If a rider forgets to disconnect
the coiled wire and dismantle a motorcycle, will the airbag be activated? |
 |
A tensile force of about 30kg is
needed to release the key ball to activate the airbag. Normally,
the dismounting rider feels a strong tug to know that he/she has
to disconnect the coiled wire before the airbag is activated. In
fact, a small motorcycle or a scooter may topple over, if the rider
forgets to disconnect the coiled wire before dismounting. Always
disconnect the coiled wire before dismounting.
|
|
Once an airbag is activated and
inflates, can it be reused? |
|
Yes, it can be reused if it has
not been damaged. Replace the gas cartridge using the setting bolt
and the hexagon wrench supplied with the Hit-air. If there is a
damage to the airbag, ask an authorized dealer for a maintenance
check.
|
|
Can I wash my jacket as it is? |
|
A jacket with an airbag and a gas
cartridge fitted can be hosed but cannot be
washed in water. Or remove the airbag system, linings and protectors
and wash
the outer jacket or vest only in accordance with the washing instructions.
DonÕt dry-clean at a high temperature.
(How to remove the airbag system . See UserÕs Guide)
|
|
Can I wear a light backpack or
something similar over a Hit-air? |
|
Yes, but be careful of its strap
not to obstruct the free inflation of the airbag.
 |
If possible, refrain from wearing
them to avoid possible interference with the airbag to inflates |
|
|
f an inflated airbag
is damaged by friction with the road surface in an accident, will
it still be effective? |
|
The airbag inflates in full in 0.5
seconds to do its job, well before it is torn or
damaged.
|
Even before the airbag inflates
in full, it is quite effective for shock buffering. After the
airbag inflates, it leaks the gas slowly. |
