REGULAR CHECKS
Your KLIM avalanche backpack requires no unordinary 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 ride, check all the points described in this user manual and inspect the condition of the system's safety straps and
fastenings.
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.

POST-AVALANCHE CHECK
Every use of the KLIM ALPRIDE® E1 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 KLIM dealer where you have bought your KLIM ALPRIDE® E1 AIRBAG SYSTEM
for further inspection.
If you are unable to send the KLIM ALPRIDE® E1 AIRBAG SYSTEM, then following points are recommended to check:
• Check the airbags visually for punctures.
• Check the airbag fastening straps for tears.
• Check the shoulder, waist and chest straps as well as the seams for tears.
• Check all buckles (adjustment buckles at the shoulder straps, waist and chest strap).
• Check buckles as well as leg straps for tears and deformation.
