4.3| DOWN-HILL MODE
• The correct setting of the binding for the DOWNHILL MODE is explained at paragraph 5.2 of this
manual. This use modality may allow the release of the binding in case of ruinous falls: NEVER SKI
with the binding set for the UP-HILL WALKING MODE in order to avoid the deactivation or exclusion
of the release systems of the binding!
• It is absolute responsibility of the user to decide which behaviour/use modality represents a
MINOR RISK for its own safety and that one of third parties, according to the faced conditions.
• While skiing, an accidental impact or any other particular event, may move the front locking lever of
the binding from the downhill skiing mode to the uphill walking mode. This can happen suddenly and
without any voluntary action of the user: frequently check the position of the front locking lever,
especially in case of accidental impact.
• Move the heel on the stabilized position
shown at PICTURE 18 by rotating the
heel head with the hands. Then rotate
the heel flap towards the ski tail up to
the back end of the rotation range.
• Check that the toe part is in the position
shown at PICTURE 19, ready to receive the
boot, free from ice, snow or other debris. If
toe is not in the proper position, manually
press on the front locking lever in order to
reach the stabilized position shown at
PICTURE 19.
