Welcome - ABS s.cape Bedienungsanleitung

1. WELCOME

Congratulations on your purchase of the ABS
Avalanche Airbag System.
This manual provides you with information about the
function and use of the ABS Avalanche Airbag System.
It applies to every out of bounds snow sport enthusi-
ast. Please read this manual carefully before you use
this equipment. Pay special attention to the warning
notices and strictly adhere to the information within.
In order to be able to easily consult this user manual
we suggest that you keep it in a convenient location.
Make sure you include it if you choose to pass this
equipment on.
Sections in the manual that are marked with
this symbol identify risks which, if not obser-
ved will lead to serious consequences.
The ABS Avalanche Airbag System is an emergency
equipment, which under certain conditions can prevent
a total burial if activated. It cannot prevent the release
of an avalanche. An element of deadly risk remains
even if the user doesn't get buried. Every avalanche is
absolutely life threatening regardless of any equip-
ment. Therefore the ABS Avalanche Airbag System
should not encourage you to take greater risks.
For the functioning of the ABS Avalanche Airbag you
need an activation unit (cartridge + handle). Each ABS
system is tested prior to delivery. The extreme situa-
tion of an avalanche requires a practiced approach to
the ABS system. ABS therefore highly recommends a
training activation as part of your personal training.
Please read the user manual before you complete the
warranty form online under
www.abs-airbag.com
(under Service/WarrantyCard).
Your warranty claim will then be extended to 4 years.
• Do not attach the activation handle to the ABS-
System unless you have attached a full cartridge
first.
• Always change the activation handle and cartridge
after an activation of the system!
• The system is ready for use again when both
parts have been exchanged.
• Remove the activation handle when airbag is not in
use. Always use the ABS Avalanche Airbag System
in combination with an avalanche transceiver,
shovel and probe.
The ABS-System is Made in Germany.
