TROUBLESHOOTING
Malfunction Possible Cause
Airbag does not • The cartridge(s) is not installed completely
inflate completely
• Airbag improperly packed
• Webbing or something covering and restraining the
zipper
• Something is preventing the
• release valve from closing properly
Airbag fails to • The system is not armed
inflate when
• The cartridges are empty
deployed
• The release valve is not completely closed
• Screw tool not removed from Trigger Reset Port
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• The JetForce UL Backpack must not come into contact with corrosive
materials such as but not limited to battery acid, battery fumes, solvents,
chlorine bleach, antifreeze, isopropyl alcohol or gasoline.
• If you need to clean your pack, use a damp cloth and mild detergent to
spot clean the specific area. Take care not to get the pack overly wet. When
finished cleaning, open any affected pockets, hang the pack, and allow to air
dry before use.
• Do not crush, puncture or subject the Inflation Unit (1e) or Cartridges to
excessive mechanical shock or vibration.
STORAGE, SHIPPING, AND TRANSPORT
Storage
• Disarm the JetForce UL system prior to long term storage.
• Always store the JetForce UL Backpack in a cool (< 23°C/73°F), dry location,
out of direct sunlight, and away from heat sources.
• Prevent damage from sharp objects, animals, corrosive materials, and
mildew.
Shipping
• Protect the JetForce UL Backpack from sharp objects, abrasion, and
crushing forces during transportation.
• Consult your shipping provider before shipping ALPRIDE Cartridges. Specific
Cartridge details:
o Argon (25.3g compressed gas) in non-refillable gas cylinders; UN1006 -
Argon, compressed, Division 2.2
o Carbon dioxide (60g liquefied gas) in non-refillable gas cylinders; UN1013
– Carbon dioxide, Division 2.2
Travel
• Ensure that the Deployment Handle (1c) is stowed within the Deployment
Handle Pocket (1b) with the zipper closed before riding a ski lift, tram,
airplane, helicopter, snowcat or any vehicle and before entering small,
confined spaces.
• JetForce UL Backpack uses ALPRIDE cartridges that are approved by the
IATA (International Air Transport Association) The guidelines for air travel are
outlined in the IATA reference guide under dangerous goods table 2.3A (see
www.iata.org ) The IATA guidelines are only a recommendation for airlines
and do not oblige airlines to let you travel with compressed cartridges. If
travelling within the USA, you must comply with FAA regulations (see www.
faa.gov.)
LIFESPAN, INSPECTION, RETIREMENT AND DISPOSAL
Lifespan
The JetForce UL System is certified for 20 full deployments and 40 trigger
tests, not involving inflation. With normal use and proper care, the typical lifes-
pan of a JetForce UL Backpack is five years; the actual lifespan can be longer
or shorter depending on how frequently you use it and on the conditions of use;
the maximum lifespan is up to 10 years from the date of manufacture, even if
unused and properly stored. The cartridges are designed to have a service life
of 10 years after fabrication date. Upon reaching the rated number of deploy-
ments or maximum lifespan, the pack must be retired and destroyed to prevent
future use. Factors that will reduce the lifespan of a JetForce UL Backpack:
Falls, abrasion, wear, prolonged exposure to sunlight, salt water/air, corrosive
chemicals, harsh environments or misuse of the Inflation Unit. After deployment
in an avalanche it is recommended to retire your JetForce UL Backpack.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect your JetForce UL Backpack for signs of damage and wear before and
after each use.
1. Inspect the airbag for punctures, tears, abrasion, or any damage that may
prevent it from holding air.
2. Inspect the attachment points (11a) between the airbag and pack for
damage.
3. Inspect the Inflation Unit (1e) for cracks, dents, or other damage.
4. Inspect the Deployment Handle (1c) to ensure it is in the proper position
