Safety Precautions - Helite E-TURTLE Manuel D'utilisation

3. Safety precautions

CAUTION, failure to follow safety instructions may lead to airbag malfunctioning or
y Be sure to choose the right size of your airbag according to your body type and the
size chart of your Helite model (see product sheet provided with user guide).
y For additional protection, the user must wear a jacket, gloves and trousers that are
CE certified.
y When an accident or a fall is detected, the airbag inflates automatically in a fraction
of a second. Nevertheless, the user must ensure that the airbag system is switched
on before riding the motorcycle, and that it is correctly charged.
y An airbag cannot guarantee the complete safety of the rider, but it will offer
considerable extra protection. It does not protect body parts from injuries that are
not covered by the airbag. Please respect both the speed limit and the driving rules.
y Do not remove or modify any part of the airbag, the electronic system or the fabric.
y After an airbag activation, only replace the e-cartridge with a Helite e-cartridge of the
same capacity (GG 60 or GG 100).
y Take out any sharp objects from your pockets before using your Helite airbag.
y Check that your airbag is in good working condition, i.e. no rips or tears, before
each use.
y Do not sew or stick anything onto the Helite airbag (neither the airbag itself nor its
fabric) as it could pierce the airbag and prevent it from working properly.
y Keep out of reach of children.
y The whole vest (textile, electronics, airbag, sensor) must not be put in the microwave.
y The vest should be stored carefully when not used. Keep it away from high
temperatures (60°C) and humidity (e.g. to avoid mould).
y The e-Turtle should only be used in a temperature range of -10 to + 45°C. Prolonged
exposure of the system to temperatures below -10°C and above 45°C may impair
the proper functioning of the system.
y Do not recharge the vest battery near strong heat sources (60°C).
y Neither wash the vest in a washing machine or by hand nor immerse the vest in
water.
y Do not wear clothes too tight over the vest.
