2. WARNING NOTICES AND
APPROPRIATE USE
a
The ABS ® Avalanche Airbag cannot prevent an ava-
lanche.
a
Every avalanche is always absolutely life threatening,
with or without an ABS
®
Avalanche Airbag.
a
The ABS
®
Avalanche Airbag should not in any way
increase your willingness to take risks.
a
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.
a
The ABS ® P.RIDE System must be actively triggered –
either by you or a member of your group if you are in
group mode.
a
You should always try to activate your ABS
®
P.RIDE
System yourself by pulling the activation handle.
ABS
®
P.RIDE group activation only allows the additional
option of remote radio-controlled activation of your
ABS
® P.RIDE System by other group members if you are
in group mode.
a
In the event of left-handed assembly (Section 4.1, Step
8), ensure that you do not pull the activation handle
downwards in order to prevent it activating accidentally.
a
The ABS ® P.RIDE system requires careful handling
and proper inspection before each use. Check the day
before use that your system is fully functional and the
battery is fully charged.
a
Use only the ABS
®
original inflator for ABS
®
P.RIDE.
a
The ABS ® inflator can only be refilled by ABS ® .
a
The system is only fully functional if a full ABS ® P.RIDE
inflator is used.
a
Try not to dismantle the ABS
®
P.RIDE inflator into its
individual parts. Any manipulation of the inflator could
cause an explosion. Serious risk of injury and death,
even for bystanders!
