PROPER PROCEDUREs Proper procedures to be used while mounting and adjusting AtomiC bindings are the following steps.

1. mounting bindings.

2. binding-to-boot adjustments.

3. Release value selection and adjustment.

4. final checking visual and mechanical inspections.

5. Skier instruction and warning.

Important: before drilling the ski, it is important to determine that the boot you are using will be compatible with the binding. only boots that conform with AStm, din (german industrial norm), or iSo (international Standard organization) boot sole standards should be used with AtomiC bindings. A boot sole must also be fl at and in good condition.

MOUNTING BINDINGs

1. Remove shrink wrap from skis.2. drill the skis using the appropriate jig and drill bit as shown in

the chart opposite. make sure that the jig is parallel to the ski during the entire drilling process (fig.1).

3. follow the ski and binding manufacturers mounting instructions closely.

It is necessary to use glue or Epoxy.

Mount ATOMIC Junior Bindings only on ATOMIC skis !!

sELECTING AND UsING THE JIG

the main function of a jig is to insure that all holes for mounting the binding are drilled in the correct location.

see chart to select the proper jig

1. Check that you have everything you need (the jig that corre-sponds to the binding, the right skis, the right boots).

2. open the locking lever.

3. open the jig by twisting both handles inward.Place the jig in the right direction on the ski.

4. Place the jig on the ski and make sure that the jig remains properly aligned to the ski during the entire drilling operation (fig.1).

- if the ski has a mid-sole mark, line up the mid-sole indicator on the jig with the mid-sole mark on the ski (fig.2).

- if the ski has a tip-of-the-boot mark, line up the tip-of-boot-sole indicator on the jig with the tip-of-boot mark on the ski.

- if the ski has no visible markings for jig location, consult the ski manufacturer for proper mounting position.

5. once the jig is well-positioned on the ski, it is important to ad-just the jig to the correct boot length to make sure the heel piece is in the proper position.

6. Place the boot on the jig in the right direction.

7. make sure the heel guide fi ts snugly against the boot heel.

8. Using the lever, lock the jig around the boot so it holds it without squeezing.

DRILLING

- whenever junior bindings are mounted on adult skis, there is an increased possibility for binding pull-out due to poor screw retention. the penetration depth of junior screws into the ski core is only 6 mm.

if necessary, use adult screws and drill bits to penetrate any mounting platform. (for bindings mounted with adult binding screws, the penetration depth is the same.)

- you must drill a hole deep enough to accommodate the screw length you are using or damage to the ski base may result.

GLUE

GLUE MUsT BE UsED WHEN INsERTING BINDING sCREWs TO:

- Lubricate the screw during insertion,- Create a watertight seal.Place a drop of glue on the surface of each hole.

2. Place the two metal tabs on the front of the brake into the slots in the heel base plate (photo A5).

3. Rotate the rear of the brake downwards to start the screw in the track.

4. tighten screws with a hand screwdriver (4 nm maximum) (photo A6).

Note: the brake can be removed to facilitate ski maintenance. to remove it: turn the center screw toward the left and remove the brake.

MOUNTING INsTRUCTION RENTAL

Rental visual and mechanical inspections. the Rental products are usually intended to remain under the control of the Certifi ed Ren-tal dealer. therefore, they can be shipped without instructions or individual packaging. However, if these products are in fact sold, you absolutely have to supply your customer with the appropriate instructions.

1. PREPARATION it is important to maintain consistent procedures when mounting any AtomiC binding. Any boot used with a AtomiC rental binding must be visually inspected for compatibility. the AtomiC Rental binding can be used with all standardized boots (Aftm, din, iSo) from all brands.

Caution: the toes mounted on the sliding plate are specific to REntAL products.

4.1. Position the rental jig4.2. then drill through the jigs proper bushings. follow the same

procedure as for retail bindings (drilling, tapping, glue)4.3. mount the premounted track assembly placing the sticker to-

ward the back of the ski4.4. mount the heel aligning the holes, and tighten the screws4.5. mount the brake according to the usual procedure4.6. to Position the toe piece: Place the toe, mounted on the sliding plate, in front of the

track and slide it until it stops. depress the manual adjustment button (located on the front of the toe) and slide the toe all the way back. Slide the indicator forward and clip it on the sliding plate either manually or with a fl at screwdriver.

4.7. to adjust the toe: Hold the toe and depress the manual toe adjustment button. the toe is free to move.

4.8. to take the toe off the track: Place the toe on the A position of the position indicator. Unclip the position indicator with a flat screw-driver depress the manual toe adjustment button; this way, the toe can slide forward off the track.

5. BINDING TO BOOT ADJUsTMENTs Position the boot in the toe piece.with one finger, simply lift the adjustment loop at the back of the heel and slide it forward until the binding cup contacts the boot heel.Release the loop, push boot down and check the forward pressure adjustment.to do this, you should see a little metal guide in the indicatorNote: if a correction is necessary, reopen the heel to move it and then re-check.

