To ensure that your AVABAG avalanche backpack is reliably ready to use, the cartridge should always be completely full. Therefore, the AVABAG cartridge’s fill level must be regularly checked.

Checking the fill level of the cartridge

To do this, weigh your AVABAG cartridge without its protective cap. The weight must correspond to the weight specified on the AVABAG cartridge (+/-5g / 0.18oz). The cartridge must be replaced if the weight exceeds 5g above or below the specified value.

If the AVABAG cartridge is not correctly filled, the AVABAG avalanche airbag might not activate!

More information can be found in the instruction manual.
