PRECAUTIONS AFTER AIRBAG INFLATION
CAUTION After inflation, the airbag automatically deflates slowly. External damage
to the vest can be detected by very rapid deflation (less than 5 sec). If you observe
an impact to the airbag, please contact us or take it to an authorised dealer for
servicing. In the event of extensive external or internal damage, repair may not be
possible.
Before reusing the airbag you must check the following points:
The used e-cartridge is replaced by a new Helite e-cartridge of the same
capacity.
The airbag is deflated.
The new e-cartridge is properly connected with the vest.
Other precautions before each use
The vest is properly adjusted.
The vest is correctly closed.
The vest is sufficiently charged (green LED on).
The green LED is on and flashes.
7. Maintenance
A. WASHING
The electronic components must not be in contact with
water. This could damage the electronic system inside. If you wish
to wash your vest, we advise you to use a sponge or a brush soaked
in warm soapy water.
For leather, we recommend using products suitable for this material.
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)
equivalent to the weight written on your e-cartridge.
An e-cartridge of 60GG weighs 212g - Its weight should be between 209g and 215g.
