TECHNICAL MANUAL - Tyrolia

USE OF NON-RECOMMENDED
SETTINGS
SKIERS REQUESTING SETTINGS
NOT RECOMMENDED BY HEAD/
TYROLIA
The 08.09 HEAD/TYROLIA Release/Retention Adjustment
Table is the only adjustment chart recommended for use
by HEAD/TYROLIA dealers during the 08.09 season.
Some skiers may request settings different from those in
the HEAD/TYROLIA Release/Retention Adjustment Table.
Most of these concerns can be addressed by following the
procedures for reclassifying skier type and for troubleshooting
which follow the instructions for using the HEAD/TYROLIA
Release/Retention Adjustment Table.
HEAD/TYROLIA and the ISO/ASTM standards organizations
do not recommend the use of release/retention settings
outside of these tolerances, but skiers occasionally may
request such settings. HEAD/TYROLIA recognizes a skier’s
right to choose other settings, but if the skier requests
settings outside of those derived from the normal procedures
for re-classifying skier type and for troubleshooting,
the shop may either:
1. Adjust the system to the setting derived from HEAD/
TYROLIA Release/Retention Adjustment Table and
instruct the skier on how to change the setting (if this
is done, make a note to this effect on the workshop or
rental form), or
2. Adjust the system to the skier’s individual request, but
only if the technician notes on the workshop or rental
form the reason the higher or lower setting was requested.
Do not in any case adjust the system to a release/retention
value higher than the maximum acceptable setting
at the bottom of the HEAD/TYROLIA Release/Retention
Adjustment Table. The customer must verify the request
for the higher or lower settings by signing and dating
the workshop or rental form by the reason noted next
to the setting request. The skier must also read and sign
a warning, release and indemnity agreement identical to
the one printed on this page. In such cases, the system
will only be indemnified if all other conditions of indemnification
are met and the signed warning, release and
indemnity agreement are attached to the completed
workshop or rental form.
