5. MAINTENANCE, STORAGE AND TRANSPORT
5.1. YEARLY INSPECTION
The LiTRIC System should be inspected
at least once per year.
• Deploy the airbag at least once a year
for testing and training purposes.
• In doing so, check that the airbag
remains fully inflated for a minimum of
three minutes.
• Inspect the airbag for any damage and
then repack properly.
• Before storing it, ensure that the entire
LiTRIC System is completely dry.
• Check the backpack regularly for any
damage.
ATTENTION
If the LiTRIC Avalanche Airbag shows any signs of damage send it back to the manufacturer
for a full inspection (see point 5.3).

5.2. SERVICE FOLLOWING
DEPLOYMENT IN AN
AVALANCHE
Deployment of the airbag in an avalanche
puts a great deal of stress on the material
and can damage the LiTRIC Avalanche
Airbag. It is crucial that a service inspec-
tion be carried out following an avalanche
deployment. Send the LiTRIC Avalanche
Airbag in to the manufacturer for inspec-
tion following any live deployment in an
avalanche (see point 5.3).
