21. Important Information for Users WARNING!
The Tech-Air® 3 Canvas System is an active safety protection system that is
different from normal motorcycle clothing and as a result requires additional
care and precautions. You must read and understand this user manual fully
before using the System, as well as pay close attention to the following warnings:
• The System can only provide a limited amount of protection in an accident or event. As
such, there always remains a possibility that a serious or fatal injury could occur even when
using the System.
• Certain types of movements could be interpreted as a crash by the System and cause a
deployment though no crash has occurred.
• The System has been designed to deploy in crashes above a minimum energy threshold.
This is to prevent wasteful use of the charges in situations where protection typically would
not be needed. Thus, in low speed/low energy crashes it is likely and reasonable that the
System will not deploy.
• The System contains no parts which may be serviced by final customers, and accordingly
must be serviced and recharged ONLY by approved Alpinestars' Service Personnel.
• Do not attempt to make any modifications or adjustments to the electronics and/or to
the System.
• The System must only be used for motorcycle street riding and limited off-road use.
• This System is NOT to be used for any other purpose, motorcycle-related or otherwise. This
includes: road racing, heavy off-road use, Enduro, Motocross, Supermoto, performing stunts
and any type of non-motorcycling activity. Wearing the System during any non-intended
activity (with the electronic unit switched on) may cause the System to deploy and cause
injury or death to you or others and may cause damage to property. Alpinestars does not
accept any claims for malfunctions of the System used outside the environments for which
its use is intended.
• When not in use and being stored, transported, or shipped the System must be turned off
by keeping the Activation Zip (1) open.
