• Forward release is adjusted with posi drive #3 bit on top screw of heel unit

Binding Specifics:

• Snow and ice buildup is possible under the toe springs if the bindings are open and skis are on a backpack after touring in wet snow. Clear this area with ski pole tip and open and closing. Lock then unlock to check if binding is fully clamping the boot.
• Only adjust the forward pressure with binding flipped into ski position. The worm drive track and be damaged going too far forward.
• Forward pressure adjustment should be adjusted to each click, not in between
• Inspect the carbon track between WALK/SKI lever and heel unit for cracks
