1. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM.

This manual provides you with information about the function and use of the ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM. It applies to every out of bounds

snow sport enthusiast.

Please read this manual carefully before you use the device. Pay special attention to the warning notices and strictly adhere to the informa-

tion within the user manual. In order to be able to easily consult this user manual we suggest that you keep it in a convenient location.

The ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM is an emergency equipment, which under certain conditions can prevent a total burial if activated. It can-

not prevent the release of an avalanche. An element of deadly risk remains even if the user doesn’t get buried. Every avalanche is absolute-

ly life threatening regardless of any equipment. Therefore the ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM should not encourage you to take greater risks.

The ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM is certified by TÜV Süd (Daimlerstr. 11, 85748 Garching bei München, Germany.) to meet the require-

ments of the EU regulation (EU2016/425).

2. WARNING & APPROPRIATE USE

1- The ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM cannot prevent avalanches from occurring.

2- The intended and reasonably foreseeable use of this backpack is only: skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing. IT CANNOT BE USED IN

WATER.

3- Avalanches are life-threatening, no matter what equipment is deployed.

4- Users must not take more risks simply because they are wearing a ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM.

5- Use of an avalanche backpack is no guarantee that total burial in snow will not occur.

6- The ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM requires careful handling and proper inspection before each use.

7- When packing the airbags make sure that nothing can tear or damage the airbag, inflator system and its fabric cover. Also make sure

that the airbag can open up freely.

8- Fold the airbag according to the instructions. Improper folding inhibits the opening of the airbag, can lead to malfunctioning and can

damage the backpack.

9- G3 cannot be held responsible for injuries caused by an avalanche involving its ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM.

10- Hazard is best avoided by avoiding hazardous situations.

11- Only use original ALPRIDE cartridges.

12- Do not throw or stress the cartridges. Risk of explosion! Max. temperature range is -30 to +50 ºC.

13- Keep children away from the ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM.

14- Be careful not to endanger other people when practicing the activation of the air-bag.

15- In order to avoid an unwanted or inadvertent activation where other people could be harmed by such an accidental activation, it is rec-

ommended that you stow the trigger handle in the shoulder strap sleeve with the covered zipper, especially on chairlifts, in gondolas,

in or around a helicopter, the bus, train, automobile, etc.

16- The ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM does not replace conventional avalanche rescue equipment: transceivers, shovels and probes should

always be taken on off-piste tours.

17- The ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM has to stay clean all time. In case of a spoiled inflator system, the function of the airbag system is not

granted.

18- Do not use the ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM with unauthorized carrying systems (backpack, vest, etc.).

4.1. INSTRUCTIONS

The ALPRIDE cartridges have the lifejacket’s standard. No maintenance is required and they are certified without leaks and used for almost

50 years in the US navy.

Once the airbag has been inflated, the gas cartridges have to be exchanged with a new set of a full one. The ALPRIDE cartridges are

disposable; no refill is possible. Inappropriate handling can lead to system failure.

The ALPRIDE cartridges are the same for all the brands using the ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM. Flying with this type of cartridges is ap-

proved by IATA (The International Air Transport Association is the trade association for the world’s airlines).

The ALPRIDE cartridges must be kept safe from harm. Damaged cartridges must be replaced.

The ALPRIDE cartridges must be kept away from sources of heat (direct sunlight, hobs, stoves, etc.).

4.2. TYPE & INSPECTION

1- The working pressure of this cartridge is 17.5 mpa.

2- The cartridges are designed for a temperature range of -30 to +50ºC.

3- Use of the cartridge must be limited to this ambient temperature range.

4- One cartridge contains compressed argon and the other one liquefied CO2 gas.

5- This gas cartridge must only be used with Alpride device. Do not refill disposable cartridges. Content is under pressure of 17.5 mpa. If

the weight of this gas cartridge is less than the minimum weight marked on the gas cartridge (min. gross weight) it should be rejected.

5. OPERATION/GETTING READY

In the event of an avalanche, the user must tug on the trigger handle in order to release the compressed gas of the two ALPRIDE car-

tridges: this inflates the 150 litres avalanche airbag within 3 seconds.

The ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM concept is based on the physical principle of inverse segregation. This is a phenomenon whereby, given

a uniformly moving mass of particles, the smaller particles sink downwards and the larger ones float to the surface. The inflated airbag

increases the victim’s volume and greatly amplifies this inverse segregation effect. The avalanche backpack helps prevent total burial in

the snow. The airbag’s shape protects the back and the head of the user. Moreover, the rounded shape gives optimal float efficiency on

the avalanche and the bright airbag color helps rapid localization.

