1. Insert the Electronic Components. Once the Airbag has been repositioned, position
the Airbag with the Back Protector (5) facing upwards so you can now insert the electronic
components and their wiring through the opening present inside the Back Protector (5).
With the System positioned with the Front Flap (3) facing upwards, access the inner area
of the vest and the wiring in the upper back area. Place the peripheral sensors back in their
holders in their Velcro pockets, making sure to match the color of the sensor with the color
indicated on the label, and close the Velcro securely. Finally, reposition the LED Display (2)
by first passing it carefully through the elastic loop located in the left shoulder area, as indi-
cated in Figure 14, and then pass the wiring down through the left chest area to the opening
near the Front Flap (3). Finally, insert the LED Display (2) inside the Front Flap (3) and close
the Velcro securely. Close the last Airbag Connection Clip (#1 green) in the upper back area
and check that the Airbag is well positioned and without ANY folds or twisted parts. You can
do this check by gently moving your hand across all sections of the Airbag. Also be sure to
check that ALL wiring is not tightly pulled in any location. Now, make sure to close all the
internal openings as indicated in Figure 6.
2. Close the Airbag Control Unit and Check the System. Turn the System with the Back
Protector (5) facing upwards. Check that the Gas Inflators Housing (13) is securely attached
and that all components are properly in place. Now you may reinsert the Cover (12) and
make sure it is securely closed. Finally, verify that the System is fully functional by closing
the System's Front Flap (3) and checking the LED sequence reported in Section 13.
WARNING!
Always check that all the 11 Connection Clips are properly closed af-
ter the reassembly of the Airbag on the Base Layer (1).
WARNING!
Under NO circumstances can the User position the Gas Inflators
Housing (13) with only ONE Gas Inflator, but always with BOTH the
Gas Inflators (15), as indicated in Section 16 "Actions in the Event of
an Accident". The System can ONLY be used with two Gas Inflators
(15) inside, NEVER use it with ONLY one Gas Inflator.
14.2.5 Storage
When not in use, it is recommended to store the System in its original packaging. It may
be stored flat provided that no heavy or sharp objects are placed on top of it. The System
can also be stored hung up from a rail. It should always be stored in a cool, dry place, out
of direct sunlight.
Even if the System is turned off, the battery of the System slowly self-discharges, in particu-
lar if the System is stored in a warm environment. It is thus recommended that, even whilst
in storage, the System be periodically recharged (at least once every 6 months) to prevent
battery drainage and shortening of the battery life.
If storage is longer than 6 months, please fully charge the Battery (14) then disconnect it
from the Electronic Control Unit (16) following the instructions in Section 14.2.6 "Transpor-
tation".
