Dealers. This manual provides current technical information, certification requirements, and indemnification
information. Please keep a copy of this Manual on hand as a quick, easy, and reliable reference for servicing
Salomon alpine bindings. Because the content of the Manual changes every year, you should keep previous
editions available as references for servicing older products. Your Salomon Certification Web site will one
day provide a resource of archived material for your reference as well.

Alpine Binding Liability Indemnification


Schedule of indemnified bindings
Salomon alpine binding indemnification applies to the 2006/2007 Retail Binding Line, 2006/2007 Rental
Binding Line, Non-current Retail Binding Line and Non-current Rental Binding Line models listed below.
Indemnification does not apply to older non-indemnified binding models.
Non-Indemnified Bindings
Older models of Salomon bindings no longer on the Schedule of Indemnified Bindings may still be serviced, however Liability Indemnification will not
be offered by Salomon for these models of bind­ings. Dealers wishing to service these models of bindings can reduce their liability risk by requiring an
additional waiver and release agreement and attaching it to the Workshop Form. Such waivers should be reviewed by a dealer’s own legal counsel to
ensure compliance with applicable laws.
Salomon bindings are not designed or tested for use with Mono Boards, therefore bindings mounted on Monoboards will not be indemnified.

Installation
Salomon bindings are installed 3 ways. “À la carte” bindings are installed by drilling holes into the surface
of the ski with the aid of a Salomon jig. Pilot Systems require no jigs and are simply secured to pre-drilled
holes on a premounted Salomon interface. Smartrak Systems can require a combination of these two tech-
niques. Please refer to the specific instructions in this Manual.

and adult norm boot soles, adult and junior systems cannot be combined,
e.g., junior boots with adult bindings or vice versa. If the system passes
this test, mark “Pass” (√) on the Workshop Form for “Test of Boot-
Binding Compatibility.”
If you are not sure that the boot complies with standards or if you are not
sure that the system components are compatible, see Troubleshooting.
Lateral
Secure the ski. Hit the forefoot area of the boot with an object that will not
damage the boot, such as a rubber hammer. Fig. A Use sufficient force
to move the boot off-center, but not hard enough to release the system.
The boot should move off-center at least 5 mm and return to center
within 2 mm of its original position.
Vertical
Depress the heel lever while pulling forward on the upper cuff of the boot
until the boot heel lifts at least 5 mm. Fig. S Release both hands simul-
taneously. The boot should return to the ski quickly and smoothly. This
inspection can be performed either manually or by using a mechanical
testing device. If a testing device is used, follow the recommendations of Reference

Mechanical Inspection
It is a requirement* for Salomon indemnification that all ski/binding/boot systems be verified using a force
or torque measuring device.**
A previously damaged binding component or boot may break during the added stress of mechanical testing.
Consumers should be advised of this possibility prior to any mechanical testing of their equipment.

Rental Visual & Mechanical Inspection S TEP 6


Rental Testing Overview
The mechanical inspections discussed in this section are required of U.S. dealers and are strongly recommended
for Canadian dealers, both in the interest of consumer protection and as a sound risk-management strategy.
Maintenance records must be kept for all bindings and boots in inventory for both pre-season and in-season
inspections. Only Pass/Fail results should be recorded. If bindings are switched from one pair of skis to another,
this should be noted on the records. To receive indemnification from Salomon, maintenance records must be kept
on file for five years or the statute of limitations in your state or province, whichever is longer.
Pre-Season Boot/Binding: In-Season Binding:
• Visually inspect and clean all boots and bindings in inventory. • Random sampling inspection (including mechanical testing) must be

Rental In-Season Inspections
In-season inspections must be performed on random samples of rental inventory during the season to
ensure equipment is functioning properly. Any sampling program that gives every unit of inventory an
equal chance of being selected is valid. The purpose of random sampling is to detect, correct and prevent
deficiencies. Deficiencies (deviations) fall into the following categories:
Deviations - Class I should all be corrected as they are reference torque value. In-season • Sampling then continues nor-

Maintenance & Repairs


Ski maintenance
Good ski maintenance is just as important for the recreational skier as for the racer. A fine-tuned ski lasts
longer. A well-prepared ski turns better, grips the snow better and glides better on all types of snow.
The ski tune-up involves three steps:
1. Daily check-up - at the end of everyday of skiing.
2. Machine tuning - for quick work.
3. Complete hand tuning - for skier’s specific needs.

Check-up
• Visually check to see if any rust • Remove any traces with fine, • If necessary, sharpen and polish • Clean the base and wax with

Boot Standards & Technical Features > 53

Standard Boot Norms


Standard Boot Sole Dimensions > ISO 5355
The Alpine boot soles are standardized and bindings are designed accordingly.
The standard norm concerns not only the shape and dimensions as illustrated, but also the friction coeffi-
cient of the area of the sole which is in contact with the anti-friction plate on the binding.
In practical terms: Boot Toe
The boot manufacturers who display
one of the following markings:
DIN, ISO, ÖN, UNI guarantee that
they use standard norms.
In the absence of any of these,
check first with the boot manufac- ,
turer. These boots are designed for  ,

Thermoforming machine > Procedure
Before using the machine for the first time, return the guarrantee card to your Customer Service
Representative. Follow the instructions for the thermoforming machine closely and pay particular attention
to the rules on safety.
To guarantee good thermoforming, we have adapted a thermal sensor to our machines. If something is
abnormal during the heating process, the machine will work alternately. If this is the case, contact the cus-
tomer service in your country. Do not take the machine apart.
This machine is for exclusive use with Salomon CUSTOMFIT liners. Any other use is forbidden.
