5. Heel height and wear: Check this boot standard with<br />
the same procedure used for the toe. The heel posts<br />
(A 3) + (C 3) are located at the rear of the device<br />
(see pict 82).<br />
6. The marks “A/C” help to select a “Child” boot from an<br />
“Adult” by indicating the standardized sole width.<br />

NOTE:<br />
Any boot which passes points 3, 4 and 5, as well as<br />
conforming to the Visual Inspection Checklist, may be<br />
accepted for use with TYROLIA bindings.<br />
Boots which fail any point should be repaired or replaced.<br />
These checks apply only to boots used with TYROLIA<br />
bindings. Consult other binding manufacturers for their<br />
used boot specifications.<br />

CLEAN VS. LUBRICATED SKI<br />
BOOT TEST<br />
This test is designed to determine the influence of a given<br />
boot on the release characteristic of a binding. It should<br />
be performed on boots not meeting all the points of the<br />
HEAD/TYROLIA boot visual inspection criteria, or if measured<br />
release values fall outside the system “inspection”<br />
tolerance. It is seen as the “last chance” for a boot to<br />
qualify before getting eliminated from inventory.<br />
1. Clean the boot(s) to be tested with soap and water.<br />
Allow to dry.<br />
2. Select an appropriate HEAD/TYROLIA “reference”<br />
binding that has displayed release values within the<br />
inspection tolerance on the TYROLIA Adjustment Chart.<br />
Clean the binding’s boot contact surfaces with soap<br />
and water and allow to dry.<br />
3. Test the binding and boot in Twist and Forward Lean<br />
at a mid-scale indicator value (Only one direction of<br />
twist is required).<br />
4. In a further test run lubricate all boot/binding contact<br />
areas with soapy water. Retest in Twist and Forward<br />
Lean.<br />
5. Results of each lubricated test should be within 20%<br />
of the corresponding results when tested clean. Any<br />
boot which fails this test should not be used with a<br />
HEAD/TYROLIA binding.
