WARNING!
Users should be aware that different environmental conditions including
high or low temperatures can influence the characteristics of the System's
back protector and may reduce the performance of the back protector,
even if the T+ and/or T- are present in the pictogram.
WARNING!
Always before any use, check the back protector for any damage to any
part of it. Regardless of the age, do not use The System if you notice any
damage and/or degradation of the back protector.
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 the dealer where the System was
purchased for 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
Undeployed System
WARNING!
An undeployed System still contains live pyrotechnic charges and
thus must NOT be disposed of in household waste or incinerated.
Undeployed System must be returned to an Alpinestars Tech-Air® dealer for subsequent
return to Alpinestars who will handle the disposal. This service is free of charge.
16. Actions in the Event of an Accident
Where the System has deployed, a recharge service is available from an authorized dealer
where the System was purchased that will check the status of the System and consequently
advise on the type of service needed. In fact, the System comes with a certified three-
inflation-airbag, meaning that after a deployment, and when the System is received for
service, the dealer where the System was purchased will:
a. Perform an inflation test of the airbag. If such inflation test is passed, the authorized
dealer will proceed with the replacement of the gas inflators only.
b. In case the inflation test performed is not passed, System will undergo a full service with
the replacement of both the airbag and the gas inflators.
At the third deployment, the System must undergo a full service.
IMPORTANT!
Tech-Air® 5 Electronic Control Unit registers the number of deployments.
After the third deployment, the System will indicate permanently a System
Fault (steady red light on LED Display (3)). The System will remain blocked
until a full service is performed by the authorized dealer where the System
was purchased.
In case of deployment in situation where the user believes the System should not have
deployed, the System should be returned to the authorized dealer where the System was
purchased along with a detailed report of the event (including photos, if possible).
