Airbag Inflation - Osprey SOELDEN PRO Handbuch

AIRBAG INFLATION

5
+ In the event of an avalanche, pull hard (between 5 to 10 kg) on the activation trigger. The airbag will inflate in 3-4 seconds.
+ The compressor will operate for six seconds and then stop.
+ The airbag will remain inflated for a minimum of three minutes and then slowly begin to deflate.
+ Once inflation is complete, the SuperCapacitors will automatically recharge thanks to the two AA batteries if installed (see section 4)
Note: In compliance with the EN 16716 standard "Certification of Avalanche Airbags," the airbag must remain inflated for a minimum of three
minutes. An avalanche airbag is not a life vest; therefore, it is not expected to remain inflated at full pressure for more than three minutes.
HANDLING DURING AVALANCHE INCIDENT
In the event of an avalanche, always try to reach a place of safety or escape from the path of the snowslip. If in the path, try to remove
your skis or snowboard, as these have an anchoring effect in an avalanche. Once the avalanche appears to be losing momentum,
close your mouth and hold your arms in front of your face to create a life-saving air pocket. Once the avalanche has stopped moving
and you can extract yourself, do not remove the airbag and help others. Only remove when you are confident there is no more risk
of a second avalanche.
The airbag may deploy if the Deployment Handle is pulled anytime the lights are illuminated, even during charging.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS
1
Deflate by pushing and turning the deflation knob
The airbag should be deflated using the airbag's
deflation knob. This safety knob is designed to prevent
the system from accidentally activating in the backpack.
Press and turn the knob counter-clockwise.
Once the knob is released, it returns to its initial position
automatically so it won't be left in the deflated position.
