INTRODUCTION
Many thanks for deciding to purchase a deuter airbag
backpack. The backpack is equipped with the ALPRIDE E2
AIRBAG system.
In this user manual you can find information on the features
and proper operation of the backpack and ALPRIDE E2 AIR-
BAG system.
Please read this user manual carefully before using the sys-
tem. You must comply strictly with all the instructions in the
user manual. It is particularly important to heed the warnings.
To be able to consult this manual when needed, you should
keep it on hand.
Every avalanche, regardless of your equipment, is absolutely li-
fe-threatening. Therefore, you should not use the airbag back-
pack to justify running greater risks. The airbag backpack with
the ALPRIDE E2 AIRBAG system is one part of your safety and
emergency preparedness. In certain circumstances it may pre-
vent you from being completely buried by an avalanche. Howe-
ver, it cannot prevent an avalanche from occurring. Thus, your
life is still at risk, even if you are not completely buried.
The airbag system is based on the principle of physical displa-
(1)
cement , whereby large bodies will float to the surface in flo-
wing currents of snow. If an avalanche occurs, the user must
pull on the activator to deploy the system: the 162-liter avalan-
che airbag will then inflate with air within three seconds.
The inflated airbag increases the volume of the avalanche
victim, thereby maximizing this effect to help the user the most.
The avalanche backpack offers protection from complete buri-
al by an avalanche. The shape of the airbag also protects the
victim's back and head. Furthermore, the rounded shape provi-
des optimal lift out of the avalanche, and the bright color helps
rescuers to locate the victim rapidly.

WARNINGS &
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• All protective gear has its limits. Please read and follow all
instructions carefully.
• This personal protective equipment (PPE) is intended for
use in the following activities: Skiing, snowboarding, ski
and splitboard touring, snowshoe trekking, winter moun-
tain climbing, and driving a snowmobile. IT SHOULD NOT BE
USED IN WATER.
• The airbag system must be used carefully, and you should
thoroughly examine it before each use.
• The system must not be submerged in water.
• Avalanches are always life-threatening, regardless of the
equipment that you use.
• As the user, you should never take chances, even if you
have an airbag system.
• Use of an avalanche backpack is no guarantee of protecti-
on from complete avalanche burial.
• The airbag backpack is no replacement for standard
avalanche protective equipment: Transceivers, shovels,
and avalanche probes must be kept near the slopes where
you are touring at all times.
• Please make sure when packing the airbag that the airbag,
compressor system, and its fabric cover do not get torn or
damaged. Also make sure that there are no obstructions
that could prevent the airbag from deploying.
• Fold the airbag as per the instructions. Improper folding
will prevent the bag from opening, causing operational fai-
lure, and damage the avalanche backpack.
• Only use the ALPRIDE E2 AIRBAG system with the original
airbag backpack and not with any other transport system
(backpacks, vests, etc.) not intended for use with this sys-
tem.
• Install the E2 AIRBAG system before venturing out into an
area at risk of avalanche!
• You may stow soft objects, such as a filled water bottle, in
the back of the pack.
• Close all straps and clip fasteners tightly when using the
system.
• An excessively packed backpack can make it difficult to
engage in your sports activity. With a lighter backpack you
can move more nimbly and have more fun while using.
• It is easier to stay out of danger by avoiding dangerous si-
tuations.
• Please make sure not to endanger other people when trig-
gering the airbag.