5.1. INITIAL OPERATION

The uncompromising functioning and the personal handling by the user of the ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM are critical. The handling is

straightforward but must be done with care and according to the steps outlined below:

6.1. REGULAR CHECKS

Your ALPRIDE avalanche backpack requires no maintenance but the following points have to be observed:

1- Deploy the airbag before the new season starts or at least once a year or after the backpack has been exposed to moisture/wet

weather. Check its condition, allow it to dry and fold it back together again.

2- Pack the airbag away only when it is completely dry.

3- Prior to every tour, check all the points described in this user manual and inspect the condition of the system’s safety straps and fasten-

ings.

4- Make sure that the cartridges are not pierced (empty) and that the red dot on the inflator systems is not visible on the inflator cover

window.

Practice deploying the airbag so you have a feel for the amount of force you need to apply. In the event of a real avalanche, you will then

be able to deploy it correctly and intuitively. Before practising, remove the cartridges from the inflator system. Now tug on the handle. You

should hear a “clack” sound that tells you the deployment was successful.

6.2. DEPLOYING THE ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM

In the event of an avalanche, immediately deploy the airbag. It is better to pull once (too) hard on the handle than too gently: give the trigger

handle a good, hard, fast tug (approx. 8–12 kg). The airbag will inflate on its own within 3 seconds. It makes a loud filling sound as it does

so. The airbag is self-inflating, independent of whether you are skiing, are falling, are lying on top of the airbag or are already captured by the

moving snow. The inflated airbags will not compromise your possible escape or avoidance of rocks etc., which you should always try to do.

6.3. HANDLING DURING AVALANCHE INCIDENT

In the event of an avalanche, always try to reach a place of safety or escape from the path of the snowslip. If on them, try also to remove

your skis or snowboard, as these have an anchoring effect in an avalanche. Once the avalanche appears to be losing momentum, close

your mouth and hold your arms in front of your face to create a life-saving air pocket. Once the avalanche has stopped moving and you

can extract yourself, do not remove the airbag and help others. Only remove when you are confident there is no more risk of a second

avalanche.

6.4. DEFLATING AND RE-FOLDING THE AIRBAG

IMPORTANT NOTES

DO NOT TWIST THE AIRBAG

DO NOT CROSS THE HOOKS

DO NOT FOLD THE AIRBAG

DO NOT ROLL THE AIRBAG

DO NOT BLOCK THE AIRBAG TO DEFLATE THE AIRBAG, USE THE SCREW

ONLY (NOT A SCREW DRIVER OR A PEN).

MAKE SURE THE STRAP IS ALWAYS

WELL TIGHTENED.

G3 shall not be liable for any damages and losses due to incorrect reloading.

HOW TO ADJUST THE TRIGGER HANDLE

STEP 1

Adjust the height of the trigger handle on the shoulder strap. There are three

different settings (S/M/L).

The trigger handle should ideally be at chest height.

STEP 2

Turn up the trigger handle to

change the height position.

STEP 3

Then slide the trigger handle out

of the webbing loop according

and slide it back in the correct

height.

7. MAINTENANCE

7.1. POST-AVALANCHE CHECK

Every use of the ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM can negatively affect the material. Often the damage is not visible with the naked eye. After

a use in an avalanche, contact the authorized Dealer where you have bought your ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM for further inspection.

If you are unable to send the ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM, then following points are recommended to check:

1- Check the airbags visually for punctures

2- Check the airbag fastening straps for tears

3- Check the shoulder, waist and chest straps as well as the seams for tears

4- Check all buckles (adjustment buckles at the shoulder straps, waist and chest strap)

5- Check buckles as well as leg straps for tears and deformation

7.4. STORAGE, CLEANING & SERVICE LIFE

STORAGE

Store your ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM in a cool, dry environment. The cartridges can be left attached to the system, though we recom-

mend detaching them and pulling the trigger handle to release the spring if storing the backpack for a longtime. For safety reasons, keep

the backpack and cartridge out of the reach of children.

G3 shall not be liable for any damages and losses due to improper storage.

CLEANING

Use only water (no cleaning products!) to clean the backpack. Ensure that the entire product is dry before using it again to avoid the risk of

icing. In case of a dirty inflator, the inflator system must be cleaned properly with a damp soft microfiber towel.

G3 shall not be liable for any damages and losses due to improper cleaning.

DISPOSAL

Dispose of the product in domestic waste. Do not mechanically disrupt or incinerate the product. This may lead to potential hazards.

SERVICE LIFE

The product has a limited life time and should be replaced in case of signs of mechanical wear. It is recommended to regularly control

your gear and to replace it at least every five years after first use. The functioning could be reduced due to mechanical wear or improper

use. Dispose of the product if you notice any damage. The ALPRIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM is designed to withstand 20 inflations and 40

practice/test triggers not involving inflation. The cartridges are designed to have a service life of 10 years as of fabrication date/first use.

7.5. TRANSPORT & TRAVEL
