Instructions

    • 1

      Place the ski, base down, on the ski bench and tighten the vise to secure the ski on the work surface.

    • 2

      Consult the Marker chart for hole placement based on the skier's boot size. Use the ski boot as a reference for the measurements.

    • 3

      Drill the holes according to the Marker chart on the top of the ski. Do not go through the ski bottom. Brush off the excess shavings from the drilling from the ski.

    • 4

      Align the toe portion of the binding to the aligned toe holes. Use the attachment screws from the binding kit to screw down onto the ski. Follow the Marker torque recommendations for screwing the bindings onto the ski. Each Marker binding has a different torque recommendation; consult your binding chart for the torque rating.

    • 5

      Align the heel portion of the binding onto the drilled holes and screw into position, again consulting the recommended torque setting.

    • 6

      Repeat Steps 1 through 5 for the other ski.

    • 7

      Place a ski boot into each ski's binding and push down to lock, then press the release button to free. Adjust the DIN setting using a screwdriver, turning to the left or right to tighten or loosen based on your ski ability. Use the Marker DIN chart to get your recommended setting (see "Resources").
