Instructions

      Weigh yourself wearing your skiing clothing and boots. Rate your skiing abilities based on beginner, intermediate or advanced rankings. Consult the DIN chart to find the recommended DIN setting for the Dynastar bindings. Dynastar includes a DIN chart in the bindings package. If you no longer have that chart use one of the DIN charts available online.

      Place the skis with the Dynastar bindings onto the flat work bench. Check the current DIN setting by looking at the DIN gauge at the back of the bindings. Dynastar bindings go between two and 16 on the DIN gauge.

      Turn the adjustment screw on the back of the binding with the Phillips screwdriver until the DIN gauge reads the recommended DIN from the chart. Turn clockwise to increase DIN and counterclockwise to decrease DIN. The higher the DIN, the harder to release the binding and the lower, the easier.