6. RELEAsE VALUE ADJUsTMENTAll AtomiC rental bindings must be adjusted by using the Adjustment chart!

7. RENTAL VIsUAL AND MECHANICAL INsPECTIONwhenever a binding looks particularly dirty or if visual inspection reveals that something may be wrong with the system, the sy-stem should be cleaned, lubricated and subjected to mechanical inspection.

fAT sKIs

Refer to the Spare Parts catalog to know which brakes to use according to the different ski widths and binding models.

use the following jigs to drill fat skis for atomic bindings:

- ref. Azd000070 for adult retail bindings

- ref. Azd000076 drilling template for the rental bindings ++ and +.

THE REVERsIBLE PADs ALLOW THE JIG TO ADAPT TO DIffERENT sKI WIDTHs (fIG. 5):

- put the thinner side of the pads on the inside of the jig to drill skis that are 98 - 124 mm wide (fig. 6a),

- put the thinner side of the pads on the out-side to drill skis that are 80 - 106 mm wide (fig. 6b),

- the pads should be mounted non symme-trically for skis that are 89-115 mm wide and allow the binding to be off-centered 4.5 mm laterally on the ski (fig. 6c).

PROCEDURE fOR CHANGING THE PADs TO THE OTHER sIDE:

1. Pull the pad off the arm of the jig.

2. Change the pad to the desired position.

3. insert the pad into the arm of the jig.

4. Repeat this procedure:

- on the other 3 arms for mounting the bindings symmetrically.

- on the other arm on the same side for a dissymmetrical mounting (fig. 7).

before drilling, make sure it is off-centered on the proper side of the ski.if so, reverse the positions of the 4 pads for drilling the other ski.

ADJUsTING ffG TEAM

once the binding has been mounted, it is necessary to make the proper binding-to-boot adjustments.

All Atomic bindings may be closed manually by simply lifting the heel lever. Adjustments must be re-checked every time boots are changed. Use the following procedure.

WING ADJUsTMENT

1. Manual adjustment (fig. A1): only one adjustment screw, which is located on the left side of the toe piece. - Place the boot in the binding (closed position). - Loosen the micrometric screws to loosen the wings. - Check that the tip of the boot sole is flush against the butt

plate (fig. A2). this contact is made when the boot has lateral play. do not over tighten, the boot may no longer be centered.

2. Automatic adjustment: the wings on the toe cup are self-adjusting.

TOE HEIGHT ADJUsTMENT

- with the boot in the binding, raise the toe by turning the adjust-ment screw, located on top of the toe piece, counter clockwise.

- Pull the boot back to create a gap between the boot sole and the binding Afd.

- Lower the toe height by turning the adjust-ment screw clockwise to obtain the recommended gap (see the following chart (fig. b1-b2).

- for models with automatic wing and automatic height adjustments: make forward pressure adjustment only. See instructions in following chapters.

Note: Always check the forward pressure after making toe adjust-ments.

fORWARD PREssURE ADJUsTMENT

With adjustment tab (fig. C1-C2-C3).

with the boot in the binding (closed position), make sure the ar-rows (fig. C2), on the adjustment tab or the extremity of the tab for the version without arrow (fig. C3) (range 09/10), line up within the scribed area at the end of the heel housing.

if this adjustment is incorrect, remove the boot from the binding, lift the adjustment tab using an Atomic adjustment tool to slide the heel into the desired position. Remove the screwdriver. Re-insert the boot to check the adjustment.

With screw adjustment ffG models (fig. D1).

with the boot in the binding (closed position), adjust the forward pressure to align the top of the head screw with the back of the heel track.

BOOT/BINDING COMPATIBILITY DIAGNOsIs

Clean vs lubricated test

1. determine the measured release value in the ski/boot/binding system without lubricant.

2. determine the measured release value in the ski/boot/binding system after lubricating all contact points between the boot and binding with a lubricant specified by the manufacturer. if nothing particular is specified, use soap and water.

3. Calculate the ratio between the two tests by dividing the result with the lubricant by the result without it.

4. if the quotient is above 1.2 or under 0.8, the system is consi-dered to be incompatible. if the boot test result is a satisfactory +/- 30%, but the binding does not release within the readjustment tolerance range, check the calibration of the adjustment machine. Have another technician redo the test. if the system still falls out-side the range, the binding should not be used.

sKIER INsTRUCTION AND WARNING

in principle an adjustment report is established by the ski shop and delivered to the user.

it shall at least contain the following information:

- skiers parameters,

- indicator value,

- measured value of mz and my, or pass/fail result of the system test. the exact content of the report and its delivery conditions are defined by the national standard organizations 11088.

Explanation of entry/exit/re-entry:

the proper use of the system (entry, exit and re-entry) should be explained using the skiers own system as an example.

Receipt of in-box instructions and warranty:

when a skier purchases a new binding, it is required that s(he) also receive the ins-tructional pamphlet included in each binding box.

