SPECIFIC INFORMATION
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Selection of the crampons
These crampons are developed for use on snow in ski-mountaineering activities, for protection against the risk of
sliding. The sole of the boots must be rigid, with toe and heel lugs ( fig.1 ). The front step must have a height off
the ground as indicated in fig.1 .
Fixing crampons on boots
T-stop adjustment system
Adapt the height of the step height stop ( fig.2a ), insert the nut in the stop and tighten the screw with the included Torx
key until the start of the nut rotation. Pay attention to the stop mounting direction ( fig.2b ).
Length adjustment with rod
To switch from the L size to the S size, see
fig.3-5 (size S from 210 to 260 mm or size L from 260 mm to 330 mm).
There is a double line of holes on the central rod. The most suitable position can be selected by loosening and tightening
the screw (
fig.6a ) or lifting and slightly turning the spring ( fig.6b ). Adjust the length of the crampon, aligning it with the
length of the boot so that the rear tips of the heel do not protrude from the profile created by the sole of the heel, but that
they follow the same form or stay slightly inside it; (
fig.7a ). For the Total Race model, check the position of the heel with
the system inserted ( fig.7b ).
Tail adjustment
Carry out the adjustment choosing one of the two holes located on the side on the heel (
fig.8 ) and adjusting the height of
the tail to one of the 3 positions ( fig.9 ). To do this, you must loosen the tape sling, lift the safety plate and select the
desired position. If the adjustment has been carried out correctly, the closing of the tail will require some effort ( fig.10 ).
Fasten the anchor tape sling around the ankle as illustrated in fig.11 .
Points sharpening
Sharpen the points with a file as illustrated in ( fig.12 ). Do not use a grinder which, heating the material, risks modifying
its mechanical properties.
Optional accessories
Dyneema adjustment tape sling (ref. 2596)
For installation of the tape sling, follow these instructions:
1. on the Tour and Nanotech models, take care to position the spring laterally ( fig.13a ), whereas on the Total Race and
Race models, remove the screw ( fig.13b ),
2. remove the metallic rod and the heel antibott,
3. position the stitched part of the tape sling correctly inside the heel (
fig.14a ),
4. remove the front binding antibott, pass the tape sling through the front binding and insert it in the specific buckle
( fig.14b ),
5. mount the crampon on the boot, adjust the length and pass the tape sling back inside, first through the buckle and
then the front binding ( fig.14c ),
6. correct adjustment requires the same attention that is illustrated in the adjustment with the rod ( fig.7 ),
7. make sure that the end part of the strap is not longer than 2cm: in this case the excess shall be cut with a hot blade
( fig.14c ).
Check the tension of the tape sling during the first use.
Semi-automatic front hook (ref. 2589)
In the case of a boot without front step, remove the stop and apply the lacing as illustrated in
fig.15 .
