Customer Service; Components; Airbags; Suction And Release Valve - ABS Avalanche Airbag System Instructions For Use Manual

If you are unable to send the ABS Avalanche Airbag in right away
we recommend to check the following:
– check the airbags visually for punctures
– check the airbag fastening straps for tears
– check the shoulder, waist and chest straps as well as the
seems for tears
– check all buckles (adjustment buckles at the shoulder straps,
waist and chest strap)
– check buckles as well as leg straps for tears and deformation
In any case send the ABS Avalanche Airbag System to your
respective service center for inspection.

7.3 Customer service

After three seasons the manufacturer recommends a general
inspection. The ABS Avalanche Airbag including cartridge and
activation handle have to be send to your respective service
center. The ABS customer service will charge for this inspection.
The customer service includes a much more extensive inspection
of all ABS parts than the practice activation or self check.
The appropriate ABS customer service for each of the countries
is listed on our web page www.abs-airbag.com under contacts.

8. Components

8.1 Airbags

Each of the two airbags has a volume of 85 liters when inflated.
They are inflated simultaneously but have separate closure and
suction valves. If one of the airbags is damaged the other one will
remain inflated for a sufficient amount of time. The inner pressure
equals approx. 0.1 bar.

8.2 Suction and release valve

This combination part is attached directly to the airbag. The
button for the release valve is located in the middle of the black
suction and release unit. It is protected from unwanted pressure
by a red plastic cover.
The net cover over the suction and release valve prevents snow
entering the airbag when it is being filled. Damaged nets can be
replaced at any time.

8.3 Puncture unit

The puncture unit into which the cartridge is screwed into is
housed in a compartment at the top of the backpack. Make
absolutely sure that it stays clean and that no objects can damage
it. Therefore always close the cover. A screwed in cartridge can
be unscrewed from the puncture unit at any time. Only the pull
on the attached handle will activate the cartridge. We generally
recommend to always leaving the cartridge attached.
