REGULAR CHECKS
Your OSPREY ALPRIDE avalanche backpack requires no maintenance but the following points must be observed:
+ Deploy the airbag before the new season starts or at least once a year or after the backpack has been exposed to moisture / wet weather.
Check its condition, allow it to dry and fold it back together again.
+ Pack the airbag away only when it is completely dry.
+ Prior to every tour, check all the points described in this owner's manual and inspect the condition of the system's safety straps and
fastenings.
Practice deploying the airbag so you have a feel for the amount of force you need to apply. In the event of a real avalanche, you will then be
able to deploy it correctly and intuitively.
POST-AVALANCHE CHECK
Every use of the OSPREY ALPRIDE E1 AIRBAG SYSTEM can negatively affect the material. Often the damage is not visible with the naked eye.
