SCOTT ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM 2.0

1. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the SCOTT ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM.
This manual provides you with information about the function and use of the SCOTT ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM. It applies
to every out of bounds snow sport enthusiast.
Please read this manual carefully before you use the device. Pay special attention to the warning notices and strictly adhere
to the information within the user manual. In order to be able to easily consult this user manual we suggest that you keep
it in a convenient location.
The SCOTT ALPRIDE 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 SCOTT ALPRIDE
AIRBAG SYSTEM should not encourage you to take greater risks.
The SCOTT ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM is certified by TÜV Süd (Daimlerstr. 11, 85748 Garching bei München, Germany.) to
meet the requirements of the EC's Personal Protective (PPE 89/686/EEC).
2. WARNING & APPROPRIATE USE
1- The SCOTT ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM cannot prevent avalanches from occurring.
2- Avalanches are life-threatening, no matter what equipment is deployed.
3- Users must not take more risks simply because they are wearing a SCOTT ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM.
4- Use of a SCOTT avalanche backpack is no guarantee that total burial in snow will not occur.
5- The SCOTT ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM requires careful handling and proper inspection before each use.
6- When packing the airbags make sure that nothing can tear or damage the airbag, inflator system and its fabric cover.
Also make sure that the airbag can open up freely.
7- Fold the airbag according to the instructions. Improper folding inhibits the opening of the airbag, can lead to malfunc-
tioning and can damage the backpack.
8- SCOTT SPORTS SA cannot be held responsible for injuries caused by an avalanche involving its SCOTT ALPRIDE AIR-
BAG SYSTEM.
9- Hazard is best avoided by avoiding hazardous situations.
10- Only use original ALPRIDE cartridges.
11- Do not throw or stress the cartridges. Risk of explosion! Max. temperature range is -30 to +50 ºC.
12- Keep children away from the SCOTT ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM.
13- Be careful not to endanger other people when practicing the activation of the air-bag.
14- In order to avoid an unwanted or inadvertent activation where other people could be harmed by such an accidental
activation, it is recommended that you stow the trigger handle in the shoulder strap sleeve with the covered zipper,
especially on chairlifts, in gondolas, in or around a helicopter, the bus, train, automobile, etc.
15- The SCOTT ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM does not replace conventional avalanche rescue equipment : transceivers, shov-
els and probes should always be taken on off-piste tours.
16- The SCOTT ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM has to stay clean all time. In case of a spoiled inflator system, the function of the
airbag system is not granted.
