PETZL ECRIN ROC A01 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 3

ENGLISH
This helmet is designed to give the maximum protection possible
consistent with lightness and comfort. It gives head protection from
falling objects and from impacts against fixed objects.
You should know
Activities at height carry serious risk for the head. Wearing a helmet
reduces this risk substantially, and one should of course be worn.
Beyond the standard requirements, given blows of extreme violence,
the helmet plays its role by absorbing the maximum amount of energy
possible by deforming sometimes to the breaking-point.
Norm
This product conforms to the requirements of standards EN climbing
helmet and UIAA.
Important : Specific training is essential before use
Read this notice carefully before use. This technical notice illustrates
ways of using this product. Only the techniques shown are advised, all
other uses are excluded : danger of death. In case of doubt or problem
of understanding the use of this product, please contact Petzl.
Activities at height are dangerous activities which may lead to severe
injury or even death. Gaining an adequate apprenticeship in appropriate
techniques and methods of safety is your own responsibility.

this equipment.
Fitting

the right, adjust the nape strap by means of the adjuster on the left. The
chin strap is provided with a quick adjust buckle which may be adjusted
on or off the head.
Modifications
This helmet can be fitted with a Petzl lamp. Any modifications may
impair the effectiveness of the product and reduce the protection it
provides (strength, electrical insulation etc...). Avoid sharp projections
on the inside of the helmet (screws, rivets, etc) which could be
dangerous. You must not apply stickers or paint to the outside of the
product as their chemical components could in the long term affect the
physical properties of the product.

use. Do not hesitate to scrap a product showing signs of weakness.
After a heavy blow, it is essential to replace this product since its energy
absorption capacity will be reduced.
Major shock

no visible signs are possible, internal damage may have occurred, thus
reducing its strength and its margin of safety. Do not hesitate to contact
PETZL in case of doubt.
