Important Information For Users Warning - Alpinestars Tech-Air 5 System Guia Del Usuario

21. Important Information for Users WARNING!

The Tech-Air 5 System is an active safety protection system that is different
®
from normal motorcycle clothing and as a result requires additional care and
precautions. You must read and understand the instruction manual fully before
use, as well as pay close attention to the following warnings:
• The System can only provide a limited amount of protection in an accident or event. As
such, there always remains a possibility that a serious or fatal injury could occur even when
using the System.
• The System is designed and developed for street use when in Street Mode, race use when
in Race Mode and limited off-road use only. This System has not been designed for hard
off-road use, stunt use or any non-motorcycling applications. Alpinestars does not accept
any claims for malfunctions of the System used outside the environments for which its use
is intended.
• Certain types of movement could be interpreted as a crash by the System and cause a
deployment though no crash has occurred.
• The System has been designed to deploy in crashes above a minimum energy threshold.
This is to prevent wasteful use of the charges in situations where protection typically would
not be needed. Thus, in low speed/low energy crashes it is likely and reasonable that the
System will not deploy.
• The System contains no parts which may be serviced by final customers, and must be
serviced and recharged ONLY by approved Alpinestars Service Personnel, in order to ensure
this equipment is sealed into the vest. Breaking these seals will void any claims against
warranty or system malfunctions.
• Do not attempt to make any modifications or adjustments to the electronics and to the
vest of the System.
• The System must only be used for motorcycle street riding in Street Mode or race use
when in race mode or limited off-roading – it is not to be used for any other purpose,
motorcycle-related or otherwise. This includes: Enduro, Motocross, Supermoto, performing
stunts and any type of non-motorcycling activity. Wearing the System during any non-
intended activity (with the unit switched on) may cause the System to deploy and cause
injury or death to you or others and may cause damage to property.
• When not in use and being stored, transported, or shipped the System must be turned off
by keeping the Front Flap (2) open.
• Prior to each use, the System should be inspected for any signs of wear or damage.
Additionally, when turned on the LED display (3) must be checked. In the event that the
System reports a fault (red LED is illuminated), users should not use the System and must
follow the instructions in this booklet.
• Whenever the LED Display (3) gives a low battery indication the System MUST be recharged
as soon as possible.
• The System must never be machine washed, submerged in water, tumble dried or ironed.
• After a deployment, the System must be returned to either an Alpinestars Tech-Air
which can arrange for the System to be recharged or directly to an Alpinestars Tech-Air
Service Center.
• Even if the System has not been used, or the airbag has never fired, it is important that
the System be serviced at least once every two years or 5oo hours of functioning. This can
be arranged through an Alpinestars Tech-Air
Service Center.
