PRODUCT PREPARATIONProduct preparation is of a high importance for every user. All Elan Skis are engineered and producted according tothe actual ISO standards for alpine skis, but even the best manufactured product with the best materials used will notperform well if minimal preparation and maintenance rules will not be followed.

TUNINGEach and every ski needs to be tuned properly and regularly to maintain its performance and safety. Factory tuning is done on industrial machinery and cannot be copied manually. Only authorized people with knowledge about thehandling of service machines should service the skis.

Sintered bases require more frequent waxing but are harder and more resistant to impact damage; extruded basesare less demanding as far as waxing is concerned, but due to their softness may require more frequent repairs ofimpact damage.

Steel edges are to be sharpened once the edge grip gets less strong or the edges are damaged. Even after only afew days of skiing on ice, the skis can significantly loose their edge grip.

For the tuning of Elan skis we recommend the following edge geometry:

Angle from base: 1° ± 0,5°

Angle from side: 1,5° ± 0,5°

DRILL BITSProper binding installation is essential for the optimal performance of the product and proper binding function. Followthe chart below regarding the diameter of the drill-bit, depth of drilling.

MOUNTING POSITIONSThe mounting position is usually close to the gravity point of the ski. Any variation towards the tip will make the skimore aggressive and quicker to turn, any variation towards the tail will make it accelerate better out of turn.

MOUNTING POSITIONS FOR NON FUSION SKIS

This measurements should be taken from the tail of the ski and indicate the boot center.All measurements are in millimeters.Acceptable tolerance +/- 1.5 mm.

Product warrantyELAN grants warranty for the quality and performanceof Elan skis for a term of one year from date of sale tothe consumer. The warranty covers defects that havenot been caused by the customer.

THE WARRANTY CLAIM WILL BE ACCEPTEDIN CASE:• the product has been chosen in the right size,

• the bindings are mounted properly,

• in case of normal wear and tear of the product,

• in case of proper care and storage of the product.

ELAN SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO ACCEPT THEWARRANTY CLAIM PROVIDED: • the proper warranty claim procedure has not been

observed by the distributor;

• upon verification of the justification of a warranty claim by the producer, the distributor does not submitevidence justifying the claim. Such evidence can be returned skis and the invoices indicating the date of the sale to the consumer.

• The producer’s Quality Assurance Department finds out on the basis of a description of the defect, sub-mitted samples or an inspection that the warranty term has expired or that the defect has been caused by reasons beyond the producer’s liability.

THE WARRANTY SHALL NOT APPLY IF THECLAIM IS A RESULT OF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING REASONS:• IMPROPER SKI SIZE (discrepancy between the skier’s

weight and body height and the chosen ski design)

• IMPROPER USE (only those models declared as rentalskis by the producer can be used for rental purposes)

• IMPROPER BINDING MOUNTING (improper binding mounting area, hole diameter, binding mounting force,humidity in the wood core through the binding holes)

• SHOCKS AGAINST ROCKS (The skis are designed for skiing on snow which is why the producer cannot be held liable for delamination of the edges, base andsidewalls resulting from shocks against rocks and other hard objects)

• SHOCKS WITH THE TIP AGAINST HARD OBJECTS (the skis are designed for certain loads only, and the skier is responsible for any excessive force used)

• OVERSTRESS (resulting from the skier’s improper skiing technique, falls or shocks which can result in delamination and break which cannot be accepted asa justified warranty claim)

• ABUSE (striking with tails against a hard surface to remove the snow, striking the two skis together, scratches).

• IMPROPER CARE OF SKIS (in case the skier does nothave the damage repaired which can result in delami-nation, humidity penetrating the wood core, or rust onthe inside section of the steel edges)

• IMPROPER STORAGE (storing of wet skis in unsuitablerooms can result in rust on the steel edges which canagain result in destruction, or delamination)

• IMPROPER AFTER-SALE SERVICE (excessive grind-ing of the tail protector, thinning of the base and steeledges, overheating of the glued layers)

• WEAR AND TEAR (the condition of the skis indicateswhether the customer is trying to make a claim due to a minor defect which he/she could have caused by improper use or lack of care - checking of the warranty terms absolutely necessary)

• ABUSE (deformation caused by excessive force, breaks, delamination of the glued layers, removal of protectors and similar)

WAVEFLEX TECHNOLOGY

SKI SIDEWALL TECHNOLOGIESRST-Racing sidewall technology• Full length vertical 90° sidewall

• Maximum edge hold throughout the entire ski length

• Most direct power transmission to the edges

AST-Advanced sidewalltechnology• Vertical 90° sidewall under the

feet for most direct power transmission and edge hold

• Slanted 60° sidewall in tip and tail area for easier turn initiation and execution

• Perfect combination between an aggressive and forgiving ski

PST-Partial sidewall technology• Sidewall construction under the

feet area

• Cap construction in tip and tail

• Very good edge grip combined with easy maneuverable skis

Built for on slope performance skiers looking for thenew ultimate experience in skiing. The revolutionaryflex ski construction is the newest innovation by Elan.

Traditional ski construction does not combine a softflex to carve turns and torsional stiffness to control theski on the edge. In order to be versatile on the slope inlong and short turns, skiers need both: a soft flex andtorsional stiffness. The revolutionary flex technologycombines both attributes in a unique way for fast,stable and high-performance on slope skiing withmore comfort and easier turn initiation.

THE MAIN BENEFITS OF WAVEFLEXTECHNOLOGY ARE:• Better torsional stability - for improved edge grip

in long turns

• Softer flex - for easier turn innitiation in short turns

• Lightweight construction - reduces the overall volume of the ski and weight

• Used for all Speedwave skis

NEW: RACE PRO HEELThe new, reduced stand height corresponds to the new FIS regulations. This gave us the opportunity toredesign the heel track, making it 1 mm higher and 8 mm wider for even more stability and direct powertransmission. Moreover, increased size of the glidinginserts reduces friction and provides even smootherand more consistent release performance in all skiingsituations and conditions.

TRP TOE SYSTEMSAFETY The 4-Roller Pincer System remains flexible at all times, absorbing shortimpact peaks on ligaments and automatically recentering the boot. Perfect 180° release action allows up to 30% higher retention force without compromising on safety.

CONVENIENCEEasy entry and perfect centering of the boot, no snow- or dirt clogging.

PERFORMANCEPositive power transmission, perfect power link between boot and binding(30% better centering accuracy than conventional cams).

DIAGONAL TOEFull Diagonal Toes feature 180° release actionfrom horizontally to vertically. Maximum safetyin backward twisting-fall situations.

Race Diagonal Toes are tuned for racing purposes. Due to higher release force verticallythan horizontally, it holds up to the high back-ward lean forces occurring in racing.

ABS SYSTEMSAFETY Release without any friction significantly reduces strain on ligaments in forward twisting falls. Perfect release regardless of temperature, boot-wear, icing-up, or dirt on the binding.

CONVENIENCESelf-cleaning design and maintenance-free.

PERFORMANCE Best results in independent safety testing and awarded withthe TÜV high quality mark.

Brake Arm

ELAN presents the new innovative system – called TMDQuickTrick (QT). Succeeding the TMD Junior system,QuickTrick is suitable for both retail and the rental sectoras well.

Due to two different mid parts, TMD QuickTrick coversboot sole lengths ranging from 199 to 323 mm: thesmall range from 199 to 283 mm, the large range from239 to 323 mm. Covering this large mounting rangeand offering a selection of two different binding models(EL 7.5 and EL 4.5) TMD QuickTrick is the ultimatesystem for kids and juniors (pict 1).

LITERAIL• Length adjustment of toe and heel on the base

• Pre-mounting possible

• Demo suitable

• Rental suitable

• Season Rental suitable

• Can be used for all flat skis

• Children, Junior

• Max. DIN 7.5 (plates DIN 9.0)

BASEPre mounted plate with two Boot Sole Length ranges:

• from 199 mm to 283 mm

• from 239 mm to 323 mm

Smaller and more integrated look

Metal reinforced locking bars to insure binding fixation

Compared to the previous TMD Junior base, the newQT base is lower and narrower and therefore looksmuch more integrated. Due to the new construction, itcan be mounted easily to skis from 90 cm onwardswithout affecting the flex and performance of the ski.Mounting and adjusting a QT binding is extremelysimple and can be done without any additional tool:Open the toe lever and slide the toe on the rail fromthe front. Lock at the appropriate boot sole length andclose the lever. Now hook the brake into the heelhousing – open the lever, slide the heel on the rail from the back and lock it at the appropriate boot solemarking – close the lever – and you are Quick with thisTrick.

1. MOUNTING - BINDINGSMounting and adjusting the EL bindings is extremelysimple and can be done without any additional tool.

Make sure that the boot meets the international stan-dards and is free of any functional damage. Take thebinding parts out of the box and follow the steps on the instruction leaflet. Determine the boot sole lengthwith the rental boot indicator (Art. no. E 162 617).

First you have to open the toe-lever and slide the toeon the rail from the front (pict 3).

