G. TRAVELING WITH THE VEST
-> Train, bus, car
No specific restrictions. Caution, you must turn off your vest when using any means of
transport other than the motorcycle.
-> Plane
From a legal point of view (IATA regulations), you are authorized
to travel by airplane with 2 e-cartridges (with a volume of less
!
than 200cc), in the cabin or in the hold.
However, even if it is legally allowed, it is possible that the
security service or the
airline will refuse you to board the aircraft with the e-cartridge.
We advise you to print
the IATA regulation (available on helite.com "FAQ") and to show it during the control
if you are asked for further explanation. In any case, the security department of the
airport and the airline will make the final decision whether to take your equipment on
board or not.
On the plane, you always have to turn off your
system and unplug the e-cartridge.

6. Maintenance

A. WASHING
Do not machine wash, do not immerse in water, do not dry clean. This could damage
the airbag and the electronic system inside the vest. Do not use detergents or bleach.
We recommend washing the vest with a sponge or soft brush and warm soapy water.
Do not iron. Do not tumble dry or put on a radiator. We advise you to dry the vest on a
hanger in a dry place away from humidity.
B. E-CARTRIDGE
The e-cartridge comes with a 10 year warranty. The e-cartridges have a long life
span but we recommend to check them annually. The check consists in weighing
your e-cartridge on a scale and making sure that the weight is approximately +/- 3g
(60GG) or +/- 5g (100GG) equivalent to the weight written on your e-cartridge.
C. STORAGE
After each use, store your vest in a dry place away from humidity.
Follow the guidelines below to enjoy a long and reliable use of your airbag system:
- Avoid high temperatures (direct sunlight, if left in a vehicle, near a heat source or
flame).
- Do not cover with anything heavy.
- Do not fold or roll, store your vest on a hanger.
- Do not leave within reach of rodents or other animals.
