Procedure
The Ski
• Mounting screws protruding
through the base.
• Delaminated sidewall. This
can be detected visually or
by running your fingers
along the sides of the ski.
• Binding baseplates not flush
with ski surface.
• Delaminated topskin.

The Complete System
Place the boot in the binding
and check the accuracy of:
• Toe height adjustment
(if applicable).
• Toe cup width adjustment (if
applicable).
• Central roller adjustment
(if applicable).
• Forward pressure
adjustment.
• Visual indicator settings.
• Symmetrical mounting of
bindings to ski center line