Lock at the appropriate boot sole length and close thelever (pict 4).

Now hook the brake into the heel housing (pict 5).

Then you can open the lever and slide the heel on therail from the back! (pict 6).

Simply lock it at the appropriate boot sole marking byclosing the lever - and you are ready to go (pict 7).

Finally, check the forward pressure, by placing a bootinto the binding. If you have followed all steps correctly,the indicator should rest in the marked area (pict 8).

If you have too much or not enough forward pressure,check the settings at first. If necessary, adjust slightly

at the heel and the toe (pict 9). Then check the forwardpressure again. Now it should be okay.

2. ADJUSTMENT OF THE RELEASE VALUESThe release values at toe and heel should be determinedby the height and body weight (ISO/ ASTM) method.Set the binding accordingly with the adjustment screws.We recommend the use of a calibrated testing deviceand that you keep a written record of whether thesystem passes or fails (requirement in the US).

NOTE: Release/ Retention settings above a releasemoment of 100 NM at the toe and 400 NM at the heelare higher than the international standards recommendand are used solely at the skier’s own risk!

3. FUNCTION CHECKCheck the function of the heel. Make sure that the bootdoes not catch on the heel during entry and exit. Checkthe brake function by pressing down the brake pedal (1)by hand. The brake arms (2) must open to the brakingposition when the brake pedal is released (see pict 10).

Check the elasticity and retention of the toe by pushingthe boot inward and outward. The binding must recenterthe boot easily and quickly from a 15 mm lateral displacement (EL 7.5, EL 4.5 - 10 mm).

11. FINAL CHECK• Is the proper mounting point selected?

• Functional brake test passed?

• Is the forward pressure properly adjusted?

• Are the release values of the toe and heel properly determined and set?

• Is the Instruction for use booklet ready to be handed over to the customer?

Drill Template 92 W

1. COMPATIBILITYPresently the drill template 92 W can be used for:

All ELAN adult bindings come with screws with apenetration depth of 8 mm for skis, group G1 & G2. The junior bindings EL 7.5 and ELC 7.0 are deliveredwith screws with a penetration depth of 6 mm. Formounting junior bindings on ELAN Plates or on skis,group G1 & G2, replace them by longer screws (seescrew chart in this manual-page 38).

Drill template 92 W can be used for ski widths from 59 mm to 108 mm. For other skis use the templateadapter set (art. nr. E 162 569). With this adapter set,skis from 45 to 132 mm can be mounted.

NOTE: ELAN offers different types of brakes.Refer to the brake overview on page 42 for brakeand binding compatibility.The Description of the brakes always includes anumber like 72, 78, 90, 93, 115, and so on …. Thisnumber stands for the maximum ski width in thebrake area and not in the ski center!!!

2. ADJUSTING THE DRILL TEMPLATEThere are two different mounting procedures for tem-plate 92 W. One for FREEFLEX PRO and one for TWOPIECE bindings.

To adjust the template unlock the locking lever (1) byrotating it counter-clockwise to the far left position.

ER FREEFLEX PRO:NOTE: Due to the center piece these bindings arelimited to ski boots with sole lengths from 257 to 372mm.

Place the ski boot in the template and push the tem-plate together until the stops (2) come against the skiboot sole. Take the boot out of the template. Positionthe locking lever (1) in the mid position, then open orclose the template to the nearest centimeter mark.

TWO PIECE BINDINGS:Place the ski boot in the template and push the tem-plate together until the stops (2) come against the skiboot sole. Lock the lever to the far right position toprevent length change, then take the boot out of thetemplate.

For EP 9.0 - Plate, and EP 9.0+ - Plate: See Page 39.

3. POSITIONING THE DRILL TEMPLATEOpen the clamping jaws (4) of the template by rotatingthe clamping handles (5) and then place template cor-rectly on the ski, with the boot midsole indicator (3)aligned with the mounting mark on the ski. Be sure thetemplate is evenly seated against the ski’s top surface.Release clamping handles thus attaching the templateto the ski.

Check the boot midsole mark with template mark. If theyare not the same use the boot midsole mark to align thetemplate with the ski mounting mark.

NOTE: Keep in mind that some ski manufacturers donot use the center of boot sole location method, alwaysfollow their instructions.

4. DRILLING THE HOLESFor ELAN skis: Refer to the Drill Bit chart on page 4.Other skis: If not otherwise specified by the ski manu-facturer, use a 4,1 Ø x 9,0 mm drill bit. Use a 4,1 Ø x 7,0 mm drill bit for skis, group G3 & G4.Drill the holes using the appropriate drill bit. If requiredby the ski manufacturer, tap the hole with a 12 AB tab.After drilling place a drop of glue in each hole. It lubri-cates the screws and seals the holes (pict 11).

5. MOUNTINGFOR ER FREEFLEX PRO:Place the pre-assembled heel over the prepared holes(pict 12) and tighten the screws in a cross pattern (pict 13).

Place the heel and the Free Flex band over the pre-pared holes and fasten the four screws.

Then attach the AFD to the toe and check if the AFDhas snapped in, in its specific position.

Then you have to place the pre-assembled toe overthe holes.

ATTENTION: First you have to tighten the screw in the center – the number has to correspond to thecentimetre mark from the template.

To fix it you have to hold the bands together andtighten the screw carefully.

After this align the toe over the holes and fasten thescrews.

FOR TWO PIECE BINDINGS:Place the binding over the predrilled holes and tightenthe screws.

7. ADJUSTING THE TOE UNIT ELC 7.0The ELC 7.0 is the only junior binding, which is for bothski boots type A-adult and ski boots type C-children.All other junior and adult bindings are only for ski boots type A-adult.

The toe sole lug of the ELC 7.0 is pre-adjusted for skiboots type A-adult. If ski boots type C-children areused, use a screwdriver to push the wedge downunder the toe unit up to the stop (pict 22).

To readjust the toe for ski boots type A-adult push thewedge back to its original position (pict 23).

8. ADJUSTING THE RELEASE VALUESThe release values of the toe and heel should be deter-mined by height and body weight (ISO/ASTM) method.Set the binding accordingly with the adjustment screws.We recommend the use of a calibrated testing deviceand that you keep a written record of whether thesystem passes or fails (requirement in the US).

NOTE: Release/retention settings above a releasemoment of 100 NM at the toe and 400 NM at the heelare higher than the international standards ISO 11088recommend and are used solely at the skiers own risk!

9. FUNCTION CHECKENTRY/EXIT: Check to make sure that the boot doesnot catch on the heel hold down lug.

BRAKE: press the brake treadle (1) down by hand (pict 24 and 25).

Mounting Procedure ELAN Plates1. GENERALFor proper mounting use drill template 92 W.

The compatible binding-plate combinations can befound in the coordination chart (see page 39). All ELAN Plates can be used for skis groups G1 & G2. If mounted for skis groups G3 & G4 the screws have tobe replaced by shorter ones, see screw chart page 38.For mounting ESP 7.5, EL 7.5, and ELC 7.0 on ELAN-EP Plates you have to replace the premounted screwsby screws with 8 mm penetration depth. Only with thesescrews can we guarantee the right pullout strength.

2. ADJUSTING THE DRILL TEMPLATE 92 W

Unlock the adjustment lever (1) by rotating it counter-clockwise and push it together as far as possible (23 cm). Fix the position by rotating the adjustmentlever (1) clockwise until it stops (see template 92 W).

3. POSITIONING THE DRILL TEMPLATEOpen the jaws (4) of the template by rotating thehandles (5) and place it on the ski with the boot midpoint indicator aligned with the mounting mark of the ski. Small deviations between the mountingmark of the ski and the mark on the boot can occur. If you want to avoid that use the skiboot tip orientedmounting procedure. For skiboot tip mounting of ELAN PLATES align the corresponding sole lengthmark on the sticker (pict 50) with the boot tip mounting mark on the ski.

4. DRILLING THE HOLESFor ELAN skis: Refer to the Drill Bit chart on page 4.Other skis: If not otherwise specified by the ski manufacturer, use a 4,1 Ø x 9,0 mm drill bit for skis,group G1 & G2. For skis of, groups G3 & G4, use a 4,1 Ø x 7,0 mm drill bit.

Drill the holes using the appropriate drill bit. After drilling, drop some glue into the clean holes.

This lubricates the screws when getting mounted andlater seals the ski.

5. MOUNTINGPlace the front part of the plate over the holes andfasten the screws.

Then place the back part over the holes and fasten the screws.

Determine the bootsole length with the boot measuringdevice and place the binding on the Plate correspond-ing with the appropriate printed length markings. Mount the binding in accordance with the proceduresdescribed in this Tech Manual.

For skiboot tip oriented mounting only

MOUNTING ELAN BINDINGS ON RAISEDPLATFORMS:All other ELAN binding and plate combinations accord-ing to chart page 42 with ELAN skis are possible withthe standard ELAN brake.

