5. Inspect the wiring for exposed conductors or weakened connections with the
other components.
6. Inspect the backpack for punctures or tears.
7. Inspect the backpack shoulder straps, leg strap, and waist belt for tears or
damaged stitching.
8. After repacking the airbag, arm the system to confirm proper operation.
If inspection reveals signs of damage or if you have any doubts about the depend-
ability of your JetForce PRO Backpack, contact your pack manufacturer's cus-
tomer service center.
Retirement
Damaged gear must be repaired prior to use or retired and destroyed to prevent
future use.
Contact your pack manufacturer's customer service center if:
• The JetForce PRO Backpack's electronic system does not arm properly
or does not deploy the airbag properly. Perform the procedures in the
Troubleshooting section of this manual before contacting your pack
manufacturer's customer service center.
• Battery becomes too hot to touch (48°C (118°F) or above)
• Airbag is damaged and will not hold air.
• Structural webbing or bar tacks are torn, abraded, cut, melted or burnt.
• If you have any doubts about the dependability of your gear, retire it.
• Lithium-Ion batteries are subject to local disposal and recycling regulations.
Always follow local requirements when disposing of any battery. Do not
dispose of any battery in fire.
• Never use a damaged battery.
Lifespan
The JetForce PRO System is certified for 50 full deployments. With normal use
and proper care the typical lifespan of a JetForce PRO Backpack is five years.
The actual lifespan can be longer or shorter depending on how frequently you
use it and on the conditions of its use. The maximum lifespan of a JetForce PRO
Backpack is up to 10 years from the date of manufacture, even if unused and
properly stored.
Upon reaching the rated number of deployments or maximum lifespan, the pack
must be retired and destroyed to prevent future use.
Factors that will reduce the lifespan of a JetForce PRO Backpack: Falls, abrasion,
wear, prolonged exposure to sunlight, salt water/air, corrosive chemicals, harsh
environments or misuse of the battery.
The typical estimated lifespan of your replaceable Lithium-Ion battery is three to
five years. All Lithium-Ion batteries deteriorate with age.
