2. Detach the Electronic Components. Remove the various electronic components (includ-
ing the LED Display (2) and peripheral sensors) by separating them from the Base Layer (1)
(Figure 15). To remove the LED Display (2), open the Velcro located under the Front Flap (3)
and gently pass the LED Display (2) through the opening of the vest. When you remove the
LED Display (2), be careful as you pass the electronic LED board through the elastic loop (lo-
cated in the shoulder area) that is used for the correct positioning of the cable. To remove
the peripheral sensors, access the shoulder area internally, open the Velcro, and remove the
sensors from their pockets. Finally, access the pocket inside the upper back area and open
the Velcro very widely, so as not to obstruct the removal of the various components.

3. Remove the Gas Inflators Housing (which also houses the Electronic Control Unit).
At this point you need to turn the System with the Back Protector (5) facing upwards and
access the Airbag Control Unit (6) by opening the Cover (12). Now you must remove the
Gas Inflators Housing (13) by lowering the lever found at the top edge of the Gas Inflators
Housing (13) and located at the top edge in the center and between the two Gas Inflators
(15) while pushing down, as shown in Figure 16. Next you must slide the carrier from bot-
tom to top by placing your thumbs below the Gas Inflators (15) and pushing forward in an
upwards direction toward the top back of the System. You need to push hard to release the
black clips near the small steel screws that are present at the bottom of the Gas Inflators
Housing (13). The Gas Inflators Housing (13) including all its parts (Electronic Control Unit
(16), Battery (14), Gas Inflators (15)) can now be separated from the Base Layer (1), by also