MOUNTING - BINDINGS ON EP 14.0 WCRACE PLATE RDX:Presently the EP 14.0 WC Race Plate RDX is designedand has pre-drilled holes for FREEFLEX PRO bindings.We guarantee the right pullout strength only for thesemodels. Mount the binding in accordance with the pro-cedures in this manual with following exception to re-place screws of the standard rear heel. Shorter screwsare packed with FREEFLEX PRO bindings!

Other than that point, the mounting is similar to themethod described in this manual!

NOTE: Use only the pre-drilled holes for installation –do not drill holes into the plate to mount bindings ofother manufacturers.

MOUNTING - BINDINGS ON RACEPLATEJUNIOR:For mounting junior bindings on ELAN PLATES youhave to replace the pre-mounted screws by screwswith 8 mm penetration depth. Only with these screwscan we guarantee the right pullout strength (see page38).

NOTE: Use only the pre-drilled holes for installation –do not drill holes into the plate to mount bindings ofother manufacturers. Determine the boot sole lengthwith the Rental boot caliper and place the binding onthe Plate corresponding to the appropriate printedlength markings.

Mount the binding in accordance to the proceduresspecified in this manual.

BRAKE EXCHANGE• Unscrew and remove both front heel screws and pull

the POWER BRAKE off the heel (see pict 54).

• Then slide on the new BRAKE (see pict 55) and screw it on again together with the heel track.

CAUTION: Should you, use ELAN bindings withplates from other manufacturers, check the ELANBrake Matrix to see if the desired combination of ski -plate-binding is possible.

FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE BELOW:1. Add together the weight of the components you

want to mount ski + plate + binding.

2. Add together the thickness of the components youwant to mount ski + plate + binding.

3. Using the list below, determine which ELAN brakesare standard on the bindings delivered.

4. Find the value on the vertical axis which corres-ponds to the sum of the addition for the standheight.

5. Follow the horizontal axis on the matrix to the rightuntil you find the value which corresponds to thetotal weight on the horizontal axis.

6. If the point of intersection of the weight and stand-height lie below the respective curve, the brake willfunction properly.

7. If the point of intersection lies above the curve forthe POWER BRAKE/long, using this combination ofski + binding + plate is not possible. In this case,you have the following possibilities to come withinthe permitted range:.a) Reduce the total thickness through:

– a thinner plate,– a ELAN binding with less standheight

(see page 14 and 18).

b) Reduce the total weight to– a lighter plate, e. g. a

EP 9.0 PLATE – a ELAN binding with less weight,– a lighter ski.

c) Use a combination of a) + b).

ELAN Sympro - ESP System 2009/10Performance, for a rental binding, is not only whathappens on the hill. A key measure of a product’squality is the ease with which a system can be adjustedand maintained throughout the course of many seasons.

The mechanic-friendly rental design, however, deservesspecial attention here:

• Easy mounting: This means fewer mistakes andreduced set-up time.

• Easy pre-season testing, low drop-out rate. The automatic sole lug design and the precise centering of the toe pincer system mean: fewer correction factors will be needed and less time spent testing.

• The SlNGLE CODE system gives you a super fast option for binding-to-boot adjustment: set the heel length using the special sole length scale.Forward pressure will be right on, first time, every time.

• All models have automatic lug height adjustment which accommodate standard differences in boot sole-height.

• Easy, hand- levered “ONE TOUCH”- set up. ●One tool adjustment, easy to turn adjustment screw.

• Almost maintenance-free, easy to change the AFD, clean and lubricate the heel track.

ELAN made the commitment to offer a comprehensiveproduct and service program.

THE RENTAL BINDINGSNo single rental binding can ever fulfill all the needs ofall types of shops. We therefore offer the followinglineup of rental models.

PREPARING AND CHECKING RENTALSYSTEMSCustomers usually don’t treat rental equipment as gentlyand carefully as they would handle their private property.

In order to keep your rental fleet as functional and ap-pealing as possible, a systematic maintenance programis a must.

The best results are obtained with an ongoing programwhich constantly checks boots, bindings and skis.

SINGLE CODINGThis enables a quick boot and binding coordinationeven during the rush hours of rental business.

Simply check the boot’s SINGLE CODE and adjust thebinding accordingly.

In order to gain the efficiencies of ESP, all you need todo is follow our simple procedure.

1. Mount all bindings accordingly to the ELAN ESPprocedures. Pick a mounted sample binding of eachmodel.

2. Place a boot of each size in the binding and adjustforward pressure until correct.

3. Open the heel and remove boot.

4. Record the SINGLE CODE from the track that corres-ponds to the mark on the side of the heel housing.(The boot must not be in the binding when you readthe code.)

5. Check each code again before marking all boots ofthis size with their SINGLE CODE (pict 57)!

For this procedure the ELAN Rental Boot Indicator (Art. Nr.E 162 627) can be used.

RENTAL INSPECTION SUMMARYSince it is impractical to perform a full inspection eachtime a system is rented, a routine of pre-season andinseason inspections has been developed to verify re-lease indicator accuracy, confirm correct equipmentfunction, and assure proper assembly and adjustmentprocedures by the rental shop staff. Fully implemented, the procedures that follow providerental shop customers a standard of care equivalent tothat provided retail shop customers under current ISOand ASTM standards. The program is based on theexisting standards: ISO 13993 and ASTM F1064.

PRESEASON INSPECTIONPreseason inspections are performed on componentsof the release system: bindings and boots.

All rental bindings, new and used, are visually inspected,and then tested using specially selected ReferenceBoots. Bindings that fail go through a troubleshootingprocedure to identify and correct the deviation or mal-function. 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 inferiormaterials at contact points with the binding. In addition,one boot per “cell” is tested for boots that are new tothe 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 alsotested. Tests are performed with a test device and apair of specially selected reference bindings. If a bootfails, all boots from that cell are then tested. Boots thatfail and cannot be repaired are removed from inventory.

INSEASON INSPECTIONInseason inspection are performed on complete rentalsystems to ensure that the equipment is adjusted ap-propriately and continues to function correctly. Typically5% of the rental inventory is tested during each twoweeks sampling period. The random sample is equallydivided between equipment that is available for rentaland equipment that has just been rented. The equipmentin the “as rented” category is from real skiers in the con-dition in which it is either dispatched or returned, whilethe “available for rental” equipment may be set up forfictitious 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 allo-wable limits. The magnitude and frequency of these de-viations determines the frequency of future inspections.Shops which fail an inspection must sample daily untilsource of the problem is found and corrected. Then, asinspection results improve, the frequency of samplingand inspection is relaxed.

INSPECTION PROCEDURESIMPORTANT TERMS

Correction Factor The value that must be added or subtracted from theinitial visual indicator setting to bring the result withinthe Inspection Tolerance (or Inspection Range).

Directions of ReleaseUnless otherwise specified (see Inseason Inspection),the directions of release to be tested are forward leanin clockwise and counter clockwise in twist.

Test DeviceA device which meets ISO standard 11110 or ASTMstandard F1061 and has been checked and maintainedin the manner specified by the device manufacturer.

Test Result or Release TorqueThe middle quantitative value of three tests made in thesame direction.

PRESEASON TESTReference Boot SelectionThe Reference Boot is a boot of a designated solelength which is otherwise typical of the boot inventory.Use the procedure below if the boot inventory includesseveral models and a representative boot can not easilyidentified.

1. Select five single boots with sole lengths as specifiedin Table [A] for the binding type to be tested: adult, junior, or child.

Table [A] Preseason Binding Inspection

2. Clean all five boots with a mild detergent and water.

3. Adjust a rental binding to the release indicator settingspecified in Table [A] for the binding type.

4. Fit the binding to the boot and determine the ReleaseTorque in all three directions of release (forward leanand both directions in twist-three releases in each direction).

5. Average the Release Torque for CW (clockwise) and CCW (counter clockwise) twist release.

6. Reject and replace any boot with a CW to CCW difference of more than 6 Nm for adult boots or 4 Nmwhen testing child boot types.

7. Rank the five twist results and select as the ReferenceBoot 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 INSPECTIONThe procedure that follows is an integral part of pre-season maintenance. It is also a good way to determineif maintenance and which units have outlived their use-fulness and must be removed from inventory.

01. Clean areas of the bindings that contact the bootand perform all preseason binding maintenance.

02. Visually or manually check:

a.) AFD condition.

b.) Brakes function.

c.) Release indicator readability and travel.

d.) Screw tightness.

03. Adjust each binding with the reference boot, thenadjust the release value indicators to the specifiedvalue found in table [A].

04. Check that the heel track and toe track Single Codeagree with the sole length Single Code of the refer-ence Boot.

05. With the Reference Boot in the binding, verify elastictravel of the toe piece by striking the boot toe witha mallet or dead hammer and checking that the toepiece returns the boot quickly and completely tocenter.

06. Verify elastic travel of the heel piece by lifting theboot while depressing the heel piece cocking leverand checking that the heel piece returns the bootquickly and completely to the latched position.

07. Manually release the binding 3 times in each direction.

08. Lubricate all boot/binding interfaces with a mildliquid detergent and water solution.

09. With the Ski Binding Test Device determine theRelease Torque for each direction of release (forward lean and both directions in twist).

