Call for a review of the Mammut airbag systems 3.0

Checks the course of the release cable

by PowderGuide • 02/22/2018
For safety reasons, Mammut asks all customers who own a Generation 3.0 avalanche airbag to check the route of the deployment cable. The proper functioning of the avalanche airbag can only be guaranteed if the cable is properly installed.

Affected are all airbag systems of generation 3.0, this applies to RAS and PAS systems, as well as the products under the Snowpulse Highmark brand with the Mammut airbag system 3.0. The airbag backpacks of generation 3.0 are characterized by a neon-orange trigger handle, the older systems (generation 2.0) with a red handle are not affected. Owners of a corresponding airbag system are requested to check their system using the instructions or to contact Mammut customer service.

Problem: If the system is installed incorrectly, the deployment cable may bend too much. This can impair functionality if it is triggered several times. If the installation error is detected, Mammut asks the persons concerned to carry out the correction immediately in accordance with the instructions. Alternatively, they can also contact Mammut customer service.

Check

If your backpack is a Generation 3.0 airbag system, which is characterized by a neon-orange deployment handle, check your airbag backpack. To do this, open the main compartment of your backpack. The compartment with the airbag balloon does not need to be opened. Then remove the pressure cartridge if it is screwed in. Now you can check the position of the deployment cable. The area where the black cable leaves the deployment unit should be clearly visible. The Bowden cable should run into the shoulder strap without any sharp bends. If the cable is not clearly visible or is severely bent, Mammut will ask you to correct this.

To correct this, simply open the zipper on the shoulder strap where the release handle is located. Now pull the release cable firmly down above the hook so that the cable is pulled tight. Then check again that the cable is routed correctly at the release unit.
