ADJUST DIRECT CONTACT BINDING ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1 - Measurements
- Look at your ski manufacturer settings chart to find out where the back of your Reflex hardshell boot should be located (AKA boot positioning).
- Place your Reflex hardshell boot on the ski
- Measure from the back of your ski to the heel of your boot
- Adjust it to meet the desired measurement
STEP 2 - Adjustments
- While maintaining your boot from one hand, add the rear part (the two stainless steel arms with the release mechanism already mounted) until the release mechanism body can sit on the boot’s cleat (like when the release mechanism is closed).
- While maintaining one stainless steel arm at a time, add the micro adjuster system as shown in the above scheme and screw it in not too tight at first to mount the other side easily. Use one of the four longest screws provided.
- Screw the other side following the same process.
- Measure if both micro adjusters are at the same distance and adjust if needed, as shown in the video.
STEP 3 - Positions
- If needed, re-position the boot so the release mechanism sits on the boot’s cleat.
- Slide the toe cup arms under the plate arms. Do not try to squeeze the boot, but gently push until you can’t go further. Now, while still maintaining the toe cup, count the number of holes until you see your ski inserts (both sides must be the same)
- Remove the boot and use two of the longest screws provided & screw the toe cup one hole tighter than the number you found out previously. For Example, if you counted 5 holes to find your ski inserts, you need to screw the toe cup at hole #6. Do not tighten the first screw too much to be able to screw the other side easily.
- Once all screws are mildly screwed, you must tighten them again, but only with your finger's strength, not your fist's strength.
- Screw the two front-toe cup screws as shown in video.
STEP 4 - Check your System
- Double-check. Add your boot to the system and try to close the release mechanism. You should not have any movement once it is closed, but you should still be able to close the mechanism as easily as on a regular plate system.
- If it’s too tight, you won’t be able to close the mechanism, or it will be very hard.
- If it’s too loose, once the mechanism is closed, you will see movements when pushing the mechanism up and down and side (without opening it). You should not be able to do so.
