  • - skis;
  • - set of semifixed bindings;
  • - pencil;
  • - screw-driver;
  • - pricker;
  • - drill;
  • - epoxy glue or BF glue.

Instruction

1. Find the ski center of gravity. For this purpose put the ski on the edge of the ruler or on the screw-driver and counterbalance it. Note the center of gravity of both skis, having drawn lines the pencil.

2. Establish the binding plate on the ski so that its front end was on noted line of the center of gravity, and its longitudinal axis of symmetry coincided with the symmetry axis on the ski. Establish the bracket under the plate. In the set of bindings two brackets with the mark of "L" and "PR" - everyone under the plate.

3. Holding the bracket with the hand, fix the plate to the ski by the screws which are included in the package of bindings. Establish in the same way the plate and the bracket on the second ski.

4. If your skis plastic (or semi-plastic), before installation of plates of semifixed bindings at first plan openings by means of the pricker. Then drill openings under screws the drill of suitable diameter. Fill in them with epoxy glue or BF glue and only then establish bindings.

5. Put on belts on the established plates. Adjust by means of buckles length of belts in size of the footwear chosen by you for ski walks.

6. Establish cables which have to fix footwear. For this purpose put the boot in the binding, dress the spring on the boot back. Fix the cable in side brackets. Set the lock bracket to the vertical position.

7. Put on the spring the lock bracket. Attach the lock on the ski by means of screws. Adjust spring tension force. Establish in the same way the fixing cable on the binding of the second ski.
