4. Initial Operation
4.1 Initial operation and practice release
The uncompromising functioning and the personal handling by
the user of the ABS Avalanche Airbag System are critical. The
handling is straightforward but must be done with care and
according to the steps outlined below:
Step 1
Checking the cartridge weight
Check the weight of the cartridge without the cartridge cap before
each use. The weight is listed on the bottom or the side of the
cartridge. Tolerance limit +/- 5 grams (0.18 oz). Your retail shop
will exchange any cartridge with a weight that differs more than
the tolerance limit at no charge.
A completely full cartridge is
an absolute prerequisite for
the proper functioning of the
ABS Avalanche Airbag.
