STEP 4: PRACTICE MOVEMENTS
YOU DO NOT WANT THE FIRST TIME YOU TRY YOUR AVALANCHE
PACK TO BE DURING AN AVALANCHE.
Practice some of the movements for triggering the system, WITH THE
BATTERY OFF. For full deployment instructions see the next section:
DEPLOYMENT.
Practice these and other movements with gloves on while skiing or in
snow conditions before you are in a real-life avalanche situation:
• Lock and unlock the trigger handle.
• Grab the trigger handle with your right or left hand (when the
battery is disconnected, you will hear a click and the latch will
release, but there will be no other visible change to the airbag).
• Pull and release the trigger handle. Your impulse in a real situation
will be to yank on it and keep pulling, but you do not need to.
Just let it go.
• If you use a snowmobile, think about how and when you would pull
the trigger while accelerating and steering.
• Keep the leg loop clipped around your leg and access your
avalanche tools.
STEP 5: TEST THE SYSTEM
Deploy the airbag according to the instructions in the
next section: DEPLOYMENT.
After you have tested the deployment, when the balloon
is full, you can stop the pulsing at any time by turning the
battery off. It will remain inflated for several hours.
TEST THE AVALANCHE AIRBAG IN A VARIETY OF
CONDITIONS BEFORE YOU ARE IN A SITUATION
IN WHICH YOUR LIFE MAY DEPEND UPON IT. THIS
SHOULD INCLUDE TESTING IT FULLY PACKED AS IT
WOULD BE FOR USE.
Note: Arc'teryx recommends sending the VOLTAIR
™
Avalanche Airbag in for service after 50 deployments.
WARNING
NOISE ADVISORY
The VOLTAIR™ Avalanche Airbag system is loud
(approximately 100 dB) and could damage hearing with
exposure over 7.5 minutes. Wear hearing protection
(earplugs or earmuffs) whenever you are testing the system.