INsPECTION TO KEEP YOUR RENTAL EQUIPMENT IN GOOD CONDITION WHILE MINIMIZING LIABILITY WE RECOMMEND THE fOL-LOW-ING PROGRAM:

RENTAL-TEsT PROCEDUREs

Since it is impractical to perform a full inspection each time a system is rented, a routine of preseason and inseason inspections has been developed to verify release indicator accuracy, confirm correct equipment function, and assure proper assembly and ad-justment procedures by the rental shop staff. fully implemented, the procedures that follow provide rental shop customers a standard of care equivalent to that provided retail shop customers under current iSo and AStm standards.

PREsEAsON INsPECTION Preseason inspections are performed on components of the re-lease system: bindings and boots. All rental bindings, new and used, are visually inspected, and then tested using specially selected Reference boots.bindings that fail go through a troubleshooting procedure to iden-tify and correct the deviation or malfunction. if this procedure does not correct the problem, the binding is removed from inventory. All rental boots, new and used, are visually inspected for damage, wear, contamination, broken or missing parts, or inferior materials at contact points with the binding. in addition, one boot per cell is tested for boots that are new to the rental inventory. A cell is all boots of the same make, model, age, and shell size. A random selection of 5% of all boots, previously accepted into inventory, is also tested. tests are performed with a test device and a pair of specially selected reference bindings. if a boot fails, all boots from that cell are then tested. boots that fail and cannot be repaired are removed from inventory.

INsEAsON Test inseason inspections are performed on complete rental systems to ensure that the equipment is adjusted appropriately and conti-nues to function correctly. typically 5% of the rental inventory is tested during each two weeks sampling period. the random sample is equally divided between equipment that is available for rental and equipment that has just been rented. the equipment in the as rented category is from real skiers in the condition in which it is either dispatched or returned, while the available for rental equipment may be set up for fictitious skiers. only single skis, not pairs, are tested, and testing at the toe is only required in one direction. A count is maintained of test results which exceed allowable limits. the magnitude and frequency of these deviations determines the frequency of future inspections. Shops which fail an inspection must sample daily until the source of the problem is found and corrected. then, as inspection results improve, the frequency of sampling and inspection is relaxed.

INsPECTION PROCEDUREs IMPORTANT TERMsCorrection factor the value that must be added or subtracted from the initial visual indicator setting to bring the test result within the inspection tole-rance (or inspection Range).Directions of Release Unless otherwise specified (see inseason inspection), the directions of release to be tested are forward lean and clockwise and counter-clockwise in twist.Test Device A device which meets iSo standard 11110 [or AStm standard f1061] and has been checked and maintained in the manner speci-fied by the device manufacturer.Test Result or Release Torque the middle quantitative value of three tests made in the same direction.

PREsEAsON TestReference Boot selection 1. Select five single boots with sole lengths as specifi ed in Table [A]

for the binding type to be tested: adult, junior, or child.2. Clean all five boots with a mild detergent and water.3. Adjust a rental binding to the release indicator setting specified in

Table [A] for the binding type.4. fit the binding to the boots and determine the Release torque in

all three directions of release (forward lean and both directions in twistthree releases in each direction).

5. Average the Release torque for Cw and CCw twist release.6. Reject and replace any boot with a Cw to CCw difference of

more than6 nm for adult boots or 4 nm when testing child boot types.7. Rank the five twist results and select as the Reference boot for

twist, the middle boot.8. Rank the five forward lean results and select as the Reference

boot for forward lean, the middle boot.

Preseason Binding Inspection the procedure that follows is an integral part of preseason main-tenance. it is also a good way to determine if maintenance is adequate and which units have outlived their usefulness and must be removed from inventory.1. Clean areas of the bindings that contact the boot and perform all

preseason binding maintenance.2. Visually or manually check:a. Afd condition.b. brakes function.c. Release indicator readability and travel.d. Screw tightness.e. [other product specifi c inspections if required]3. fit each binding to the Reference boot and adjust the release

indicators to the value in Table [A].4. Check that the heel track and toe track code (if any) agree with

the sole length code (if any) of the Reference boot.5. with the Reference boot in the binding, verify elastic travel of

the toe piece by striking the boot toe with a mallet or dead ham-mer and checking that the toe piece returns the boot quickly and completely to center.

6. Verify elastic travel of the heel piece by lifting the boot while

BINDINGs

12

depressing the heel piece cocking lever and checking that the heel piece returns the boot quickly and completely to the latched position. [other product specifi c procedures if required]

7. manually release the binding 3 times in each direction.8. Lubricate all boot/binding interfaces with a mild liquid deter-

gent and water solution.9. with the Ski binding test device determine the Release torque

for each direction of release (forward lean and both directions in twist).

10. Record PASS in the bindings maintenance record if test Results are within the inspection Ranges provided in Table [A].

11. Set the ski aside if the test Result in any directions of release is outside the inspection Range in Table [A].

12. follow troubleshooting Procedure (page 105) for units which have been set aside and retest if changes in the units con-dition or adjustment are made.

13. Record fAiL in the bindings maintenance record if, after troubleshooting, test results in any direction of release are outside the in-Use Range. Replace the failed unit and retest before returning the ski to service.

