Shipping - Alpinestars Tech-Air 5 Plasma System Bedienungsanleitung

16. Shipping

In the event the System needs to be shipped, the User must ALWAYS put the System into
Shipping Mode. To do this, the User must access the Back Protector (4) by opening the
zipper located on the back of the System. The User can easily access the Airbag Control
Unit (5) by opening the back cover with the Velcro closure. Once the cover is removed, the
User can put the System into Shipping Mode by switching the Shipping Mode Switch (8)
to the OFF position, as shown in Figure 30. Shipping Mode will allow the User to ship the
System safely and in compliance with applicable transportation regulations. To be able to
use the System again you will need to turn the System on to restore the System to normal
operation. Simply switch the Shipping Mode Switch (8) back to the ON position.
WARNING! Whenever the System experiences a severe impact that could have
potentially damaged the internal battery, the battery must be
removed from the System before shipment. Therefore, the User must
return the System to the nearest authorized Alpinestars Dealer who
will proceed to remove the battery from the System before shipping.
Moreover, the User is strongly recommended to download and print a copy of the Safety
Data Sheet (SDS) in case they are questioned about the Airbag System by airport staff.
Note: Not all countries permit the import of pyrotechnic devices. Prior to traveling, Users
should check with the appropriate authorities of countries through which and to which they
will be traveling to determine if the System will be permitted entry or not.
