10. STORAGE
Check the weight of the inflator regularly as described
in Step 2. Otherwise, you can leave the inflator in-
serted. Always make sure that the protective cap is on
the inflator when it is not inserted. Turn the activation
handle to the OFF position after every use, in order to
avoid accidental activation. The ABS
®
Avalanche Airbag
should be stored in a dry, rodent-free area and away
from children. Do not leave exposed to direct sunlight
and keep it away from acids and their vapours.
Avoid deep discharge of the battery before storage. A
battery charge of 50%–80% is optimum for storage if
you want to ensure a long working life for the battery.
Store the system at a temperature of 15–20°C
11. CLEANING
Use only warm water to clean the airbag or backpack
material; do not use harsh cleaning agents such as
OxyCleaner. Try not to get large volumes of water or
liquid on the system. The ABS
®
P.RIDE System is man-
ufactured in compliance with IP 65 and is therefore
splash-proof.
Warning: after cleaning, make sure that the system is
completely dry before use, otherwise it may freeze.