10. Record “PASS” in the bindings’s maintainancerecord if Test Results are within the InspectionRange provided in Table [A].

11. Set the ski aside if the Test result in any releasedirections is outside the Inspection Range in Table[A].

12. Follow Troubleshooting Procedure on page 56for units which have been set aside and retest ifchanges in the unit’s condition or adjustment aremade.

13. Record “FAIL” in the binding’s maintenance recordif, after troubleshooting, test results in any directionof release are outside the In-Use Range. Replacethe “failed” unit and retest before returning the skito service.

14. If after troubleshooting, Test Results are outsidethe Inspection Range, but within the In-Use Range,apply a Correction Factor to the unit and note theCorrection Factor for that unit in the binding’s main-tenance record.

15. If many bindings fail, check the test device and re-inspect the Reference Boot. If necessary, selectanother boot and retest the bindings.

PRESEASON BOOT PREPARATIONThe procedure that follows is an integral part of pre-season 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 applicablestandards ISO 5355. If the boot contacts thebinding, brake, or AFD in areas other than thedesignated contact points, it may be incompatiblewith the binding.

2. b.) Boot material. If the sole at the contact points with the binding or AFD can be scratched with a finger nail, the boot may be of inferior 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 incompatible withthe binding, “Verify boot sole dimensions”.

d.) Brake compatibility with sole.

e.) Rubber and/or metal sole protectors.

ING

If such materials contact the binding or AFD theboot may be incompatible with the binding.

f.) Mold flashings. Flashing which can be seen or felt at contact points with the binding, brake, orAFD must be carefully removed.

3. Remove from inventory all boots that have failedthe visual check.

PRESEASON BOOT SAMPLINGAltough sampling eliminates the need to test every bootbefore the season starts, the sample chosen must berepresentative of the inventory.

1. For boots that are new to inventory or have neverbeen 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 ormore than 80) random sample of the entire inven-tory, see Table [B]. Make sure that there is at leastone boot from each cell in the sample.

PRESEASON BOOT INSPECTIONThe procedure that follows helps to assure boot/ bindingcompatibility and boot interchange ability.

NOTE: when using Table [A], in the Boot Inspectionprocedures that follow, the Sole Lenght and releaseIndicator Setting columns should be ignored.

1. Randomly select a pair of bindings that have passedthe preseason inspection from each binding type;adult, junior, child.

2. Lubricate all boot/binding contact points with a mildliquid detergent.

3. Without regard to wheter the boot is new or used,sort the sample by sole type and length accordingto the 20 mm Sole Length Categories defined bythe Release/Retention Adjustment Chart.

4. In each Sole Lenght Category rank the boots bysole length and select the middle boot.

5. In each Sole Lenght Category fit the appropriate re-ference bindings to this “typical” boot and adjust thetwo bindings to release as close as practical to theReference Torque in Table [A]. Use the ReferenceTorque corresponding to Skier Code [L] for the6Adult binding, [J] for Junior binding, and [E] for theChild 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 withthe clean Reference Binding and then the lubricatedReference Binding in both twist and forward lean(only one direction in twist is required for the cleanbinding).

8. Set aside any boots for which the lubricated TestResult is more than 20% less than the clean TestResult in the same direction of release or the lubri-cated Test Result in any direction of release is out-side of the Inspection Range provided in Table [A]for Skier Code used to set up the ReferenceBinding (L, J, or F).

9. Repeat the visual check on all boots that have beenset 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 equipment and lubricatethe binding before returning it to service.

The use of detergent is limited to testing only! Formaintenance cleaning please use WATER ONLY!

INSEASON SAMPLING AND INSPECTIONThe Inseason Inspection is a test of complete systemsand all the procedures used by the rental staff to as-semble and adjust the system. The program uses ran-dom samples of rental inventory taken at routine inter-vals. Any sampling program that gives every unit of in-ventory the same chance as every other of being pickedis valid.

Sample FrequencyRandom sampling is conducted throughout the entireseason. Frequency is as follows:

1. After 7 days of operation.

2. If the sample passes the next sampling is taken after another 7 days 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 in-stituted until two consecutive samples pass, at which point weekly sampling resumes.

Sample Size - Sample size is 5% of inventory but not less than 16 normore than 80 units as noted in Table [B]. Sample sizeis based on average daily output. If rental output dropsbelow 50% of capacity over the sampling period, thesample size can be reduced proportionately.

INSEASON INSPECTION1. Take a random sample of the rental inventory as

determined by Table [B]. Take half the sample frominventory as it is either rented or returned and the remainder from inventory available for rental.

2. The returned samples are tested with the last costumer’s data, the other samples adjust to randomly selected skier data. Consider already applied Correction Factors.

3. Wipe the boot clean and cycle the boot/binding systems at least once in each direction.

4. Test sample units in Twist (one direction only) and Forward Lean.

5. Compare the Test Results with the Inspection Rangefor the appropriate Skier Code, see ISO 11088 Release/Retention Adjustment Chart (page 63).

6. If the results are within the Inspection Range, onevalue above to one value below the reference value,the unit passes.

7. If the results are outside Inspection Range butwithin the In-Use Range, two values above to two values below the reference value, count the unit asa Class I Deviation.

8. If the results are outside the In-Use Range, countthe unit as a Class II Deviation.

9. Check elastic travel and visually inspect the skibrake function, interface areas between boot andbinding, including AFD, lug height adjustment (ifappropriate), and forward pressure. Count anydeficiencies as Class I Deviations.

10.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 detectedthe sample fails and daily sampling must be con-ducted until the problem which led to the failedsample is found and corrected. See page 64 forTroubleshooting Procedures following a FailedInseason Inspection.

11. Record the date the sample was tested, the number of units tested the number of Class I andClass II Deviations, whether the sample passed orfailed and any actions taken. There is no need torecord the identity of units tested or actual TestResults.

RENTAL/DEMO OF PARTIAL SYSTEMSMany shops rent their customers partial ski equipmentsystems. Boots only if customers own their own skiswith bindings, or skis and bindings if the customersown their own boots.

Additionally some shops utilize on-hill “demo days” asa means by which new products can be tested andevaluated by potential buyers.

In order to offer these skiers the same level of care asthat afforded under the preceding procedures, thefollowing guidelines should be used:

RENTAL OF SKIS / BINDINGS ONLY:CUSTOMER - OWNED BOOTSAlthough the retail test procedure may be applied inthis case, it is often impractical to require actual systemtesting, especially in on-hill situations. In lieu of retailtesting, the following procedures may be employed:

1. The ski/binding system to be rented or demoedshould be tested “pre-season” using a boot whichpasses the ELAN Boot Visual Inspection.

2. The skier’s boot should also pass the Visual Inspec-tion. If any questions exist regarding the quality ofthe boot, retail-type testing should be used.

3. The binding should be adjusted and its indicatorsset per current ELAN recommendation.

4. A full record noting appropriate customer informationand binding settings should be kept by the individualor organization responsible for the adjustment.

5. After seven days of use, the ski/binding systemshould be tested according to the In-Season Inspection Procedures previously described.

NOTE: for U.S. and Canada:

Signatures by both the customer and ELAN CertifiedMechanic are required on all shop forms to qualify forthe ELAN Dealer Indemnify Program.

Boot-Handling and TestingVISUAL INSPECTION OF SKIBOOTSIn assembling a system for the skier, it is the responsi-bility of the shop to inspect and evaluate each equip-ment component. This inspection checklist should befollowed before any mounting or adjusting is performed.

Ideally, they should be posted and used on the salesfloor while the customer is still in the shop so that anydeficiencies can be explained on the spot.

In retail, boots must pass all four points of this inspectionbefore being accepted for use. In rental, this inspectionis the first step in the “preseason boot test procedure”.

1. CHECK TYPE, SIZE AND OVERALL CONDITIONS

• Is the performance level appropriate for the skier?

• Is the size correct (SINGLE CODE, bootsole length)?

• Is all hardware intact and in working order?

• Is the boot free of excessive or asymmetric wear?

• Is the boot free of dirt or sole warp?

2. CHECK MATERIAL• Binding contact surfaces require a high quality hard,

low-friction material. Check both lower shell and anyseparately attached inserts.

• If you can easily scratch the surface of the sole withyour fingernail, that’s an indication of extremely softmaterial that can degrade system performance.

3. CHECK CONDITION OF BINDING CONTACT SURFACES, TOE AND HEEL

• Any scratches or other roughness should not bedeeper than 1 mm.

• Check for any rocks, gum, or other foreign matterstuck to the sole.

4. VERIFY BOOTSOLE DIMENSIONS• Skiboots must meet international standard

specifications.

• Use the Boot Rental Indicator to determine whether wear is excessive. The most critical dimension for ELAN bindings is the front surface and height of the boot toe. Any boots worn past the indicated amountsshould be repaired or not used with ELAN bindings.