14. if after troubleshooting, test Results are outside the inspection Range but within the in-Use Range, apply a Correction factor to the unit and note the Correction factor for that unit in the bindings maintenance record.

15. if many bindings fail, check the test device and re-inspect the Reference boot. if necessary, select another boot and retest the bindings.

Preseason Boot Preparation the procedure that follows is an integral part of preseason maintenance.1. Clean all boots with [a mild detergent and water], and repair

or replace damaged or missing parts.2. Visually check:a. Conformance with iSo and other applicable standards. if the

bootcontacts the binding, brake, or Afd in areas other than the designated contact points, it may be incompatible with the binding. [product specific figure or description]

b. boot material. if the sole at the contact points with the bin-ding or Afd can be scratched with a finger nail, the boot may be of inferiors quality and incompatible with the binding.

c. boot sole condition. if the boot sole is damaged, worn, or contaminated at contact points with the binding or Afd in a manner which can not be corrected, the boot may be incom-patible with the binding.

d. brake compatibility with solee. Rubber and/or metal sole protectors. if such materials

contact the binding or Afd the boot may be incompatible with the binding.

f. mold flashings. flashing which can be seen or felt at contact points with the binding, brake, or Afd must be carefully removed.

3. Remove from inventory all boots that have failed the visual check.

Example of an binding inspection machine Preseason Boot sampling Although sampling eliminates the need to test every boot before

the season starts, the sample chosen must be representative of the inventory.1. for boots that are new to inventory or have never been inspected,

take a single boot from each cell (a cell is all boots of the same make, model, year, and shell size).

2. for used boots, take a 5% (but not less than 16 or more than 80) random sample of the entire inventory. make sure that there is at least one boot from each cell in the sample.

Preseason Boot Inspection the procedure that follows helps to assure both boot/binding compatibility and boot interchange ability.Note: when using Table [A], in the boot inspection procedured that follow, the Sole Length and Release indicator Setting Columns should be ignored.1. Randomly select a pair of bindings that have passed the preseason

inspection from each binding type; adult, junior, child.2. Lubricate all boot/binding contact points with a mild liquid

detergent.3. without regard to whether the boot is new or used, sort the

sample by sole type and length according to the 20 mm Sole Length Categories

4. in each Sole Length Category rank the boots by sole length and select the middle boot.

5. in each Sole Length Category fit the appropriate reference bin-dings to this typical boot and adjust the two bindings to re-lease as close as practical to the Reference torque in Table [A]. Use the Reference torque corresponding to Skier Code [L] for the Adult binding, [J] for the Junior binding, and [E] for the Child binding.

6. Rinse the lubricant from one binding and mark it clean. mark the other lubricated.

7. test each boot in the Sole Length Category with the clean Refe-rence binding and then the lubricated Reference binding in both twist and forward lean (only one direction in twist is required for the clean binding).

8. Set aside any boots for which the lubricated test Result is more than 20% less than the clean test Result in the same direction of release or the lubricated test Result in any direction of release is outside of the inspection Range provided in Table [A] for the Skier Code used to set up the Reference binding (L, J, or E).

9. Repeat the Visual Check on all boots that have been set aside, correct any defects noted, and retest. Remove from inventory boots that fail the retest.

10. Check all other boots from the same cell (make, model, year, and shell size) as those that failed.

NOTE: on completion of the preseason inspection, clean the liquid detergent from the equipment [and lubricate the binding be-fore returning it to service].

INsEAsON sAMPLING AND INsPECTION

the inseason inspection is a test of complete systems and all the procedures used by the rental staff to assemble and adjust the system. the program uses random samples of rental inventory taken at routine intervals. Any sampling program that gives every unit of inventory the same chance as every other of being picked is valid.

sample frequency Random sampling is conducted throughout the entire season. frequency is as follows:1. After 7 days of operation.2. if the sample passes the next sampling is taken after another 7

days of operation.

3. if two consecutive samples pass, sampling frequency is increased to 14 days.

4. if a sample fails at any time, daily sampling is instituted until two consecutive samples pass, at which point weekly sampling resumes.

sample size Sample size is 5% of inventory but not less than 16 no more than 80 units as noted in Table [B]. Sample size is based on average daily output. if rental output drops below 50% of capacity over the sampling period, the sample size can be reduced proportionately.

Inseason Inspection1. take a random sample of the rental inventory as determined

by Table [B]. take half the sample from inventory as it is either rented or returned and the remainder from inventory available for rental. [include a reference to Helpful tips for Random Sampling].

2. wipe the boot clean and cycle the boot/binding systems at least once in each direction.

3. test sample units in twist (one direction only) and forward Lean.

4. Compare the test Results with the inspection Range for the appropriate Skier Code.

5. if the results are within the inspection Range, the unit passes.6. if the results are outside inspection Range but within the in-Use

Range, count the unit as a Class i deviation.7. if the results are outside the in-Use Range, count the unit as a

Class ii deviation.8. Check elastic travel and visually inspect the ski brake function,

interface areas between boot and binding, including Afd, lug height adjustment (if appropriate), and forward pressure. Count any defi ciencies as Class i deviations.

