Thank you,
for your purchase of the ABS
®
Avalanche Airbag
System. This manual provides you with information
about the function and use of the ABS
®
Avalanche
Airbag System. It applies to every out of bounds snow
sport enthusiast. Please read this manual carefully
before you use this equipment. Pay special attention
to the warning notices and strictly adhere to the
information within. In order to be able to easily
consult this user manual we suggest that you keep it
in a convenient location. Make sure you include it if
you choose to pass this equipment on.
Sections in the manual that are marked with this
symbol identify risks which, if not observed will
lead to serious consequences.
The ABS
®
Avalanche Airbag System is an
emergency equipment, which under certain
conditions can prevent a total burial if activated.
It cannot prevent the release of an avalanche. An
element of deadly risk remains even if the user
doesn’t get buried. Every avalanche is absolutely
life threatening regardless of any equipment.
Therefore, the ABS
®
Avalanche Airbag System
should not encourage you to take greater risks.
For the functioning of the ABS
®
Avalanche Airbag
you need an activation unit (car handle).
Each ABS
®
system is tested prior to delivery.
The extreme situation of an avalanche requires
a practiced approach to the ABS
®
system. ABS
®
therefore recommends a training activation as part
of your personal training.
Please read the user manual before you complete
the warranty form online under:
Your warranty claim will then be extended to 4
years.
