9. System Installation and Fitting

To use the Tech-Air® 5 System with a Compatible Garment/garment the user must go
through the following steps:
1. Put on the System, close the Magnetic Zip Closure (1) from bottom to the top.
2. Close the Front Flap (2) with the Alpinestars logo taking care to correctly attach the hook-
and-loop patches, as shown in Figure 8; the System automatically turns on as soon as the
Front Flap is attached to the hook-and-loop patch.
3. Once the Front Flap (2) has been correctly closed, check the LED Display (3) to verify
that the System has turned on and that has started correctly (see "Display Indications" in
Section 13). In particular, the user must verify that after the System starts-up, no system
fault is present.
4. Once verified the regular functioning of the System, signaled by the green (3a) or the
yellow (3b) and green (3a) LEDs, the user may proceed to put on the Compatible Garment/
garment taking care that the System remains well fitted underneath the Compatible
Garment/garment, and that all fits perfectly in place. Particular care must be taken to the
shoulder areas of the System which must be correctly positioned within the sleeves of the
Compatible Garment/garment.
5. Once the System has been correctly installed, fasten the Compatible Garment/garment.
WARNING! It is imperative that the System is fitted correctly in order to provide
the maximum potential protection in an accident. Compatible
Garment/garment which are too small will cause severe discomfort
when the System is inflated, Compatible Garment/garment which are
too large may not hold the System in place during a fall or accident.
In case of doubts or questions regarding fit, seek advice from an
Alpinestars dealer.
Once the System is switched on and the System Check has been successfully passed (see
"Display Indications" in Section 13), the Tech-Air® 5 System is ready to deploy in collisions
with other vehicles, pedestrians or obstacles. The System also activates if the user
experiences a loss of control of the motorcycle which may lead to a fall. A fall from the
motorcycle when stopped, may also activate the System.
WARNING! Always ensure that the Front Flap is open when the Tech-Air® 5
System is not worn by the user; check the LED Display (3) to verify
that the System is not turned on.

10. Transportation of Objects Inside the Compatible
Garment/garment
When using a Compatible Garment/garment, consideration needs to be given to the objects
which may be placed inside its pockets. For example:
- Sharp or pointed objects placed in pockets may pierce the airbag and compromise inflation.
- Bulky objects may limit the airbag expansion after deployment, potentially reducing the
effectiveness of the airbag and/or making the System feel much tighter when inflated,
possibly increasing discomfort or causing distraction or injury.
IMPORTANT!
Particular attention should be paid to the contents of the internal
Compatible Garment/garment's breast pocket, if any. ONLY flat objects such
as wallet or mobile phone should be stored within this pocket.

of ANY size or shape, including sharp or pointed objects, stuffed
inside the Compatible Garment/garment, as they may cause injury to
the user and/or damage to the airbag. Only blunt objects should be
transported in the Compatible Garment/garment provided that they
fit completely inside the pockets.
Tip: Users should note that the System has been tested to be safe when used
in combination with backpacks (worn over the Compatible Garment/
garment) loaded up to a maximum of 6kg (approximately 13 pounds) in
weight.
