Skiers Requesting Settings not
Recommended by
TYROLIA
The 2004/05 TYROLIA Release/Retention Adjustment
Table is the only adjustment chart recommended
for use by TYROLIA dealers during the
2004/05 season.
Some skiers may request settings different from
those in the TYROLIA Release/Retention Adjustment
Table. Most of these concerns can be addressed
by following the procedures for reclassifying
skier type and for trouble-shooting which follow
the instructions for using the TYROLIA Release/
Retention Adjustment Table.
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.
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
TYROLIA Release/Retention Adjustment Table
and instruct the skier on how to change the
setting (if this 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 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
work-shop or rental form.
