ABS Avalanche Demo and Instruction

[FirstPlaceParts]

Here is a link to the proper use and testing of a ABS Avalanche Pack.

It explains the canister, t-handle and proper packing. Anyone who has a pack should watch this.

Thanks

I had several questions also before we deployed one. If you know anyone who needs to see this video send them the link.

The only thing missing from this video is that, you DO NOT WANT to pull the t-handle without the canister in place. The t-handle has a small explosive charge in it and the cable running from the t-handle to the canister is hallow. The t-handle sends a charge down to the canister to break the seal.

Thus never pull the handle unless in a test situation or in an avalanche.

Thanks

The manual says "Check the weight of the cartridge without the cartridge cap before each use."

They also recommend unfolding the airbags at least once a year and a yearly test activation.

Thanks
