Pre-Season Binding Inspections<br />

Adjustment<br />

The purpose of pre-season binding inspections is to ensure<br />

that all components are functioning properly. Start by preselecting<br />

several samples representative of your rental boot<br />

inventory. These samples must pass all visual inspections<br />

(see Final Checking) and should be clean. Select sample<br />

boot sole length according to the Pre-Season Inspection<br />

Table (see previous page).<br />

Make all appropriate binding-to-boot adjustments. If there<br />

are any preset or Synchro binding adjustments, verify<br />

their accuracy. It is suggested that the indicator of each<br />

binding component be set according to the Pre-Season<br />

Inspection Table.<br />

All used bindings should be cleaned and lubricated before<br />

performing the following inspections:<br />

• Test for Lateral Elastic Travel and Return.<br />

• Test for Vertical Elastic Travel and Return.<br />

• Verification That Release Values are Within<br />

Specified Range.<br />

Pre-Season Boot Inspections<br />

Adjustment<br />

Pre-season boot inspections verify that boots in inventory<br />

can be used interchangeably with all appropriate bindings.<br />

Visually inspect all boots for compatibility and interchangeability<br />

according to criteria listed on Preparation &<br />

Installation. Correct any boot compatibility defect(s) that<br />

are found. If the defect cannot be corrected, the boot<br />

must be removed from inventory.<br />

Used Boots<br />

A random sample of 5% (not less than 16 nor more than 80<br />

units) of inventory must be tested according to the following<br />

procedures. The sample should include one boot typical of<br />

each boot cell (a boot cell is defined as all boots of the<br />

same make, model, year of manufacture and sole length).<br />

• Select two skis with bindings of the same model.<br />

• Adjust both bindings to release at their mid-range<br />

“Reference Value” of the appropriate “Visual Indicator<br />

Setting” using a mechanical testing device with a typical<br />

boot in good condition of the appropriate Sample Boot<br />

Sole Length.<br />

• Clean both bindings with mild dish washing soap and<br />

water at all boot interface (contact) points and wipe<br />

them dry.<br />

• Label one binding “clean.”<br />

RENTAL & DEMO MOUNTING<br />

PRE-SEASON INSPECTIONS<br />

Note: Any binding component that tests outside the<br />

“Inspection Range” should be inspected and re-tested.<br />

If the new results are still outside the “Inspection Range,”<br />

but within the “In-Use Range,” a correction factor* must<br />

be applied to bring the mechanical test results within the<br />

“Inspection Range.”<br />

For any binding component that tests outside of the “In-use<br />

Range” refer to Troubleshooting.<br />

• Apply a thin film of mild dish washing soap to all<br />

boot interface points of the other binding and label<br />

it “lubricated.”<br />

• Using a mechanical testing device, measure and record<br />

the twist test result (clockwise or counterclockwise) in<br />

one direction only and the forward lean test result of<br />

the random sample boot in the “clean” binding.<br />

• Measure and record the twist test result in both<br />

directions and the forward lean test result of the<br />

random sample boot in the “lubricated” binding.<br />

• The test results of the lubricated test must be within<br />

the "Inspection Range" for the appropriate setting.<br />

• The test results for the clean test must be within the<br />

“Clean 25%” range for the appropriate setting.<br />

• If either the clean or lubricated test results fall outside<br />

the acceptable ranges, re-inspect the boot, correct the<br />

defect, and re-test the boot. Remove from inventory any<br />

boot that does not pass both tests. Re-inspect, repair (if<br />

necessary) and test all suspect boots of the affected cell.<br />

New or Unused Boots<br />

A single unit random sample typical of each boot cell (boots<br />

of the same make, model, year of manufacture and sole<br />

length) must be tested according to procedures used for<br />

testing in the Used Boots section.<br />

* A correction factor is determined by<br />

adjusting the binding component’s visual<br />

indicator scale at half-setting intervals to<br />

bring the binding component’s test result<br />

to within the “Inspection Range.” This<br />

correction factor must then be placed<br />

on the ski next to the affected binding<br />

component (toe/heel) and recorded in<br />

your ski/binding maintenance records.<br />
