GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE. On the website www.climbingtechnology.
com you can find: additional information, other languages and/or the updated
versions of the instructions for use, Declarations of Conformity EU.
1) TRAINING AND PHYSICAL FITNESs. Activities related to the use of device
are potentially dangerous and it must only be used by trained and experienced
persons. Before using the device, it is essential to: have received adequate training
and instruction and, where required, specific training for the use of the devices; be
familiar with the device; be in perfect psycho-physical shape. Warning! Consump-
tion of alcohol or psychotropics, including medication that may alter perception,
balance and concentration, is to be avoided.
2) WARNINGS BEFORE USE. Before usage: read carefully the general and specif-
ic instructions that must compulsorily accompany every device and ensure that you
fully understand them; ensure that all equipment is in perfect operating conditions,
that it is appropriate for the intended use and that all the elements and components
are compatible with each other and comply with the rules, regulations and direc-
tives currently in place; check that the system is assembled correctly and that the
various components work without interfering with one another. Warning! Always
check that any ropes used are compatible with the system: in fact, some ropes can
slide more or less depending on different factors (sheath structure, surface treat-
ments, inadequate diameter, wet or frozen ropes). Warning! Do not use a device
for activities that exceed its limitations or for uses that are different to those intend-
ed! Each individual is responsible for his/her own choices and actions: anyone
who is not capable of assuming this responsibility must not use these devices under
any circumstances. The responsibility of the manufacturer is limited defectiveness
related to manufacturing and the materials used. Warning! Equipping oneself with
individual protection devices does not justify exposing oneself to risks that are po-
tentially lethal. Warning! There are many incorrect or erroneous usage procedures
and only the procedures indicated as correct are allowed: all other possible usage
procedures must be considered forbidden.
3) DEVICES FOR PERSONAL USE. Each device is to be considered strictly for
personal use. if it should be used by a second user, carry out a check of the device
before and after usage and, where required, take note of the relevant data and in-
formation on the appropriate form. Warning! Never use a device whose complete
history is unknown to you or that does not have the correct documents (instructions
for use, any checking forms, etc.).
4) MARKING. The indications on the device can appear in different places de-
pending on the dimension of the device. Warning! Do not remove labels or mark-
ings and check that these are all legible even after use.
5) LIFE SPAN. It is difficult to predetermine with accuracy the real lifespan of a de-
vice because it is influenced by several factors (environment in which the equipment
is used, climatic factors, storage conditions, frequency and intensity of use, etc.).
Nevertheless, it is possible to estimate the device's maximum lifespan, consisting
of an initial period of optimal storage and a period of use. For textile and plastic
products, the maximum lifespan is 12 years from the date of manufacture, of which
no more than 10 years from the date of the first use. The maximum life span of
metallic products is theoretically indefinite, but it is still advisable to replace them
after 10 years of use. Warning! The life span of a device can be limited even to
just one use, where it is involved in an exceptional event (hard falls or swinging
falls, extreme temperatures, contact with harmful chemical agents or sharp edges,
etc.). In case of doubts on the functioning and good conservation state of a device,
do not use it and contact immediately your reference person of safety matters or
the manufacturer.
6) ELIMINATION. Stop using the device immediately: if the maximum life span
has been exceeded; if it is obsolete, incompatible with more modern devices or
outclassed due to standards' updates; if the result of the checks is not satisfactory; if
you are not certain that the device is in a good condition; if it has been exposed to
an exceptional event or a hard fall: even if there is no visible defect or degradation,
its initial strength and resistance could be seriously diminished. Warning! Destroy
discarded products to avoid any further use.
7) DISPOSAL. At the end of the lifespan of the equipment, i.e. at the end of its
working life, it is compulsory to take care of its disposal, taking into account the
potential impact on the environment. For this purpose it is recommended that the
products are disposed of in accordance with the laws in force in the country where
the disposal is taking place.
8) TAMPERING AND REPAIRS. Any alteration or tampering immediately voids the
guarantee, and is forbidden as it can compromise the safety of the device itself.
Repairs, where feasible, must be carried out exclusively by the manufacturer or by
staff that has been expressly authorised to do so by the manufacturer.
9) LUBRICATION. If needed, lubricate any mobile parts of the metal devices using
only silicone based oil spray. Warning! An excessive quantity of oil encourages
dirt and dust to stick. Remove any excess oil using a cloth. Warning! Check that the
lubrication does not compromise the interaction between the device and the other
components of the system (e.g. ropes).
10) MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING. Avoid contact with sources of heat, abra-
sive and sharp objects, corrosive substances or solvents. Hand wash in warm

water (maximum temperature: 30°C) with neutral soap. To disinfect, use a dilute
ammonia solution according to the safety instructions provided with the product.
After washing, or in the case of damp or wet equipment, leave to dry in the open
air away from direct sources of heat.
11) STORAGE AND TRANSPORT. For optimal storage, put away the devices com-
pletely dry at room temperature in well ventilated areas. Do not expose the devices
to chemically aggressive substances, persistent dusts or dirt or environments with
high concentrations of salt. During transport, avoid compressions, exposure to di-
rect sunlight and contact with sharp objects. Do not leave the devices in the car or
in closed environments that are exposed to the sun.
12) GUARANTEE. The guarantee is valid for 2 years as from the purchase date
and covers for any manufacturing defect or defect in the materials used. The fol-
lowing are excluded from the guarantee: normal wear, inadequate maintenance
and storage, incorrect or improper usage, unauthorised tampering or repairs, lack
of observance of the instructions for use. The manufacturer declines all liabilities
concerning the direct, indirect or accidental consequences, including any conse-
quence that derives from the incorrect use of the devices, including correct use of
the device in unsuitable situations that do not ensure proper safety levels. For the
user safety it is essential that the retailer provides the devices instruction for use,
maintenance, repair and periodic check in the language of the country where
they will be used, whenever the devices are sold outside of the original country of
destination.
SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS.
This note contains the necessary information for the correct use of the anti-slip Ice
Traction+ crampons designed for hiking, urban trails, running, hunting and forestry
work. The Ice Traction+ crampons are equipped with a silicon band for ease when
putting them on and stainless steel points and chains that minimalize the accumula-
tion of snow under your shoes.
0) FIELD OF APPLICATION. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): anti-slip cram-
pons for walking on snow and slippery or icy ground. This equipment has been
designed and manufactured to meet the essential safety requirements laid down
by Regulation (EU) 2016/425 Category II. These devices have been designed to
provide anti-slip foot protection, to improve stability and traction over flat or slightly
inclined surfaces (less than 20° incline): icy, snowy, muddy, slippery grounds or
wet grassland. Attention! These devices do not completely eliminate the risk of foot
slippage. This equipment is not suitable for walking on hard grounds or ground
covered with stones and rocks because on such surfaces the risk of slipping is not
reduced. Caution! Do not use the equipment for mountaineering or ice climbing.
1) NOMENCLATURE. 1) Silicon band. 2) Stainless steel chains. 3) Stainless steel
points. 4) Fastening Velcro strap.

3) CHECKS. Before every use, check: that the silicon band in undamaged and
does not have any cuts, abrasions or burns present; metal parts show no signs of
wear, cracks, corrosion or deformation; chain links are not detached or open; the
height of the points, due to wear, is not less than 80% of their initial height; that
you are correctly wearing the crampons and that they are suitable for the terrain
that you have to deal with. During every use: always check the correct positioning
of the crampons on your shoes. Attention! Pay attention to the sharp points before,
during and after use.
4) WARNINGS. The device has been designed to be used in weather conditions
that can normally be withstood by humans (temperature of use within -50°C and
+40°C). All the materials and treatments are hypoallergenic and do not cause skin
irritation or sensitivity.
5) INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE. Remove the crampons from their case, identify the
front parts (marked FRONT) and unfasten the Velcro strap: there is no difference
between the right and left crampon (Fig. 1). Ensure that you have a good stability
and where possible, sit down. Fit the front part (marked FRONT) over the tip of the
shoe (Fig. 2). Widen the silicon band with both hands, pull the back part (marked
BACK) until it is engaged around the heal of the shoe. (Fig. 3). Close the Velcro
strap as shown (Fig. 4). Attention! When a child uses the equipment, the supervi-
sion of a responsible adult is essential.
5.1 - Testing the installation. Only a correct installation and choosing the correct
size can ensure the equipment will work as expected. The indicated sizes on the
product is approximate and depends on the shape of the footwear used. If the size
of the crampons is correct and if the installation of the crampon onto the footwear
was carried out correctly, the chains will be fairly taut without leaving areas neither
too loose or too tight. Attention! It is recommended that you verify the compatibility
and the correct fitting of the crampons in a state of adequate stability, before the
actual usage.
6) MAINTENANCE. Store the crampons in their own canvas case, in a dry and
ventilated area away from sources of heat or direct sunlight. Do not leave the
crampons in the car, especially in the summer months. Only clean the crampons by
rinsing them with clean water and neutral soap. Dry the crampons and their carry
case thoroughly after every use and before storing them away.
