REGULAR CHECKS
Your ALPRIDE avalanche backpack requires no maintenance but the following points have to be observed:
1- 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.
2- Pack the airbag away only when it is completely dry.
3- Prior to every tour, check all the points described in this user 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.
