Operating instructions Safety Tech System
Introduction
Congratulations! By purchasing a Fritschi
Xenic 10
you have chosen a light and stable binding with
lateral and frontal release in the heel unit and active length compensation. Therefore a defined safety
release in any skiing is ensured.
The
Xenic
is only suited to be used for touring ski boots with Pin Tech inserts. Additionally the boot
must fulfil the standard DIN ISO 9523. The system boot–binding must be adjusted and the 4 items
have be checked by a specialist dealer.
Please read these operating instructions carefully before the first use and keep it in a safe place (war-
ranty certificate).
Safety instructions
Skiing and alpine touring come with unavoidable risks for any skier. Your binding is part of the unit com-
posed of ski, binding and boot. It is not possible to foresee for every situation whether the binding will
release or not. It does not always release under all circumstances, and this can result in serious injury
with incalculable consequences. No guarantee can be given that the skier will be safe from accidents
when it is used. Release bindings considerably reduce the risk of injuries in the area of the lower leg
and foot, but not fully. There is no reductive effect on injuries to other parts of the body.
You can influence your own safety when skiing:
• Always ski in a controlled manner and choose alpine tours and descents in accordance with your
skills and your physical fitness. Familiarize yourself with the snow and ski run conditions and any
obstacles before skiing
• Take heed of warning signs and instructions in the particularly ski area and mind strictly the avalanche and weather forecast.
• Avoid skiing when under the influence of medicines, alcohol or drugs.
• For optimal use of the binding, mounting, adjustment to the boot, the setting of the skiers DIN value and the service of the ski binding must be car-
ried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions by a specialist dealer. Improper mounting can impair the bindings function and lead to
avoidable injuries. We recommend having the DIN settings adjusted by the specialist dealer using a ski binding adjustment and testing equipment.
• If you have purchased this binding on the internet, a specialist dealer must mount and adjust the binding. If any mountings and settings have
been made by an unauthorised person, we will not be liable.
• Check your binding each time before use. If any parts are damaged or missing, it should not be used.
• Any alterations to the binding, improper mounting and adjustment or use with incompatible accessories, increase the risk of non-release or
defective release.
