Transport; Working Life; Disposal - ABS Avalanche Airbag System Mode D'emploi

Attention: after cleaning make sure that the system is
completely dry before use – or you risk freezing the
components which will not operate as intended.

10. TRANSPORT

Generally you are allowed to take your airbag on the
airplane. The guidelines are outlined in the IATA
(International Air Transport Association) reference guide
under dangerous goods Table 2.3A. However, you have
to register the ABS-Airbag with your airline 14 days
before your departure. One activation unit is allowed for
each ABS backpack, and the activation handle must not
be installed. We strongly recommend that you request
the IATA guidelines from your respective service center
or that you download them yourself from our website in
order to be able to show them at the ticket counter. We
also recommend that you put the copy of the IATA gui-
delines along with your cartridge, activation handle and
backpack in your carry-on luggage. If you are traveling
within the USA you need to comply with FAA rules.
When travelling to the United States please pay attention
to the latest advice on www.abs-airbag.com
Service/ABS in planes).
When you transport the cartridge outside the airbag
system the protective cap must be on the cartridge. De-
tailed and updated information on the transport of ABS
packs can be found here: www.abs-airbag.com

11. WORKING LIFE

By adhering to the manufacturer recommended main-
tenance schedule of 3 seasons, the working life mainly
depends on the degree of usage and mostly refers to
the backpack. When using the system according to the
instructions and on an average of 50 days per season,
the ABS-System (not the backpack) can be expected
to function for 10 years. It is important to perform the
suggested practice activation by activating the ABS
System once a year.

12. DISPOSAL

The activation unit is to be returned to the manufac-
turer for disposal. The avalanche backpack may be
recycled or disposed of with normal household waste.