9. if more than the maximum number of Class i deviations given in Table [B] are found in the sample, or a single Class ii deviation is detected the sample fails and daily sampling must be con-ducted until the problem which led to the failed sample is found and corrected.

10. Record the date the sample was tested, the number of units tested the number of Class i and Class ii (or iii) deviations, whether the sample passed or failed and any actions taken. there is no need to record the identity of units tested or actual test Results.

RELEAsE VALUE sELECTION

the selection of release setting depends on many variables inclu-ding skier height, weight and skier type which takes into conside-ration levels of skiing style, skiing speed, and terrain selection. it is common understanding that no universal chart can take care of all variables during skiing for every individual. Ski and boot type, loading conditions during a fall, personal physical condition, and skiing style are some of the uncontrollable factors which make it impossible to determine only one valid release value for the skier. moreover, some injuries (for example knee injuries) are quite unrelated to binding performance. therefore it has to be clearly understood and accepted that the adjustment chart can serve only as a state-of-the-art guideline to adjust the bindings to protect skiers from injuries, but it optimum release/retention setting for these skiers.

it has proven to be appropriate for most skiers and skiing condi-tions. the chart is based on current AStm and international Stan-dards. After having completed the adjustment of the boots to the bindings, determine the indicator settings by using the Adjustment Chart according to the following procedure. Skiers must be classifi ed to determine appropriate binding settings. the codes i, ii and iii stand for different skier types, which describe main characteri-stics of the skiers preferences with regard to terrain, speed and releasability.

TYPE I : Skiers witch need lower settings than type 1. Recom-mendable for beginners over 25 years.

TYPE III +: Very good skier, who skis in challenging terrain and wants to have higher release values than type 3.the Skier type is not according to the level of the skier. So a good skier, who is not skiing aggressive, could use the type 2 table.

sPECIAL NOTEfor experienced skiers who expressly request a setting different from the setting determined by the adjustment chart, the adjust-ment screw may be changed by one Skier Code up or down (at toe and/or heel)provided an appropriate disclaimer is signed.1. find the Skier Code which corresponds to the skiers weight or

height, whichever is closer to the top table.2. this Skier Code is appropriate for type i skiers. for type ii

skiers move down the chart one Skier Code (towards higher values). for type iii skiers move down the chart two Skier Codes.

3. for Skier who are 50 years or older, or under 10 years, move up one line.

4. Record the skiers code on the workshop form.

5. match the skiers actual boot sole length with the selected Skier Code to find the bindings initial indicator setting and adjust both toe and heel pieces to this setting.

6. follow the instructions for mounting and/or adjusting of the system, as described in the earlier chapters.

7. Record pass/fail results and final indicator settings on the work-shop form when all procedures are successfully completed.

NOTE: the binding system must pass all required tests for the dealer to receive indemnifi cation. the Adjustment-Chart identi-fies a range of appropriate release torque values. the calculation of the range is made using a continuous function, that is, pound by pound to yield a graphic representation of the standardised torque range bounded by (more or less) straight lines. for prac-tical purposes, manufacturers charts have been designed using weight intervals, rather than a smooth, continuous function. these intervals identify release torque values for skiers that fall within the standardised range, so they are entirely appropriate. Calcula-tors, computer programs, and electronic system testers can and do make use of the actual equations however. this means that for a given skier, there can be more than one calculated reference torque value, torque range, and indicator scale setting depending on the method used.the settings table is on page 111!

TROUBLEsHOOTING PROCEDUREs

this procedure follows AStm f1063 for retail bindings, AStm f1064 for rental bindings and iSo/fdiS 11088 international Stand-ard. for further guidance please refer to these documents.

There are three possible inspection results:

1) inspection Range +/- 15% (+/- 1 line on the Adjustment Chart). As noted in step 10 above, no further action is necessary.

2) in Use Range +/- 30% (+/- 2 lines on the Adjustment Chart).technician is required to apply Correction factor--adjust bind-ing up to 30% (+/- 2 lines from the target value on the Adjust-ment Chart). Procedure to apply Correction factor:

a. first, adjust binding to the indicator value shown on the next line (up or down as necessary) of the Adjustment Chart.b. RE-inSPECt binding (start back at step seven). c. if inspection results are within inspection Range, make fine ad-justments according to test device procedures, and record PASS in the bindings maintenance record. d. if binding still falls within in Use Range, adjust binding to the indicator value shown on next line (in the same direction as in step a) of the Adjustment Chart.e. RE-inSPECt binding. f. if inspection results are within inspection Range, record indica-tor value and record PASS in the bindings maintenance record. g. if the inspection results are not within inspection Range afterstep e, record fAiL in the bindings maintenance record and follow AtomiC USA warranty procedures.

3) greater than 30%. failed binding. Please follow AtomiC USA warranty procedures.

Reason for Notice: Clarification of System testing Procedures for determining System in-Use Range.

fullflex is a freely gliding system where the heel piece is connected to the toe piece by means of an flexible steel band. Consequently, there is almost no ski stiffening, which results in a practically stress free unit of ski and boot so the flex pattern of the ski is not affected in any way. Particularly for carving fULLfLEX offers the following three advantages: dependability, stability and better steering.

