POST-AVALANCHE CHECK
Every use of the Float E2 Airbag system can negatively affect the material. Often the damage is not visible with the naked eye. After use in an
avalanche, you must contact your nearest BCA or ALPRIDE service center for inspection of the Float E2 Airbag system. Until you are able to send
back the Float E2 Airbag system, the following points must be checked.
• Check the airbag visually for punctures.
• Check the airbag fastening straps for tears.
• Check the shoulder, waist and chest straps as well as the seams 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.