THE ELAN RENTAL BOOT INDICATORArt. Nr. E 162 617This rental boot device is a multifunction-tool:

1. Sole length: Put the boot in the device and slide thetoe stop up to the boot toe.Read sole length in the window, used for ELAN rental bindings: the SINGLE CODE (see pict 60).

2. Boot sole wear: The standardized interfaces (contact boot sole with solelugs) are important in thefunctioning of ELAN bindings.

3. Boot toe bottom: Excessive wear is indicated if thelower edge of the front surface is at or above thebottom step on the appropriate child (C 2) or adult(A 2) post (see pict 61).

4. Boot toe ledge height: With the toe stop against theboot toe, the level of the toe ledge should be at orabove the top of the appropriate post, “Child” (C1)or “Adult” (A1) (see pict 61). Replace toe pads if worn.

5. Heel height and wear: Check this boot standard withthe same procedure used for the toe. The heelposts (A 3) + (C 3) are located at the rear of thedevice (see pict 62).

6. The marks “A/C” help to select a “Child” boot froman “Adult” by indicating the standardized sole width.

NOTE:Any boot which passes points 3, 4 and 5, as well asconforming to the Visual Inspection Checklist, may beaccepted for use with ELAN bindings.

Boots which fail any point should be repaired orreplaced.

These checks apply only to boots used with ELANbindings. Consult other binding manufacturers for theirused boot specifications.

CLEAN VS. LUBRICATED SKI BOOT TESTThis test is designed to determine the influence of agiven boot on the release characteristic of a binding. It should be performed on boots not meeting all thepoints of the ELAN boot visual inspection criteria, or if measured release values fall outside the system“inspection” tolerance. It is seen as the “last chance”for a boot to qualify before getting eliminated frominventory.

1. Clean the boot(s) to be tested with soap and water.Allow to dry.

2. Select an appropriate ELAN “reference” binding thathas displayed release values within the inspectiontolerance on the ELAN Adjustment Chart. Clean thebinding’s boot contact surfaces with soap and waterand allow to dry.

3. Test the binding and boot in Twist and Forward Leanat a mid-scale indicator value (Only one direction oftwist is required).

4. In a further test run lubricate all boot/binding contactareas with soapy water. Retest in Twist and ForwardLean.

5. Results of each lubricated test should be within 20%of the corresponding results when tested clean. Anyboot which fails this test should not be used with aELAN binding.

Maintenance - Service VISUAL INSPECTION OF BINDING(ELAN brand)

In assembling a system for the skier, it is the responsi-bility of the shop to inspect and evaluate each equip-ment component. This inspection checklist should befollowed before any mounting or adjusting is performed.

Ideally, they should be posted and used on the salesfloor while the customer is still in the shop so that anydeficiencies can be explained on the spot.

CHECK SUITABILITY• Is the binding model appropriate for the skier’s ability?

• The binding must be compatible with the customer’s boot/ski.

• The skier’s release/retention setting should fall withinthe binding’s adjustment range. Additionally, we re-commend that the skier's setting not be closer thanone number from the minimum or maximum settingson the binding in order to allow for future readjustment.

• Are the mounting screw lengths appropriate for the ski being used?

CHECK THE CONDITION OF BINDING• Are all parts present and in working order?

• Is the AFD surface smooth and secure?If not, it should be replaced.

• Are all mounting screws present or tight?

• Does the binding show signs of contamination?

• Has proper periodic lubrication been performed?Dried out or corroded bindings can function improperly.

RETAIL TESTINGCompletion and documentation of the following RetailTest Procedures is recommended for U.S.: requiredunder the terms of the ELAN Dealer Indemnity Program.

These tests should be conducted any time work is per-formed on a ski/boot/binding system that may affectits release values. The procedure applies to all ELANalpine bindings, new as well as used.

1. Follow ELAN procedures for inspection, mounting,adjustment, and maintenance as appropriate.

2. Confirm that toe and heel indicator values matchthose specified on the actual ELAN Adjustment Chart.

3. Using a calibrated testing device, according to its in-structions for use, “exercise” the binding by releasingit at least once in each direction (clock-wise andcounterclockwise at the toe, vertically at the heel).

Then measure Twist and Forward Lean Torque Values.The middle quantitative value of 3 releases ineach direction should be used as the test result.

4. Compare Twist and Forward Lean test results withthe System Inspection Ranges on the actual ELANAdjustment Chart.

5. If any test results fall outside the System InspectionRange, consult ELAN Trouble-shooting Procedureswhich follow this section.

6. With testing complete, the ELAN Certified Mechanicmust complete and sign the work-shop ticket. Besure the Final Indicator Settings are correctly shownthere.

The workshop ticket should simply reflect that thesystem has “passed all tests” or that “all manufacturer’sprocedures have been completed”.

REPLACING THE HEEL GLIDE INSERTS ER 17.0 FREEFLEX PRO:Open the heel- locking lever and pull off the heel back-wards. Remove the inserts and mount the new ones -Art. No. 162 803 (pict 63).

Lubricate the new inserts with grease, clean the heeltrack, and slide the heel back into the track. Lock thelocking lever into the same position it was before.

For remounting the brake it is necessary that the cross-bolt of the brake is located under the hooks of the heeltrack. The brake has to be in the upright-brakingposition (pict 64).

SPAREPART-IDENTIFICATIONMost of the replaceable parts have an article number(E 000 000) imprinted on the bottom. Reference thisnumber when you order spare-parts to prevent confusion.

TAPPINGELAN recommends tapping the drilled binding holes of any ski before mounting. There is a never-endingdiscussion among the mechanics if this is really necessary. But the pros are convincing:• smooth and easy mounting

• reduced risk of stripping a screw

• same momentum adjustment of the screwdriverregardless of the ski material

• increased mounting quality/precision

• fewer pull outs

• Do not use solvents at all!

• High pressure cleaning is not recommended. It might have the negative side effect of washing away the lubricating films.

LUBRICATING THE TOE PIECEER 17.0 TOE

• Lubricate the adjustment screw and the guides of themain spring in the housing with the Service-Grease-Spray.

ELAN Sympro - ESP System:• In case of friction in the track system:

Mark the toe position, open the SP hand lever andslide the toe piece off.

• Dry-clean the track and the toe guide base gentlyusing a plastic brush.

• Then lubricate the locking mechanism at both sides of the toe guide base (use grease, see pict 66).

• Lubricate also both sides of the track guide over the entire length (use grease).

LUBRICATING THE HEELALL ESP-BINDINGS• Mark heel position, open the hand lever and slide the

heel off backwards. At the ESP 10.0 and ESP 7.5 theguide lock has to be opened with a screwdriver (pict 63) to get the binding off.

LUBRICATE

• The edge of the release cam under the heel lug as shown in the pict 68.

• Both sides of the heel track (inside), over the entirelength.

• The bearings of the opened hand lever on both sides(pict 69).

• The guiding channel of the release setting adjustment screw.

After finishing the heel lubrication slide on the heel andlock it in its original position.

EL 4.5LUBRICATE

• Both sides of the heel track (inside), over the entirelength.

• The contact areas between housing and the release cam on the frontside an the backside as shown in pict 70 and 71.

NOT TO BE LUBRICATEDThe locking element and the corresponding holes inthe heel track should be cleaned, but not lubricated.This could prevent dirt accumulation in this area, whichcould interfere with the ease of handling.

TEST YOUR DRILL TEMPLATEA worn or damaged drill template could create a lot oftrouble. Please check your templates periodically:

1. Position the fully extended drill template on a discarded ski.

2. Turn the clamping lever to open the clamping jawsof the mounting template.

3. Position the template properly on the ski so that theboot center marking is aligned with the mountingpoint described on the ski.

4. Let go of the clamping lever. The template clampsautomatically.

5. Drill all the holes.

6. Remove the mounting template and clean the ski.

7. Measure the holes with a slide gauge.

8. The distance of the screw holes to the edge of theski must be equal for each pair of related holes. The deviation must not be more than 1 mm.

9. The mounting template must be discarded if greaterdeviations occur!

REPAIR OF DAMAGED MOUNTINGHOLES OR BROKEN SCREWSFor repairing damaged holes, we suggest our special“Repair Set” – Art. Nr. E 162 127.

It consists of a hollow drill bit and plastic inserts (pict 72).

You can extract broken screws too. Remove the binding from the ski.

Drill with the hollow drill through the bushing of theappropriate drill template and drive in the plastic insert.Mount the binding again (pict 73).

SEALING OLD MOUNTING HOLESFor sealing old holes you can use wood-plugs or plasticplugs (Art. Nr. E 160 857), if not otherwise specified bythe ski manufacturer.

DETERMINING YOUR SKIER TYPE IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

Your Skier Type, height, weight, age and boot sole length are used by the shop technician to determine the release/retention settings for your bindings. Consult these descriptions to select your classification. Be sure to provideaccurate information. Errors increase your risk of injury.

TYPE ICautious skiing on smooth

slopes of gentle to moderate pitch.

Skiers who designate themselvesas Type I receive lower than average release/retention settings.This corresponds to an increasedrisk of inadvertent binding releasein order to gain releasability in afall. This type also applies to entrylevel skiers uncertain of their classification.