Release characteristicsduring ski flex if the toe is off-center in some phase of lateral impact,the heel does not push the boot into the toe with as much force aswith traditional bindings. instead, due to the flexible steel band, forward pressure remains nearly constant which keeps this pushing effect to a minimum. therefore, in this situation the release characteristics of the toe show the same smooth elastic characteristic whatever the state of ski flex;- more dependable.

ski bending linewith classic binding systems, the toe piece and the heel piece aremounted separately on the ski.As soon as the skier enters the binding, the ski boot is pressed into the binding with forward pressure, producing a flat spot in the ski bending line.

Pressure distributionthe pressure distribution of a ski without binding shows a peak value which is used by the ski manufacturer as a center or mounting point for the binding. if a ski boot is put into a conventional binding, the result is that the pressure distribution curve will change immediately and the above mentioned top value will be transformed into two values at some distance from the ski center.with the full flex system, the skis will perform without restrictions and will behave in a manner intended by the manufacturer. the toe piece is connected to the freely gliding heel piece by means of a steel band. to make sure the boot stays in the binding, moderate forward pres-sure is produced by a special spring system, whenever the ski boot is put into the binding. this longitudinal force is completely absorbed by the steel band.As there is no further mechanical coupling in this direction, forwardpressure does not affect the characteristic features of the ski. Consequently, such a ski will behave in a way it was designed. Like a ski without binding, the optimal pressure distribution is retained. As a result, the ski will show better stability and produce smooth round turns and better steering ability.

thanks to the VARIOZONE all you need for that perfect ski feeling is the right setting. by means of a lever the Race binding can easily be adjusted to the three following speed positions: EXTREME (front position), ALLROUND (central position), and sPEED (rear position). the overall tuning of the binding also depends on the type of skier. whether you prefer carving, quick short turns when racing or cruising in the deep - the AtomiC Race

variozone binding will satisfy all requirements of all skiers. VARIOZONE makes it possible to individually adjust the binding depending on skiing style, ski boot size and mounting tolerance. Even if snow and slope conditions change, you can always react, by fine tuning your position on the ski.

with AtomiC Race you can always find the right position.

VAR Variable Length Positioning:the entire binding unit can be unlocked with a lever and conveni-ently pushed into one of eight different positions. by doing so, the character of the ski can quickly and easily be adapted to the most diverse slope and terrain conditions.

EgA Edge grip alignment:All it takes is a simple turn of a screw to change the aggressiveness of the edge-grip or adapt the position of the toe lug to the natural position of the foot. the advantage: this eliminates the previously unwieldy process of adapting the boot.

6. PLATEs

Ending line of the ski (Pressure distribution curve)Shows the rigidity along the length of the ski. Ski manufacturers design their skis so that the course of the pressure line is harmonic along the length of the ski. the bending line is equally important for racing skis and carving skis. with the free gliding lifter we preserve the original pressure distribution curve of the ski.there is no infl uence to the ski characteristic and the whole system is not stiffening the system Ski boot binding.

Vibration behaviourShows the position of power application points with respect to the vibration modes of the ski. Perfect vibration behaviour is particularly important for racing skis in order to achieve optimum contact with the snow.

Damping behaviouris influenced by the viscosity of the material. not so important for racing skis. However, for carving skis which are used by a wide range of skier abilities, there should be a good balance between damping and material response.

ski boot / snow contactthe lifter height allows optimal carving and a reduced chance of theboot hitting the snow during high edge angles.

Edge-up angle / turning radiusif the edge-angle is increased, the turning radius will be reduced, while the side cut stays the same. At the same time the ski is bent to a greater extent, which is the reason why a free gliding system is necessary.

Transmission of power & momentumRepresents the effect on the ski when it is bent to a different extent (tension). Especially with racing skis, it is important that the power is transmitted directly and with almost frictionless contact. in the case of carving skis, slight floating is permitted and indicates the relation-ship between the length of the power lever and the length of the ski. Very important for racing skis and carving skis because good transfer of energy at the end of a turn means optimum acceleration.

standards / RegulationAccording to standard specifications there are no regulations regar-ding the height of the plate. only the assembly section must satisfy the stack height requirements.

Recommendation of VDs and TVVdS and tV have been concerned with the problem of plates andstand height increases in the interests of the specialized trade. theyhave carried out relevant research and issued a poster for work-shops.in this poster they say that the trend towards fitting additional plates between ski and binding in carving skis or using excessively high skis has a negative infl uence on the functioning of conventional ski brakes.the specialized dealer, who is responsible for the flawless combination of ski, plate and binding under standardization din/iSo 11088, has to comply with the following instructions:- depending on the ski brake model used, the total weight of the ski,

additional plate, and ski binding (half set) must not exceed certain-limits. tV has an updated list containing all relevant models.

- depending on the ski brake model used, the stand height mea-sured between the lower ski edge and the stand height of the heel piece (see figure) must not exceed certain values. tV has another updated list containing this information.

