The basis of ski safety is, of course, correctly adjusted bindings. It is they who must ensure your reliability while riding and have the correct connection between the boot and the ski. How to adjust the mounts of alpine skis will be discussed in this article.
Instructions
Step 1
Any ski bindings must be adjusted to suit your boots and your feet. For the ski mount to work properly, the boot should be pressed against the head with a certain force.
Step 2
Determine your shoe size (sole length). Find the given number on the mount. Typically, the number is on the side of the heel.
Step 3
Move the step lock to the desired mark so that the mark is in the small notch. In this case, the size should be set only when the boot is put on and inserted into the mount.
Step 4
Place the heel of the boot so that the heel is on the pedal of the open heel, touching the part that rests against the sole at the back, and the toe rested against the head of the fastening in the closed state if there is no corresponding indicator.
Step 5
The actuation of the fasteners is set with special adjusting screws and is measured in DIN units. It is best to adjust the actuation force with the help of a specialist (ski-master) or according to a special table. attached to the mount, independently. However, if such instructions are not at hand, you can use our recommendations.
Step 6
Divide your body weight by 10. Subtract 20%. Experienced skiers should not deduct a percentage, and older people should deduct 30%. Set the resulting figure on all four scales.
Step 7
Build up the force on the fastener while standing still. This is required for verification. If the skis fall or the boot moves in the bindings, add a little bit of force, about 1/4 divisions, until you feel stable.
