Sections in the manual that are marked with this
20
symbol identify risks which, if not observed 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 regard-
less of any equipment. 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 situation of an avalanche requires
a practiced approach to the ABS system. ABS therefore highly
recommends that the triggering of the airbag is practiced as part
of your personal training.
Please read the user manual before you practice your first activa-
tion by pulling the activation handle.Complete the warranty form
online under www.abs-airbag.com. 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!
• Only when both parts have been changed is the system
ready to use again.
• 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.
