For beginners in alpine skiing, adjusting the ski mounts is a particular difficulty. The mounts are designed to ensure a reliable connection between the boot and the ski within the limit of permissible loads. At the mount, you can adjust two parameters - the clearance of the fixing jaws and the force of shooting. This is quite easy to do, all you need to do is follow these instructions.
Instructions
Step 1
Shooting force. This is the ultimate load on the binding, when exceeded, it unfastens the boot. For adjustment, use the scales located at the front and rear of the mount. Each number on the scale represents 10 kilograms. Usually set in such a way that the effort is less than the weight of the skier by about 10-20 kilograms. First, it is recommended to start with an effort of 30-40 kilograms, and then move on to increasing it.
Step 2
Different force settings are used for the heel and toe. If you are a beginner, then at the initial stage you need to configure them the same way until you have your own understanding of the settings and your individual technique is formed. You should not listen to the "Guru", they may have their own preferences, as a result of which you can get injured.
Step 3
Clearance of the fixing jaws. This setting is not found on all mounts. The setting of the gap of the fixing jaws is intended so that when grinding the boot it is possible to adjust the fixation of the reduced last in the mounts. Again, if you are a beginner, then you should not even touch this gap, since in most cases it is already configured for standard bots.
