DEPLOYED SYSTEMS
When BOTH Gas Inflators (15) of the System have deployed, the System will show solid red
LED (2a).
For the transport of deployed Systems with an undamaged battery, ALWAYS keep the Front
Flap (3) open.
The deployed System can then be delivered or shipped by the users (e.g. for servicing) to the
nearest Tech-Air® Service Center according to regulation UN3481, provided that the battery
is not damaged (as set out above) and keeping the Front Flap (3) open.
In case of a damaged battery, users need to physically take the System to the nearest Tech-
Air Service Center as damaged batteries may not be transported.

15. Maintenance, Servicing and Disposal
Garments with electronically activated Airbags are critical safety Systems which must be
maintained in good working order to ensure their correct function. If not, they may not
function properly or at all.
Maintenance
Prior to each use, the User should conduct a check of the System, looking for any signs of
wear (loose threads, holes, marks) or damage. If any signs of wear are found, the System
should be inspected further by an authorized Service Center.
Periodically check the System's Back Protector (5) for wear and tear. If you notice that the
System's Back Protector (5) has any signs of degradation, cracking, or becomes chipped or
delaminated, you should replace the System. If the System's Back Protector (5) has been
subjected to a severe impact, the System should be replaced, in particular if the back pro-
tector's plastic has lightened in color at the impact point. In case of minor impacts, the
System should first be checked by the authorized Alpinestars dealer where the System was
purchased before further use. The System, inclusive of its Back Protector (5), should only be
reused if it is in perfect conditions, with no visible damage. Under no circumstances should
the User attempt to repair, alter, or modify the System or the Back Protector (5). This in-
cludes the application of paints or dyes which will compromise the material integrity of the
System's Back Protector (5).
Servicing
The System must be routinely serviced at least every 2 years or after 500 hours of function-
ing by the authorized dealer where the System was purchased. During the routine service
the Airbag and the System's components will be inspected. Routine service can be request-
ed directly at the authorized dealer where the System was purchased. The following work is
undertaken as part of the routine service:
• All components are removed from the System and the vest is cleaned.