TYPE IISkiers who designate themselvesas Type II receive average release/retention settings appropriate formost recreational skiing.

TYPE IIIFast skiing on slopes of

moderate to steep pitch.

Skiers who designate themselvesas Type III receive higher thanaverage release/ retention settings.This corresponds to decreasedreleasability in a fall in order to gaina decreased risk of inadvertentbinding release.Type III settings should not be usedby skiers of less than 22 kg/48 lbs.

Skiers not classified as Types I or III.

If from experience, you have been unsatisfied with the release/retention settings that result from your skier classification, mention this to your binding technician.

Release/Retention Adjustment Table

1. Determine the Skier Code by locating the skier’sweight in the first column and the skier’s height inthe second column. If the height and weight are noton the same line select the Skier Code closer to thetop of the chart.

2. a The Skier Code found in step 1 is for Type I skiers.For Type II skiers move down the chart toward thebottom one Skier Code. For Type III skiers movedown two Skier Codes.

2. b If the skier is age 50 or older or under 10 move upthe chart one Skier Code toward the top. For skiers 13 kg/29 lbs and under, no further correction is required.

3. Find the column that corresponds to the skier’s bootsole measurement in millimeters.

4. The value where the Skier Code and the boot solemeasurement intersect is the initial indicator settingfor the skier.If the intersection of the row and column falls in ablank box, do not move up or down the chart. Move sideways on the same row to the nearest boxshowing a visual indicator setting.

5. This value should be recorded on the workshop formunder Initial Indicator Settings.

Issued in accordance to ASTM and ISO 11088. Note: for proper adjustment, please look up the annual technicalmanuals of the binding manufacturer. Use calibrated ski bindings test equipment!

MECHANICAL SYSTEM TESTING1. Adjust the bindings toe and heel indicators to the

Initial Indicator Setting.

2. Use a calibrated torque measuring device accord-ing to the instructions provided by the supplier.

3. Exercise that binding by release it at least once inall direction.

4. Three tests are required in each direction. The middle quantitative value of the three releasesshould be used as the test result.

5. Using the previously determined Skier Code slideacross the chart to the column representing twisttorque reference values.

6. If the test result is within one torque value naboveto one torque value below the reference value, it isin the Inspection Range. These results are accep-table and no further adjustment is necessary.

7. If the test result is within two torque values aboveto two torque values below the reference value, itis in the In-Use Range. The indicator value shouldbe readjusted and the system retested so that itfalls in the Inspection Range. Record the correctedindicator value in the box for final release/retentionsettings.

8. If the test result value falls out of the In-Use Rangethe system should be thoroughly inspected for thefollowing:1. Correct forward pressure2. Correct Sole-hold down adjustment

(junior bindings)3. Worn or contaminated AFD’s4. Out of standard boot soles

No work can be performed on the system until these problems are corrected.

9. Check the heel for forward lean the same way,determining the middle quantitative value of threevertical releases. Adjust if necessary.

10. Record final indicator settings on the workshopform in the area for final release/retention settings.

TYPE I SKIERS

• Cautious skiing on smooth slopes of gentle tomoderate pitch.

Skiers who designate themselves as Type I receivelower that average release/retention settings. Thiscorresponds to an increased risk of inadvertent binding release in order to gain releaseability in a fall.This type also applies to entry-level skiers incertain of their classification.

TYPE II SKIERS

• Skiers not classified as Type I or Type III.

Skiers who designate themselves as Type II receiveaverage release/retention settings appropriate for most recreational skiing.

TYPE III SKIERS

• Fast skiing on slopes of moderate to steep pitch.

Type III settings should not be used by skiers of lessthan 22 kg/48 lbs.Skiers who designate themselves as Type III receivehigher than average release/retention settings. This corresponds to decreased releasability in a fall inorder gain a decreased risk of inadvertent bindingrelease.

NOTE:If the skier reports release/retention problems see thechapter “troubleshooting release/retention problems”,page 65 in the manual.

Skiers who desire release/retention settings lower than Type I may designate themselves (I-). Type I- is inappropriate for skiers 17 kg/38 lbs or less.Type I- -Move up the table one skier code.

Skiers who desire release/retention settings higher thanType III may designate themselves (III+). Type III+ -Move down the table three skier codes.

Skiers may select skier type designations that aredifferent for twist and forward lean. In such a case, the selection shall be indicated by a slash separatingtwist and forward lean selections, in that order forexample, K/L, K for the toe and L for the heel.

Troubleshooting release/retention problemsIF THE SKIER REPORTS A RELEASE ORRETENTION PROBLEM:• Re-inspect the equipment to make sure that all com-

ponents are in good condition and function properly.

• Test the system to make sure that it is calibrated properly.

• Have the skier use the “Classify Yourself” materials to make certain that the correct Skier Type has beenselected.

If component inspections and a calibration checkdo not reveal a problem the skier may requestingdiscretionary settings.

INFORMATION FOR SKIERS REQUESTINGDISCRETIONARY SETTINGS.1. Your normal release/retention settings comply with

ISO/ASTM standards. Although these guidelines may be inappropriate for some types of competitive skiingor competition training, they are believed to provide an effective compromise between the release and retention needs of most recreational skiers.

2. Adhering to these guidelines may help to reduce the risk of injuries resulting from improper release/ retention setting selection. However, skiing involves inherent risks. Injury can result from simply falling down, impact with an object, or from many other actions. Many injuries are unrelated to the function of the release system. Furthermore, even a properly adjusted binding cannot protect the skier in all situations.

3. Difficulties with release or retention may be unrelated to release/retention settings and can result from your skiing style, the incompatibility of your boots and bindings, or wear, damage, or contamination of a component of the release system. Be sure to describeyour circumstances to the shop technician and to authorize recommended inspections and repairs before proceeding.

4. If you have been dissatisfied with the release/retentionsettings that result from your normal skier classification,you may wish to consider changing your skier classifi-cation, designating skier type classifications that aredifferent for twist and forward lean, or request dis-cretionary release/retention settings that are higher or lower than the normal range.Lower settings correspond to an increase in the risk of inadvertent binding release in order to gain in-creased releasability in a fall.Higher settings correspond to a decrease in releas-ability in a fall in order to gain a decreased risk of inadvertent binding release.

5. Although the shop technician may help you to record your choice on the appropriate form, the final decisionon your release/retention settings is yours.

CREATING AN INFORMED CONSUMERCustomers, whether rental or retail, come to your shopwith all levels of knowledge. The range extends fromtrue experts who really know the sport and theirequipment needs, to never-ever skiers who know theymust rely totally on your expertise.

A key role played by a good shop, and a requirementin the U.S. and Canada under the “ELAN RetailerIndemnity Program”, is providing information, guidanceand instruction to all customers.

SPECIFICALLY THIS MEANS:

• Providing product and suitability information to helpcustomers make an informed choice of which equip-ment models are right for them. The amount and typeof advice given will naturally be different for eachcustomer.

• The shop’s responsibility is to be sure that each product sold or serviced is appropriate for the needsof its user.

• The shop must provide accurate information aboutthe nature of the sport, and what equipment can and cannot do. Inform customers that there are risksinherent in the sport of skiing that no binding canprotect against. It is imperative that each customerbe informed there are limitations to the protectiontheir equipment can afford and that injuries can anddo occur in the normal course of skiing.

• Under no circumstances should you make any warranties or assertions about the customers safety on the hill. Speaking simply, no binding is “absolutelysafe”. Well designed shop record forms address the disclosure and agreement subject very directly and professionally. Use them to your advantage by makingsure customers read and understand the form beforesigning it.

The following points must be explained to all customers (rental or retail) before they leave the shop with their equipment (consumer awareness checklist):

• Go through your workshop ticket and fully explain each task that has been performed by the shop.

• Explain how to use bindings and equipment. Letcustomers put on their boots and step in and out of the binding if needed.

• Remind skiers to clean their boots and bindings eachtime before stepping in. Tell them that they should always walk through clean snow before entering the bindings.

• Deliver the “Instructions For Use” booklet to retail customers. It is an important document and is essential for warranty service.

• Advise the customers to return to your shop periodi-cally for maintenance and a system inspection. The service interval is once each 15–20 days of skiing, or annually, whichever comes first.

• Recommend care in transport: heels closed, bindingscovered.

• Recommend care in storage: dry, moderate temper-ature, heels closed, boots not in bindings.

• Explain that bindings and boots must be kept clean for optimal function.

• Skiers should make a visual inspection of their systembefore each use, including the AFD pad which shouldbe checked for wear, damage or loss. It is also wiseto visually verify the release indicator value.

NOTE:• The workshop ticket must be read, initialed and signed

by the customer. If the customer is a minor, his or her signature should be obtained, along with that ofthe parent or guardian. If a parent or guardian is notavailable, the equipment should only be released ifthe proper signatures have been obtained.

• Remember, the customer’s signature is required intwo places under the terms of the ELAN RetailerIndemnity Program. In order to avoid misunderstand-ings with the customer, please inform them of thisrequirement when equipment is taken in for service.

