1. WELCOME
Congratulations on your purchase of the
ABS
®
P.RIDE System.
This manual provides you with information about the
function and use of the ABS
®
P.RIDE System. It ap-
plies to every out-of-bounds snow sport enthusiast.
Please read this manual carefully before you use this
equipment. Pay special attention to the warning no-
tices and strictly adhere to the information within. We
suggest that you keep this user manual in a convenient
location so it is easy to consult. 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, may lead
to serious consequences.
The ABS
®
P.RIDE System is an emergency device,
which under certain conditions can prevent total
burial if activated. It cannot prevent the release
of an avalanche. Every avalanche is absolutely life
threatening regardless of any equipment. Therefore the
ABS
®
Avalanche Airbag should not encourage you to
take greater risks. The ABS
®
P.RIDE System complies
with the requirements of the CE directive on personal
protective equipment (PPE 89/686/EEC), corresponds
to EN standard 16716 and is TÜV-certified.
The ABS
®
Avalanche Airbag needs a full ABS
®
P.RIDE
inflator in order to function. Each ABS
®
system is test-
ed to ensure it is fully functional prior to delivery. The
extreme situation of an avalanche requires a practised
approach to the ABS
®
P.RIDE System. ABS
®
therefore
highly recommends that the triggering of the airbag is
practised as part of your personal training.
Please read the user manual before you
complete the warranty form online under:
www.abs-airbag.com/en/service/warranty-card.html
Your warranty claim will then be extended to 4 years.
The ABS
®
P.RIDE System with integrated partner acti-
vation significantly increases the likelihood that it will
activate in an avalanche situation – and therefore the
likelihood of staying on the surface. The ABS
® P.RIDE
System must be actively triggered – either by you or
a member of your group if you are in group mode. In
an emergency, each group member is able to activate
the airbags of the other members. You can activate
your own ABS
® Avalanche Airbag at any time using the
ABS ® P.RIDE System.
Always use the ABS
®
P.RIDE System in combination
with an avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe.
The ABS ® P.RIDE System is Made in Germany.