- the information given by the manufacturer in its instructions for use and its mounting shall be adhered to. Some ski binding manufac-turers do not permit the use of additional plates for their bindings.

- the tV recommendation is as follows: maximum total weight (half set) 4,000 g, maximum stand height 65 mm.

1. Adjusting the mounting template and drilling the skis.it is important to use the correct mounting templates for the installati-on of AtomiC bindings to ensure the proper alignment of the binding. the RACE mounting template is suitable for boot lengths between 280 to 340 mm (boot size approximately 4 - 13). in the basic position, the mounting template additionally covers a range of 270 - 350 mm. Special mounting is needed for boot lengths from 260 to 270 mm and from 350 to 362 mm.

1.1. RACE1.1.1. open the clamp jaws (H) and place the template onto the ski in the correct direction.1.1.2. open the knurled screw (b), place the ski boot into the moun-ting template and set the lengths so that the boot sits firmly at front and back against the toe cup (A) and the heel cup (A) of the mounting template, respectively.1.1.3. now tighten the template knurled screw (b).1.1.4. open the clamp jaws (H) and push the template until, according to the recommendations of the ski manufacturer, the boot and the ski mid sole marks are in line. Check that all contact surfaces rest securely on the ski.

1.1.5. when mounting without boot, adjust the desired mounting length by using sliding marker (C). Place the mounting template on the ski so that the boot mid sole marks of the template (f) and the ski are in line.1.1.6. for skis with a tip-of-the-boot-sole mounting mark, place the boot into the mounting template in accordance with 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 and, with the ski boot in place on the ski, push the mounting template until the boot-tip mark (d) is exactly in line with the marking on the ski.1.1.7. make sure that the ski side walls and the clamp jaws (H) are firmly in contact.1.1.8. Using the AtomiC step drill bit 3.3 /4.1 x 9 mm, which is suitable for ski lengths of 170 cm or more, drill the appropriate holes with the help of the drill bit guide (E).1.1.9. it is advisable to use the special wKt glue for the screws. in the case of foam core skis, the manufacturers instructions must be observed.1.2. Special mounting1.2.1. Special mounting adjustment for extremely short and long skiboots, sole lengths 260 to 270 mm and 350 to 362 mm.1.2.1.1. follow the procedure described under item 1.1.11.2.1.2. for all boot lengths in this range the mounting template is adjusted to its shortest position (260 mm). this position is reached by

opening the knurled screw (b), depressing the button (i) and pushingthe template until it stops. for 350 to 362 mm open the knurled screw depressing the button and pull the template until it stops.1.2.1.3. now follow the procedure as described in Section 1.1.3 to1.1.9.

WARNING: If RACE bindings are moved, make sure that the mark at the heel unit does not go beyond the marks (22) visible on the heel track.

1.2.2. Adjustment of the mounting template und drilling of RC/CXC plate by using a special template or paper stencil.1.2.2.1. WARNING: Use special template/paper stencil.open clamp jaws and put mounting template in the right direction on the ski so that all areas of support securely rest on the ski.1.2.2.2. make sure the boot middle mark of the template / paper stencil is in line with the boot middle mark of the ski.1.2.2.3. for skis with boot tip mark ensure that the boot tip mark of the template /paper stencil is in line with the boot tip mark of the ski.1.2.2.4. follow procedure as described in Sections 1.1.7 to 1.1.9.

2. Mounting2.1. RACE mounting2.1.1. mount toe track (53) together with pre-inserted toe unit.2.1.2. Press toe unit lever (50) to the right so the toe unit can glide in the toe track. once the Allround position is reached, turn the lever to the left so you can hear the toe unit lock in place.2.1.3. mount heel track (54) with pre-inserted heel unit.WARNING: The binding slides over the screws.The system will function flawlessly only if the screws (57) do not protrude beyond the track level.

2.1.4. Slide heel unit from the rear into the heel track (54), feeding the steel band (55) under the holding fixture (56) of the toe piece. Lock the front edge of the steel band (55) in place when it lines up alongside the number corresponding to the respective boot sole on the holding fixture (56).2.1.5. depress the leading edge of the Afd-cover (58) and slide it for-ward until it stops at the toe unit housing. Press the Afd-cover down.2.1.6. Connect Afd-cover (58), holding fixture (56) and steel band (55) by using the Xeed screw (59).

2.1.7. if demounting is required, open Xeed screw by turning it.2.2. Lifter mounting2.2.1 mount the lifter with pre-inserted screws onto the ski.

2.2.2. Use holes which are on the lifter for RaceXentriX bindings orfollow point 1CAUTION! The Race brake could be used only for lifters with a height of max. 25 mm. go on with 2.1.2. bis 2.1.7.

3. Check3.1. Check whether the brake arms (10) can move freely along theedges of the ski.the brake arms should safely lift the tail end of the ski when placed in a horizontal position. if this is not possible, check the function of the brake mechanism and re-lubricate if necessary.3.2. Check the Left / Right marking tabs and appropriate mounting.3.3. Ensure that the toe piece, the heel unit and all screws are flush and tight.

