G3 ZED Installation & Operating Instructions

ZED BRAKES
INSTALLATION
& OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Important Warnings
a. The release setting requires a specialized understanding of multiple factors. Adjustments to release settings should
only be made by an authorized dealer. Any improper adjustment of release setting by any unauthorized person will
put the skier at risk of injury and void the warranty.
b. Any custom modifications to the binding will invalidate the warranty, and could put the skier at risk of injury.
c. Prior to each use the binding should be checked for any broken parts, correct release function, and contamination. If
anything is defective or broken please return the binding to an authorized dealer for service.
d. Since skiing has inherent risks, do not overestimate your ability when describing your skiing level to the authorized
dealer who will set your release setting. If in doubt, underestimate your ability, and return to the authorized dealer to
have an increase in retention made.
e. Skiing the G3 ZED binding without a ski brake or a ski leash can put others at risk, as well as risk the loss of the ski
and binding. A ski brake alone is not sufficient to protect against the loss of a ski in deep snow. The use of a ski leash
is not recommended in avalanche terrain.
f. Ski touring is a demanding sport in which environmental conditions and terrain can change quickly and be hazardous.
Obtain proper training and rescue equipment before ski touring, and don't overestimate your abilities. Always make
use of all available weather and avalanche condition information prior to touring. Never ski tour under the influence of
any drug or mind changing substance.
g. Never ski tour alone.
h. Due to the exposure to environmental conditions that are common during ski touring (ice, snow, water, dirt) the
release setting may change. Extended or incorrect storage can also affect release setting. At the start of each
season, the release setting should be checked using specialized equipment at an authorized dealer.
i. Specialized alpine touring boots with "TECH" inserts are required for use with G3 ZED bindings. Any non compliant
boot or excessively worn "TECH" inserts can alter the release setting. The boot is an integral part of the release
system. The release setting should be checked using specialized equipment at an authorized dealer with the intended
boot(s) for use.
j. During transport, bindings can become contaminated with salt, dirt and other contaminants that can alter or impair
the release function. Cover your bindings during transport to reduce this risk.
k. Any unintended use of the binding will void the warranty, and could put people at risk.
l. Use only genuine G3 accessories for ZED bindings to ensure that the release setting or any other design feature is
not compromised.
Boot Compatibility
a. The ZED bindings are only compatible with alpine touring ski boots (ISO 9523) with Tech compatible inserts.
b. Bellowed touring boots or NTN type boots with TECH inserts are not currently supported; the flex creates an
unpredictable release environment.
