WARNING! Under NO circumstances should the System (BOTH fully assembled
and disassembled) be washed in a washing machine, tumble dried or
ironed. This may cause permanent damage to the System and cause
malfunctioning of the System.
Before washing, it is necessary to remove some parts of the System, including the System's
removable protection, electronic components and/or other components of the System.
In order to clean the System, the User MUST follow these steps:
16.2.1 REMOVAL OF LIMB PROTECTION
Before washing the System, the User shall remove the limb protection, which includes the
shoulder (2) and elbow (10) protectors. The User can easily remove these components from
their respective pockets, which are located as indicated in the "System Overview" Section
5 (Figure 5).
These components can be washed separately or along with System's washable components
following the instructions reported in Section 16.2.3.
16.2.2 REMOVAL OF NON-WASHABLE COMPONENTS
The second step that the User MUST follow is the removal of non-washable components,
which include: Airbag, Gas Inflators (17) and ALL Electronic components, including the LED
Display (4). This operation can be done following these indications:
1. First place the System with the back facing down on a flat surface, preferably a workbench
or table. Detach the Airbag from the Base Layer (5) by opening all the connection clips
arranged as shown in Figure 28. The User can access these connections via the Base Layer
(5) openings indicated in Figure 28. There are a total of 10 Airbag clips which are distributed
and numbered as indicated in Figure 28: 3 clips on the Left Shoulder area (clips 3-4-5), 2
clips on the Right Shoulder area (6-10), 3 clips for the Chest area (7-8-9) and 2 clips for the
Back Area (1-2). It is suggested to detach these clips in sequential order, beginning with clips
located on the lower back (1-2), then moving to the clips on the shoulders(3-4-5, and 6),
then to the clips on the chest (7-8-9) and finally to the last clip number-10 on shoulder)
(see Figure 28).
2. Once all the Airbag clips have been detached, first turn the System with the backprotector
facing upwards, open the lower zip of the Hydration Bag Container (9) and the Electronic
Case (16) positioned in the back area of the System by pulling down on the red pull tab
with your right hand and lifting up the Electronic Case with your left hand simultaneously.
3. Once the Electronic Case (16) has been lifted up, the User can detach all the Electronics
components (13-15-19) along with the Gas Inflators (17) by simply pushing up the Removable
Inflators Housing (18) (see Figure 25). The User can do this by putting their two thumbs at
the bottom of the little black box which contains the Electronic Control Unit that it located
at the top of the Housing, and pushing firmly upwards until it clicks, and then the User can
easily lift it up out of the Removable Inflators Housing (18).
