Technical Manual - Tyrolia

If the intersection of the row and column falls
in a blank box, do not move up or down the
chart. Move sideways on the same row to the
nearest box showing a visual indicator setting.
5. This value should be recorded on the workshop
form under Initial Indicator Settings.
Mechanical System Testing
1. Adjust the bindings toe and heel indicators to
the Initial Indicator Setting.
2. Use a calibrated torque measuring device
according to the instructions provided by the
supplier.
3. Exercise that binding by release it at least
once in all direction.
4. Three tests are required in each direction.
The middle quantitative value of the three
releases should be used as the test result.
5. Using the previously determined Skier Code
slide across the chart to the column representing
twist torque reference values.
6. If the test result is within one torque value
above to one torque value below the reference
value, it is in the Inspection Range.
These results are acceptable and no further
adjustment is necessary.
7. If the test result is within two torque values
above to two torque values below the reference
value, it is in the In-Use Range.
The indicator value should be readjusted and
the system retested so that it falls in the Inspection
Range. Record the corrected indicator
value in the box for final release/retention
settings.
8. If the test result value falls out of the In-Use
Range the system should be thoroughly inspected
for the following:
1. Correct forward pressure
2. Correct Sole-hold down adjustment
3. Worn or contaminated AFD’s
4. Out of standard boot soles
No work can be performed on the system
until these problems are corrected.
9. Check the heel for forward lean the same
way, determining the middle quantitative
value of three vertical releases. Adjust if necessary.
10. Record final indicator settings on the workshop
form in the area for final release/retention
settings.

CONTENTS
Type I Skiers
• Cautious skiing on smooth slopes of gentle to
moderate pitch.
Skiers who designate themselves as Type I
receive lower that average release/retention
settings. This corresponds to an increased risk
of inadvertent binding release in order to gain
releaseability in a fall. This type also applies to
entry-level skiers incertain of their classification.
Type II Skiers
• Skiers not classified as Type I or Type III.
Skiers who designate themselves as Type II
receive average release/retention settings
appropriate for most recreational skiing.
Type III Skiers
• Fast skiing on slopes of moderate to steep
pitch.
SERVICE/ 65
Skiers who designate themselves as Type III
receive higher than average release/retention
settings. This corresponds to decreased
releasability in a fall in order gain a decreased
risk of inadvertent binding release.
Note:
If the skier reports release/retention problems
see the chapter “trouble shooting release/
retention problems”, page 66 in the manual.
Skiers who desire release/retention settings
lower than Type I may designate themselves (I-).
Type I- -Move up the table one skier code.
Skiers who desire release/retention settings
higher than Type III may designate themselves
(III+). Type III+ -Move down the table three skier
codes.
Skiers may select skier type designations that are
different for twist and forward lean. In such a
case, the selection shall be indicated by a slash
separating twist and forward lean selections, in
that order ( for example, K/L, K for the toe and L
for the heel.
