4.1 INITIAL OPERATION AND
PRACTICE RELEASE
a
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
a
Check the weight of the cartridge without the
cartridge cap before each use. The weight is
listed on 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
A completely full cartridge is an absolute pre-
requisite for the proper functioning of the ABS
®
Avalanche Airbag.

STEP 2
ATTACHING THE CARTRIDGE
a
Check if the puncturing unit is clean before
attaching the cartridge. The piercing pin must be
visible in the middle. Screw in the full cartridge
right up to the back stop and tight enough that
there is no possibility of another turn.
a
Check that the cartridge is screwed in tightly
before each use of the airbag to avoid leakage
and malfunctions. It should be easy to screw in
the cartridge right up to the back stop. Make
sure that the cartridge doesn’t get screwed in on
an angle. 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!
Your retail shop will exchange the cartridge at
no charge.
STEP 3
ATTACHING STRAPS AND BELTS
a
Put the backpack on and adjust shoulder straps
to fit your body. Always fasten waist belt, chest
and leg straps and fit them according to your
body. The ABS
®
-System will only be of use to
you if the backpack stays on your body during
an emergency! Most of the weight of the pack
should be resting on your hips rather than
being carried by your shoulders. Roll up the
loose ends of the hip belt and secure with the
hook-and-loop tape.
