanche victim. However, there may be
situations when this is only partially or not at all
possible.
• The ABS®-System must be activated. It is
important to practice this to be able to react
properly in case of emergency. For your own safety
you should practice the activation once a season.
• The ABS®-System requires careful handling and
proper inspection before each use.
• The cartridge is refillable.
• Only use original ABS® cartridges, refills, parts or a
spares.
• The cartridge should screw in easily right to the
back stop. If you experience any resistance or
if it is really hard to turn the cartridge right up to the
back stop, then this cartridge cannot be used!
• The full cartridge cannot be exposed to heat (stove,
sun etc.). Do not throw or stress the cartridge. Risk
of explosion! Max. temperature is 50°C (+122 F).
• When packing the airbags make sure that nothing
can damage the airbags and that the airbags are
able to open freely. This applies especially to
attachable parts like ice picks, poles, skis, etc.
• Fold the airbags according to the instructions.
Improper folding inhibits the opening of the airbags,
can lead to malfunctioning and damage the
backpack.
• Keep children away from the ABS® System.
Be careful not to endanger other people when
practicing the activation of the airbag.
• In order to avoid an unwanted or inadvertent
activation
where
other
people
could
be
harmed by such an accidental activation, it is
recommended that you remove the handle,
especially on chairlifts, in Cable cars, in or around a
helicopter, the bus, train, automobile, etc.