• If the customer is not the end user, every attempt should be made to make certain all aspects of the system are explained to the user, and to obtain his/her signature on the workshop ticket.

ABOUT TESTINGTesting is required for all ELAN retail and rental systemsas specified in this manual. Many consumers viewsystem testing as a valuable service provided by pro-fessional shops. They expect their equipment will beproperly tested, and are willing to pay for it. On theother hand, some customers may be reluctant toaccept any additional costs. They may be especiallyresistant to charges made by the shop for testing andinspections of equipment which is being serviced.Following are some communication techniques thathave been found to be helpful:

• Post your shop’s testing policy. A clear statement,prominently displayed, will reassure customers thatthey’re all receiving the same treatment. Consider atext similar to the following:“Industry standards have defined shop testing pro-cedures for your ski /boot/binding system. We’reproud to offer this service since it is in your bestinterest. While even the best ski equipment cannoteliminate all risks of injury, we strive to maximizeyour enjoyment of the sport by verifying the settingsand function of your equipment. The extra time andexpense of system testing will pay off for you in abetter skiing experience.”

• Make your service shop a showplace. Place yourtesting bench in a prominent location. Many customers like to know what kind of workyou’re doing for them. If you get a question, offer to let the skier watch.

• Proudly display diplomas and certificates receivedby your mechanics. Make their expertise known toyour customers.

• Above all, don’t apologize for testing. It’s a valuableand necessary service well worth the cost.

ABOUT TESTING DEVICESASTM and ISO have defined specifications for skiequipment system testing devices. Only those devicesthat meet these recognized performance standardsshould be used to test systems that include ELANbindings. You should make it the responsibility of yourtesting device supplier to verify that their device fulfillsall ASTM/ISO requirements.

Each device has its own unique features and some willfit your shop’s needs better than others. Therefore, wecan’t recommend a single device as universally “thebest”.

The following points, however, can be used as a guide-line to getting the most out of your choice:

• Training is very important in the use of any device. Read the instructions thoroughly, and practice!

• To insure reproducibility from one technician to another a “Multiple Operator Reproducibility Test” should be performed by all users of the testing device.This simply requires that all technicians join in a “round robin” exercise where each tests the same system with the same test device. The goal is to verify that the testing techniques are the same and that all test results are comparable. Speak with your testing device supplier for the detailson how to conduct this program.

• Beware of “black box” calculations that may be per-formed by some electronic testers, the calculations performed to arrive at an indicator value or determinean appropriate Torque Range could be based on oldstandards. Check the current ELAN Adjustment Chartfor applicable values.

• Periodic calibration of these devices is important, andthis information should be documented in your shoprecords.

• Most important, never blindly trust the values givenby any test device. This is just one tool to use in yourevaluation of a complete release/retention system.

MAINTENANCEInform every customer of the simple fact that periodicmaintenance is needed. If they don’t bring their gearback for regular function checks, it is unreasonable toexpect it to work as designed. Studies have shownthat binding systems which have not been properlymaintained have serious injury rates very much higherthan those which have.

Following this simple, logical guideline is the single mosteffective way to decrease serious injuries dramatically.Have the system serviced by a ELAN certified technicianonce each 15–20 days of skiing, or annually, whichevercomes first.

Today’s equipment may help reduce certain hazards involved in the sport, but the risk of injury remains. The ELAN Retailer IndemniticationProgram is designed to help formalize serviceprocedures and minimize the risks to both youand your customer.Under the plan, ELAN will defend and indemnitythe Authorized Retailer in bodily injury claimswhen certain conditions are met, including following all ELAN required procedures.The program benefits are not without limits,indemnification is not insurance, and it does not eliminate the need for a shop to have adequate insurance of its own. But,for the shop willing to make the investment indoing a quality job as an assembler of equipmentsystems from components, it is a key element intheir Risk Management plan.This is only a summary of the ELAN RetailerIndemnify Program, complete requirementsare listed in the current ELAN Binding Indemnification Agreement. You should readthis Agreement carefully.Retailer benefits under the terms of the plan arebased, in part, on the adequacy of the servicework performed by the mechanic. For this reason, thorough employee training isessential. This manual, and technical seminarsare presented by ELAN to help define appro-priate shop procedures.

It is the responsibility of the ELAN AuthorizedRetailer to see that all technical and productinformation materials provided by DalbelloELAN Sports USA / ELAN Monark Sports Ltd.Canada are ordered and available in their shop.This should be done with the aid of your ELANRepresentative while placing your ELAN pre-season binding order.

RETAILER AGREEMENTS AND INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENTSBoth Agreements must be completed annually. Thisyears Retailer and Indemnification Agreements shouldalready be completed, if not please contact customerservice or your sales rep. Agreements and CertificationExams should be received at Dalbello ELAN SportsUSA / ELAN Monark Sports Ltd. Canada no later than December 31, 2009. An administration fee of $10.00 U.S. per year for eachcertified mechanic (max. $ 60 U.S. per location) will becharged by ELAN. If a retailer loses his only ELANcertified mechanic, he must notify Dalbello ELAN SportsUSA / ELAN Monark Sports Ltd. Canada in writingwithin 48 hours.

SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENTSThese basic requirements help assure that the endproduct which is delivered to the customer is appro-priate.

• Signed, current copies of the ELAN Authorized Retailer Agreement and the ELAN Bindings Indemni-fication Agreement must be on file with Dalbello ELANSports USA / ELAN Monark Sports Ltd. Canada.

• The shop must adhere to 2009/10 ELAN proceduresfor selection, mounting, adjusting, testing and/orservicing of system components as detailed in thismanual.

• The actual ELAN retention/release adjustment, or itsequivalent, must be used.

• Mechanics must receive full training, including hands-on practice in the use of system testing devices, asprovided by the testing device supplier. A multipleoperator reproducibility test should be completed andresults documented by the shop each season.

• The shop must maintain records of all retail/rental testing and/or service work for 5 years or for the length of the statute of limitations in the state where your business resides, whichever is longer. Bear in mind that the statute of limitations for minors begins only when they come of legal age.

PAPERWORK REQUIREMENTSELAN Retail/Rental Workshop tickets have demon-strated their usefulness in the legal system, and westrongly recommend their use.

At the very minimum, records must contain the following information:

• Identification of shop and customer: name, address, phone.

• Date of transaction or work.

• Information on which binding settings are based: skier height, weight, skier type, age, boot sole length.

• A full description of the equipment being serviced or rented (skis/boots/bindings), including but not limited to brand, model, size and serial numbers.

• Skier code, “Initial” binding release/retention settings,and final settings.

• Signed, dated statement from the ELAN CertifiedMechanic that all manufacturer’s procedures havebeen completed, and the signature of the mechanicwho performed the service (if they are differentindividuals):

• An agreement dated and signed by the customer, thelanguage of which is substantially similar to the currentELAN form. This agreement must include the followingpoints:

• User verification of skier information.

• WARNING that there are risks of injury inherent in thesport of skiing and that the customer accepts thoserisks.

• DISCLOSURE of the equipment’s limitations, that it will not release, retain or prevent injury under all circumstances, and is no guarantee of the user’s safety.

Be sure to check suitability and mounting hole patternbefore making a change of model.

• When possible, the replacement should be of thesame model as the returned product.

• If the same model is not available, the shop should contact the authorized ELAN distributor warranty department for authorization before a more expensivemodel is selected for replacement.

• If a replacement is made from retailer stock, thecomplete binding set should be returned to theauthorized ELAN distributor as soon as possible.

The packing list must clearly state which model wasused for replacement.

Indemnification, Insurance, and your liabilities.

INDEMNIFICATIONIndemnification simply means that someone agrees to reimburse you for certain costs. In the ski industry it normally means that provided you fully follow themanu-facturer’s requirements and install and adjustthe binding system correctly, the manufacturer or dis-tributor will provide a defense and pay any judgmentwhich may be entered against you if you are the sub-ject of a claim or suit by a customer who claims tohave suffered bodily injury as a result of using certainequipment.

The key here is you must be able to prove you properlyperformed the service and properly represented theproduct. If you do not, you will not be entitled to adefense or indemnification in the event of a claim.

YOUR PERSONAL LIABILITYIt’s simple: If you make a mistake which causes harmto another, you can be held liable for it.

Be very careful not to make verbal warranties thatextend beyond those made by ELAN. Read the manufacturer’s literature and warranties carefully. If a feature or benefit is not mentioned there, it is notoffered by the manufacturer.

SHOP LIABILITY INSURANCENo indemnification program is a substitute for liabilityinsurance.

Common sense dictates that you should have an in-surance policy that covers your shop and employeesfor commercial general liability and completed opera-tions. Check with your insurance broker.

SHOP PROCEDURES TO REDUCELEGAL EXPOSURERisk Management has become a very important areain virtually every industry. In today’s world it is moreimportant than ever to do as much as possible to re-cognize how and where we might be exposing our-selves to a potentially serious problem.

