5. MAINTENANCE, STORAGE AND TRANSPORT
5.1. YEARLY SELF INSPECTION
The LiTRIC® System should be inspected
at least once per year.
• Deploy the airbag at least once a year
for testing and training purposes.
• In doing so, check that the airbag
remains fully inflated for a minimum of
three minutes.
• Inspect the airbag for any damage and
then repack properly.
ATTENTION
If the LiTRIC® Avalanche Airbag shows any signs of damage send it back to the
manufacturer for a full inspection (see point 5.3).
• Before storing the LiTRIC® Avalanche
Airbag, ensure that the entire LiTRIC®
System is completely dry.
• Check the LiTRIC® backpack (S) regu-
larly for any damage.

5.2. SERVICE FOLLOWING
DEPLOYMENT IN AN
AVALANCHE
Deployment of the airbag in an avalanche
puts a great deal of stress on the material
and can damage the LiTRIC® Avalanche
Airbag. It is crucial that a service inspec-
tion be carried out following deployment
in an avalanche. Send the LiTRIC®
Avalanche Airbag in to the manufacturer
for inspection following deployment in an
avalanche (see point 5.3).
