WARNING!
Skiing is inherently dangerous. Understand and accept the risks involved before
participating. You are responsible for your own actions and decisions. Exercise good
and prudent judgment when skiing. Ski boots when used in conjunction with a ski-
boot-binding system may contribute to the risk of injuries to the lower leg and the knee.
We cannot guarantee that in situations of extreme danger of injury or death that the
ski-boot-binding system will release. Use of a ski boot in conjunction with a ski-boot-
binding system cannot guarantee a skier’s safety or freedom from injury while skiing.
Use the ski boots and any ski-boot-binding system at your own risk. Before using this
product: 1) read and understand all instructions and warnings that accompany it, 2) get
proper training in the use of ski-boot-bindings systems equipment, and 3) learn proper

skiing techniques. Failure to read or follow any of these warnings can result in severe
injury, paralysis or death.
We recommend that all ski boot fitting and all boot-binding adjustments be performed
at specialized ski shops by certified professional ski technicians. Improper ski boot fitting
and/or improper boot-binding adjustments can impair the boot-binding function and
lead to avoidable injuries. If you choose to do any of this work yourself please read
all instructions found in this Owner’s Manual slowly, carefully and thoroughly before
proceeding. In this case, La Sportiva cannot assume any responsibility for damage to the
ski boots or for any injury incurred by the skier.

1. SKI/WALK MECHANISM
The brand new ski/walk mechanism with CavoBike Lever Pro™ Technology rotates by
180° for a perfect freedom of movement and doesn’t need any kind of regulation. Any
alteration of the mechanism is highly discouraged.
In the event of ice building
up on the mechanism and
thus preventing its proper
functioning, make sure that
the first lever on the tibia is
open and then gently pull the
hook manually, both in the
closing and opening positions,
in order to restore the system’s
correct performance.

AVVERTENZE!
Lo sci è uno sport potenzialmente pericoloso. Conoscere e accettare i rischi prima
di intraprendere l’attività sciistica è fondamentale. Sciate con giudizio e rispettando
le norme di sicurezza. L’utilizzo di uno scarpone in combinazione a un attacco non
può garantire la sicurezza di uno sciatore o eliminare il rischio durante l’attività.
Prima dell’utilizzo di questo prodotto: 1) Leggere attentamente tutte le istruzioni e
avvertenze 2) imparare a utilizzare correttamente il sistema di aggancio degli attacchi
3) imparare le tecniche dello sci alpinismo. In caso contrario si potrebbero rischiare
incidenti importanti. Consigliamo che le regolazioni dell’attrezzatura sciistica vengano
effettuate presso dei centri specializzati. Se scegliete di effettuare le modifiche per
conto proprio vi chiediamo di leggere attentamente tutte le informazioni contenute
nel manuale utenti.

1. MECCANISMO SKI/WALK E INCLINAZIONE
Il nuovo sistema ski/walk con tecnologia CavoBike Lever Pro™ ruota di 180° e permette
il ribaltamento totale dell’uncino per la massima libertà di movimento e non richiede
nessun intervento specifico di regolazione. Ogni manomissione del meccanismo è
fortemente sconsigliata e si consiglia di rivolgersi comunque al proprio negoziante.
Nell’eventualità in cui si formi
del ghiaccio sul meccanismo
impendendone il corretto
funzionamento, assicurarsi che
la prima leva sulla tibia sia
aperta e, in seguito, azionare
delicatamente l’uncino in
maniera manuale sia in chiusura
che in apertura, per ripristinare
il corretto funzionamento del
sistema.