If these procedures are followed properly, both theskier and the industry are well served. In the event of a mishap, the programs documentation and recordkeeping system will provide strong evidence of workperformed.

YOUR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE ELANRETAILER INDEMNIFICATION PROGRAMSelecting equipment for your customer.

• Make sure the products are suitable for the skiersheight, weight, shoe size and level of ability.

• Always make sure your recommendations are con-sistent with the manufacturer’s product description,representation, and specifications.

BINDING SELECTIONGenerally, the idea that top of the line products offerthe greatest margins for safety as well as performanceand durability is correct – provided the skier fits theweight range of the product.

Combine this knowledge with our weight and ability re-commendations for the skier when selecting a binding.Do not sell a product with the idea that the customerwill grow into it. If a product is not suitable for theircurrent requirements make another choice.

Avoid the temptation to do the customer a favor by re-writing the rules. More often than not, all you will do iscause problems and incur liability.

At the time of delivery to the customer, the bindingsmust be accompanied by all the informational materialssupplied by the manufacturer, i. e., pamphlets, forms,etc.

The product must be fully demonstrated to either theintended user or their parent or legal guardian if thechild is a minor.

This includes instructions on inspecting the low frictionsurfaces, cleaning the boot sole, entry of the binding,re-entry after releasing on the hill and exiting the system.

You must also explain what care and maintenance theskier or their parent or legal guardian is responsible for,as well as when to return the equipment to your shopfor a thorough function check. Routine maintenance isthe most cost effective thing a skier can do to protecttheir well being.

BOOT SELECTIONMake sure the customer’s boot choice is consistentwith their level of skiing and that the boots meet allcurrent DIN or ISO standards.

SKI SELECTIONTake care to ensure that the skier’s intended use of thechosen equipment is consistent with the manufacturer'srecommendation for the skier's weight and level ofskiing. This is another area where regular maintenanceis critical.

RACING (X) BINDINGSCertain binding models are produced by ELAN eachyear for the exclusive use of qualified competitorsunder the supervision of ELAN Technical Specialists.These bindings are not covered by either the ELANWarranty or any Dealer Indemnification Program. Werecommend you decline to service them, and warnagainst their use.

In a similar vein some skiers may wish to use retentionsettings which are excessive. DIN settings over 10 donot satisfy current industry standards and should notbe used. Adjustments exceeding this range are madeon one’s own risk.

COMPLETING THE WORK ORDER WITHTHE CUSTOMER It is critical that certain basic information be includedon all shop work orders.

Once the customer has selected equipment or descri-bed the repair or service to be performed, the technicianmust ask the customer to complete a portion of theWork Order Form which includes their Name, Address,Phone number, Weight, Height, Age, Sex, and Skiingability.

The skier must then sign indicating that they have read,understood, and agreed to the terms of your Rental/Repair agreement (this agreement must comply with

Risk Management

72

SK

IB

IND

ING

ELAN Dealer Indemnity Program requirements).

It is also important that the customer be informed thatthey will be expected to verify in writing that the indi-cator settings agree with what is written on the form,and that they have been instructed in the use and main-tenance of their equipment, and fully understand it.

This procedure must be completed before the trans-action is consummated. Remember, the customer hasthe option of going to another store if the terms of thecontract are not acceptable to them, and under nocircumstances should the transaction go any furtherwithout their signature. The end user, or their agent,must sign the incoming work order.

SHOP PROCEDURES SUMMARYFor in depth details, see the “Binding Installation”section of this manual.

• Follow ELAN procedures for inspection, mounting,adjustment and maintenance as appropriate.

• Confirm that toe and heel indicator values matchthose specified on the actual ELAN Adjustment Chart.

• Using a calibrated testing device, according to the manufacturer’s instructions for use, “exercise” the binding by releasing it at least once in each direction (clockwise and counterclockwise at the toe, verticallyat the heel). Then measures Twist and Forward Lean Torque Values. The middle quantitative value of 3 releases in each direction should be used as the test result.

• Compare Twist and Forward Lean test, results withthe System Inspection Ranges on the actual ELANAdjustment Chart.

• After the equipment is adjusted to the skier’s needs according to the manufacturer’s standards, the certi-fied technician signs the form indicating that the workhas been completed according to the manufacturer’sspecifications.

• With testing complete, the ELAN Certified Technicianmust complete and sign the workshop ticket. Be surethe Final Indicator Settings are correctly shown there.The workshop ticket should simply reflect that the system has “passed all tests” or that “all manufac-turer’s procedures have been completed”.

PROCEDURES FOR RETAIL CUSTOMERPICK-UPAll that’s involved is properly informing the skier aboutthe realities of skiing and ski equipment.

• Explain the function and operation of the binding,including a review of the manufacturer’s pamphlet.

• Explain the settings that show in the release settingwindows and how they were derived by referring tothe manufacturer’s release adjustment charts.

• Explain how much proper maintenance of the entire system (boots, bindings and skis) can improve their enjoyment and margins for safety. Also make it clear that skiing, like any sport, has its risks, and equipmentcan not eliminate them.

• Have the customer sign the form again indicating thatthey have been instructed on the use of the equipmentand that they verified that the visual release indicatorson the bindings correspond to the manufacturer’srecommended settings shown on the work orderticket.

ARCHIVING RECORDS• Collect a copy of the technical manual for each and

every binding, boot and ski on the market. Be especially diligent with those you carry or workon regularly.

• Copies of the manufacturer’s customer instructionbooklets.

• Technician employment applications. Make sure theyhave the address of someone who will always knowwhere they can be found.

This can be invaluable if you need the technican as awitness.

• A listing of all technician certifications and their dates.Keep all certification records as well.

• Copies of any pertinent wall charts, customer infor-mation posters, etc.

• A copy of your shop procedures, including trainingmaterials, rental and repair shop practices, andbinding setting charts.

• Copies of rental fleet test data.

This type of supporting documentation can be tremendously useful for your lawyer.

STORAGE OF FORMSAll forms containing the customer’s signature must bekept for a minimum of five years or the term of thestatute of limitations in the state where the injury occurs,or your state, whichever is longer. As a practical matteryou have no idea where or when your customer maysustain an injury on this equipment.

Naturally, should an injury occur, keep the original formin a safe place until any claims are completely resolved.

Risk Management is really just common sense. Do your job well, have integrity, keep your customerswell informed, and keep proper records. Follow thesesimple suggestions and you will limit the likelihood ofproblems.

SKIERS REQUESTING SETTINGS NOTRECOMMENDED BY ELANThe 2009/10 ELAN Release/Retention AdjustmentTable is the only adjustment chart recommended foruse by ELAN dealers during the 2009/10 season.

Some skiers may request settings different from thosein the ELAN Release/Retention Adjustment Table. Mostof these concerns can be addressed by following theprocedures for reclassifying skier type and for trouble-shooting which follow the instructions for using theELAN Release/ Retention Adjustment Table.

ELAN and the ISO/ASTM standards organizations donot recommend the use of release/ retention settingsoutside of these tolerances, but skiers occasionallymay request such settings. ELAN recognizes a skier’sright to choose other settings, but if the skier requestssettings outside of those derived from the normalprocedures for re-classifying skier type and for troubleshooting, the shop may either:

1. Adjust the system to the setting derived from ELAN Release/Retention Adjustment Table and instruct theskier on how to change the setting (if this done, makea note to this effect on the workshop or rental form), or

2. Adjust the system to the skier’s individual request,but only if the technican notes on the workshop orrental form the reason the highter or lower setting wasrequested. Do not in any case adjust the system to arelease/retention value higher than the maximum ac-ceptable setting at the bottom of the ELAN Release/Retention Adjustment Table. The customer mustverify the request for the higher or lower settings bysigning and dating the workshop or rental form bythe reason noted next to the setting request. Theskier must also read and sign a warning, release andindemnity agreement identical to the one printed onthis page. In such cases, the system will only be in-demnified if all other conditions of indemnificationare met and the signed warning, release and indemnityagreement are attached to the completed workshopor rental form.

Use of Non-Recommended SettingsWarning, Release and Indemnity Agreement

I, _________________________________________________________ ,hereby acknowledge that I have been advised by the

_________________________________________ rental shop, salesdepartment, etc.) that settings which I have requested for my

bindings (Model _____________________) is not the setting re-commended by the manufacturer of the bindings for a skierof my height, weight, age and skier type. I understand andacknowledge that there may be an increased risk of injury ordeath to me as a result of my own personal preference forthese binding settings.To the fullest extent allowed by law, I hereby waive andrelease all claims arising from the use of the bindings andrelease from all liability the shop, the distributor and the man-ufacturer, their agents and employees, and I further agree toindemnify them from any and all liability or harm or damageof any kind whatsoever which may result from the use ofthese bindings by myself or anyone I allow to use the bind-ings.

I, the undersigned, have read and understand this liabilityrelease agreement, and agree that it is binding upon me, myheirs, guardians, administrators, assigns, and legal repre-sentatives. If any part of this agreement is held to be invalidor unenforceable, the remainder shall be given full force andeffect.