4. Maintenance of the mounting template4.1. the midsole display (f) can be adjusted and used as a boot length indicator (C) by pushing the screw (g) nearer to the center or the rear end.4.2. Check the special springs from time to time and replace if there are any signs of damage. Adjustment will be necessary after replacing springs.4.3. the synthetic coat (H) of the clamp jaws must not be damaged ormissing.

5. Adjustment of the system5.1. Lug heightin all AtomiC bindings, the toe lug height is set to boots of standard sole thickness (19 1 mm).Checking the toe lug height: the toe piece unit will work properly only when a clearance of 0,5 mm is allowed bet-ween the sole and the Afd. Put the boot into the binding and insert a card that is 0,5 mm thick, placing it between the Afd and the boot sole. it must be possible to slide the card between boot sole and Afd with a slight contact. if the ski boot does not meet the standards or is de-fective, the toe lug height shall be adjusted in the following way: Adjust the toe lug height as described above by turning the screw (6) using a screw driver for recessed-head screws. by turning the screw to the right, the toe lug is adjusted upwards, by turning the screw to the left the toe lug is adjusted downwards. Hand scew driver should be used!

5.2. forward pressurewith the boot out of the binding, but resting on the heel lug, turn the adjusting screw until 2 mm of clearence appears between the boot heel and the heel lug.Close the boot into the binding and check that the adjustment screw is flush with the heel housing. Repeat until flush.

5.3. Release valuesUsing the Adjustment Chart, find the appropriate release/retention set-ting and adjust the toe and heel units to this value. turn the adjustment screw (20) clockwise to increase or counter clockwise to decrease the release tension until the desired value is reached.

5.4. Variozone Adjustmentdepending on the skiers target group (CARVing / RACing / dEEP Snow) the binding may be adjusted by means of the VARiozonE adjustment lever to the following positions: Extreme / Allround (neutral) / Speed (tuning of the system). with the Race 1018 and the Race 614 there are 5 adjustments possible.

for adjustment unlock the bindings by turning the lever (50) to the right (you have to overcome a barrier). for 1018 and 614 Race bindings you must lift the lever fi rst and shift it to the right.Having moved the binding to the desired position, lock it again by turning the lever to the left (make sure the binding locks in place). Please ensure that both bindings are placed on the same marking!

Warning: If the binding is adjusted, the running behavior of the skiwill change. The skier has to adjust to these changes. ski carefully and take the changes into account. If you are not sure, return to the Allround (neutral) adjustment.5.5. Adjusting backward Releaseto reduce the danger of knee injuries AtomiC developed the adju-stable backward release feature. this system enables you to adjust the backward release individually at your own risk (mEdiUm/ACtiVE for the 1018, 614, and 412 models, Soft/HARd for the 310 models) without affecting the adjustments. the adjustment is carried out by tur-ning the screw (51) to the left or right. you can read the adjustment through the window (52). it is generally recommended that the higher the z number setting and/or the greater the skills of the skier, the fiX adjustment should be used for Race bindings.

Place the ski boot in the binding and close the binding by pressing the ski boot downward.1.5.2.3.Check whether the setting spindle for forward pressure (14) which is located at the back of the binding on the heel unit is flush with the heel unit housing.1.5.2.4.Adjust binding pressure:

IMPORTANT: Adjustment only with binding opened.

A. if the setting spindle projects out of the heel unit housing, the binding pressure is too low. open the binding and turn the setting spindle clockwise.

B. if the setting spindle is inside the heel unit housing, the binding pressure is too high. open the binding and turn the setting spindle anti-clockwise.

1.5.2.5.Place the ski boot in the binding, close the binding and check again.1.5.3. Adjusting Sole Height

NOTE: the nEoX has an automatic toe height adjustment in the 19 mm 1.5 mm range.

1.6. Check1.6.1. Check whether the brake arms can move freely along the edges of the ski. the brake arms should safely lift the tail end of the ski when placed in a horizontal position. if this is not possible, check the function of the brake mechanism.1.6.2. make sure that the toe piece, the heel unit and all screws are flush and tight.1.6.3. Check the toe pieces by pressing the boot about 10 mm out of the binding and then releasing it. it should go back into place evenly.1.6.4. Place the boot in the binding, close the binding and check whether the setting spindle which is located at the back of the binding on the heel unit is flush with the casing of the heel unit housing.

1.7. RemovalRemove the binding by following the mounting instructions in reverse (see section 1.3.).

Important Note: set torque drill low in order to not strip drill holes; use hand screw driver for final tightening of srews.

2. Rebuilding the NEOX Binding to fit sole length longer than 328 mm

to reach a Sole length from 370 and larger follow following steps.

1. from a foot length (SL) 340 mm you have to choose the back position of the heel unit holes on the binding plate.

2. Exchange the steel band on the heel. Remove the plastic attach-ment with the Screwdriver (Picture 1). Pull the steel band forward out of the guidance. Apply now the steel band extra long in reveres order. (Picture 2)
