Touring:

  • Flip heel brake locker forward from SKI to WALK to lock up brakes
  • Flip toe unit lever from SKI to WALK to open toe pins
  • Press and hold down on front plastic lever to spread the pins
  • Center your boot and release lever, ensuring pins grab both boot pin holes
  • Pull front plastic lever up to lock pins on
  • Flip single climbing riser bar up as needed

Skiing:

  • Press down on front plastic lever to release boot
  • Flip toe unit lever from WALK  to SKI
  • Flip heel unit lever from WALK to SKI
  • Step in like any traditional alpine binding- toe lug under toe piece, press down on opened heel
  • Press down on heel lever with ski pole to exit binding

Adjustment:

  • Boot sole adjustment of 3cm, use Philips posi #3 bit in lowest rear screw
  • Forward pressure indicator is the raised steel dash mark aligning the the plastic notch above the adjustment work drive screw
  • Toe release value setting is adjustable via posi #3 bit in the front of the toe unit
  • Heel release value is adjustable with heel engaged in the up ski position with posi #3 bit
  • Anti friction plate must be just barely tight to the undersole of the front of the boot. Adjust up and down with posi #3 on the side of the AFD area.

Binding Specifics:

  • The AFD plate can be tricky to adjust
    • Ensure the top of the toe lug is touching the bottom side of the very top part of the toe piece - often the boot can hang up on the rolling parts and therefore set up too loose
    • For flat Alpine boot soles, the AFD plate will be awkwardly high at a near 45 degree angle
    • The AFD adjustment has been known to back down - check periodically
  • Icing and snow build-up in the climbing aid and brake locking mechanism can cause brakes to drop or not lock up - keep this clear
  • Release is fully DIN certified, making this the only pin touring binding with DIN release values
