Using the Arva Raid 240 avalanche probe is quite simple. First, when you're in a rescue situation, pull the handle to deploy the probe quickly thanks to the PIN LOCK locking system. Make sure to connect the tube segments easily with the cone inserts. As you insert the probe into the snow, use the grip for better control. The markings on the probe will tell you the snow depth, which helps you locate the victim.
When you've found the victim and start shoveling, snap the pull handle onto the tube. This keeps the probe in place and out of your way.
For maintenance, after each use, wipe the probe clean to remove any snow or dirt. Check the tension cord and the locking system regularly to make sure they're working properly. Store the probe in a dry place to prevent the aluminum tubes from rusting or getting damaged. Remember, a well - maintained probe is ready to save lives when you need it most.
