9. System Installation and Fitting
To use the Tech-Air
®
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 outer garment taking
care that the System remains well fitted underneath the outer 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 outer garment.
5. Once the System has been correctly installed, fasten the outer garment.
WARNING!
It is imperative that the System is fitted correctly in order to provide
the maximum potential protection in an accident. Outer garment
which are too small will cause severe discomfort when the System is
inflated, outer 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
under Section 3 above. 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
System is not worn by the user; check the LED Display (3) to verify
that the System is not turned on.
