How do I maintain my airbag product?

 

Washing

Your airbag product is not machine washable. Depending on your airbag model, there are three ways to clean it :

  • With a damp cloth: all products
  • By hand: eVest Pro (Held), Airscud Flex (Tucano Urbano)
  • With a water jet: eVest Pro (Held), Armour shirt (RST), U04 and U05 (Ixon), Evo and Evolution+ (Furygan), Airscud Flex (Tucano Urbano), Ipro (iXS)

 

Cleaning with a damp cloth

  • Remove the In&box
  • Moisten a sponge with a little soapy water
  • Clean the textile parts of your airbag

Be careful : never wet the back of the airbag, where the electronic part is located.

  • Remove excess soap with the previously rinsed sponge
  • Dry it with a clean cloth
  • Let the airbag dry on a hanger for 12 hours, away from sunlight

 

Hand washing (if your airbag shell is fully removable)

WARNING: the total washing time should not exceed 10 minutes to limit water penetration into the airbag pocket.

WARNING: to avoid any damage, do not force the connector. If in doubt, refer to the post-inflation procedure to know how to remove the inflator and how to reinstall it.

  • Remove the In&box
  • Open the zipper of the shell and unplug the connector
  • Unzip the shell completely to remove it
  • Unscrew the Inflator, being careful not to lose the seal
  • Remove the back protector
  • Fill a clean container with cold, clear water with a little soap or mild detergent
  • Dip your airbag in the water, being careful not to let any water enter through the alu cap
  • Gently wash it by hand, never wringing it
  • Rinse it with clear water
  • Use a microfiber cloth to gently dry the Alu cap
  • Let the airbag dry on a hanger for 12 hours, away from sunlight

Attention : never wring your airbag.

When your airbag is dry:

  • Reposition the back protector by passing the Alu cap through the hole
  • Close the zippers of the shell halfway
  • Make sure the seal is properly in place in the Alu cap
  • Screw the Inflator back in
  • Plug in the connector
  • Clip the Inflator and make sure the Alu cap, that is, the metal part, is properly in
  • Then completely close the zipper
  • Insert the In&box. The Inflator LED at the top left should turn green
