7. General information & Safety precautions
CAUTION Failure to follow safety instructions may lead to airbag
y
y Helite airbags offer full protection only when inflated. They stiffen the trunk from
neck to pelvis and reduce impact forces.
y An airbag system cannot guarantee the total safety of the biker, it reduces the
risks. It does not protect parts of the body that are not covered by the airbag. For
additional protection on a motorcycle, the user must wear a helmet, gloves and CE-
certified motorcycle equipment.
y The user must comply with the speed limits and traffic regulations in force in the
country in which he is riding.
y When an accident or a fall is detected, the airbag inflates automatically in a fraction
of a second. Nevertheless, the user must ensure that the airbag system is switched
on before riding the motorcycle, and that it is correctly charged.
y Air cushions may deteriorate or get pierced during a fall if they hit a sharp or pointed
object.
y Take out any sharp objects from your pockets before using your Helite airbag.
y Check that your airbag is in good working condition, i.e. no rips or tears, before
each use.
y Our products do not contain any allergenic substances. The design will not cause
any irritation or discomfort to the wearer.
y Do not sew or stick anything onto the Helite airbag (neither the airbag itself nor its
fabric) as it could pierce the airbag and prevent it from working properly.
y Do not remove or modify any part of the airbag, the electronic system or the fabric.
y The whole vest (textile, electronics, airbag, sensor) must not be put in the microwave.
y The vest and the SDU fork sensor should only be used in a temperature range of
-10 to + 45°C. Prolonged exposure of the system to temperatures below -10°C and
above 45°C may impair the proper functioning of the system.
y Keep out of reach of children.
