Adjusting Ski Bindings

[Starter Jackets Rule!]

John 84....here is the deal
your Salomon C710's are a low end binder.
With that said Higher end binders have stronger springs in them.....translated it comes down to "RTF" (Return to Center Force), binders while skiing are allways "active" opening anc closingb and recentering the boot.
If they reach a certian point while opening and pass the limit of the "RTF" they will bail you out.
A high end binder with stronger springs Will keep you in longer due to slower spring rates(Sure a low end binder with let's say a din of "6" will have the same din values as a high end binder yet the "open/close" acations will hapen faster)....bla,bla,bla.....
John if you are not a certified binder tech. I am going to be so bold as to say this "Don't touch them"!

A cert tech will take info from you such as
Height
weight
age(over 50 and under age 9)
Skier type
boot sole length

once this info is collected we look up on a chart for your din.
Also whe "AFD" interface will be inspeced. if there are scraches more than 1 mm. the boot will be rejected.
Also the toe hight and heel hight will be inspeced.
worn too much Rejeced!

back to setting the din.
Place the cleaned boot into the binders toe and set the din on the toe,(also check the afd for scraches torn or missing pieces and replace) then set the din on the heel.
Click it in and then set the toe height(but not on your binder, it has an auto toe height adujster, as do most binders on the market).
Btw The "S" series toe hight will be 0-.5mm.(also the "toe Wings will have to be set) but not on the "C" series.
next set the forward pressure.
Cycle the binder by hand three times and check for any places it might be hanging up.
if it passes that inspection then a lipe/vt cal test will be preformed Three times (three times toe left and right, three times heel)
if it falls "IN range or "in Use range"
then ski it.
now thes tests are suggested numbers suplyer by the skier and there is no garntee that whey will hold you in or let you out if needed.
My advice to you is take it to your local shop and have them checked out...unless you don't give a $#1t about your safty, then have at it.....Peace out Paul Elliott
