Maintenance, Servicing And Disposal - Alpinestars Tech-Air 5 System Guia Del Usuario

15. Maintenance, Servicing and Disposal

Garments with electronically activated airbags are critical safety systems which must be
maintained in good working order to ensure their correct function. If not, they may not
function properly or at all.
Maintenance
Prior to each use, the user should conduct a check of the System, looking for any signs of
wear (loose threads, holes, marks) or damage. If any signs of wear are found, the System
should be inspected further by an authorized Alpinestars Tech-Air
Servicing
Alpinestars recommends that the System be routinely serviced at least every 2 years or
after 500 hours of functioning by Alpinestars or an authorized Alpinestars Tech-Air
Center. During the routine service the airbag and the unit's components will be inspected.
Routine can be requested directly at an Alpinestars Tech-Air
undertaken as part of the routine service:
• All components are removed from the System and the vest is washed.
• The diagnostics of the electronic unit are checked (and firmware upgraded, if applicable).
• The airbag is inspected for any sign of wear and/or damage.
• The System is reassembled into the vest and checked functionally.
Tip:
Two years or 500 hours of functioning is the maximum recommended
period between inspections.
WARNING! If no service or recharge operation has been conducted after two
years or 500 hours of functioning from the purchase date, there is
the possibility that the System will not function inside the Envelope
of Protection.
IMPORTANT! The access zip to the airbag is partially sealed. Cutting these Warranty Seals
(5) voids the warranty on the product.
WARNING! There are NO user serviceable parts inside the System. Under no
circumstances should users attempt to open, service, disassemble or
modify the System. Do not remove or change the internal battery. Any
and all work performed on the System must be done by Alpinestars
or an authorized Alpinestars Tech-Air
or damage may result otherwise.
IMPORTANT! The access zip to the airbag is partially sealed. Cutting these Warranty Seals
(5) voids the warranty on the product.
Disposal of the System at the end of life span
Deployed System
IMPORTANT! The System contains electronic components, accordingly, at the end of its
working life, the System must be disposed following the European Directive
2012/19/EU requirements. The symbol of the crossed bin displayed on the
System indicates the electronic parts of the System which, at the end of
its life span, must be separately disposed from other waste, for appropriate
waste processing and recycling. The user must therefore take the Electronic
Unit (8), Magnetic Cable (12) and all other electronic parts marked with
the crossed bin, to those sites assigned for the disposal of electrical and
electronic waste or return the System to an Alpinestars Tech-Air
disposal in accordance with the local waste requirements.
An adequate waste disposal System allows for a correct and environmentally-friendly
recycling, processing and disposal of the System itself, thus avoiding the dispersion of
dangerous substances and any negative effects on the environment and health and favoring
the reuse and/or recycle of the materials which the System is made of. The unauthorized
disposal of the System on behalf of the user, entails application of fines pursuant to the
current law. We urge you to check the current legislation and the measures adopted by the
public services operating in your territory.
Tip: A deployed airbag can be confirmed by turning on the System and looking
for the red LED (3c) on the LED Display (3) (Section 13) or checking the
System status using the Tech-Air
