Lower Assembly
Step 1: Install Urethane Ring
Insert the URETHANE RING into CANT DISK making sure all profiles and tabs of the RING are inserted into the
CANT DISK.A good way to do this is to place the RING on an even, hard surface and push the CANT DISK down
onto it (Figure #1). The Degree of the CANT DISK is indicated by the number of markings found on the outside of the
disk (Figure #3). Available CANT DISKs are: 0, 3, and 6 degrees.
Step 2: Determine Lift Angle and Install Center Disk
One of the huge features of the TD2 is the ability to adjust LiftAngle. Rotate the CANT DISK around the CENTER
DISK to the desired Lift Angle in increments of 5 degrees. There are two Lift Angle Indicators on the CANT DISK that
you line up with the Angle Markings found on the CENTER DISK (Figure #3).
As a general rule you will most likely run the Lift Angle between 90 degrees and your Stance Angle. If you are not sure
where to set your Lift Angle, then we recommend starting with what we call "Traditional" and put it at 90 degrees
(Figure #3).
Make sure the CENTER DISK is fully inserted into the CANT DISK (via the serrated teeth on each part) before
proceeding.

Upper Assembly
Step 4: Install Base Plate and set Stance Angles
Install the BASE PLATE on each Lower Assembly using the three M8-16mm SCREWS. You can read what Stance
Angle you are at by reading the Angle Markings on the CENTER DISK through the Peep Hole found in the BASE
PLATE (see Figure #4). To help read these Angle Markings it is always suggested to place the BASE PLATE in
such a way that the Peep Hole is located at the "low end" of the CANT DISK.
Once your Stance Angle is set, insert and tighten down the three M8-16mm SCREWS in a cross pattern, and make
multiple passes until each screw is at final torque. WARNING: not doing this may cause the BASE PLATE to come
loose. Always check these Screws before using the binding.
Step 3: Install Lower Assembly onto Snowboard
Position the Lower Assemblies onto the board with the appropriate Stance Width (distance between front and rear
binding). Align the corresponding holes of the CENTER DISK with the inserts in the board. Install four of the M6-
16mm SCREWS (Figure #2) into each CENTER DISK and into the board inserts. Make sure to tighten down in a
cross pattern, and make multiple passes until each screw is at its final torque. Use the supplied 5mm Allen Key.
Check to see you get an acceptable amount of thread engagement into the inserts as all boards are not created
equal. There may be situations where you will need either longer or short Screws. Please contact Bomber
Industries for information on how to get these screws.

Step 5 - Fit the Boot to the Binding
"Standard" TD2 Model
A limited number of boots will not fit in the STANDARD TOE ASSEMBLY width. Contact Bomber Industries to
receive instructions on how to make these boots fit.
Move the STANDARD TOE SUB-ASSEMBLY and the STANDARD HEEL SUB-ASSEMBLY inward and outward
until the desired postion is achieve for your boot size. Install the two M6-12mm SCREWS in each assembly and
tighten down. Make sure the heads of the M6-12mm SCREWS are aligned with the same pocket on each sub-
assembly.
Check the boot for fit (TOE CLIP latches securely down onto boot) and re-adjust the sub-assembly positions if
nessesary. Several adjustments may be needed. This adjustment may change as the sole of your boot wears down,
adjust when nessesary. The SET SCREW in the TOE CLIP is an adjustment to allow the user to get their fingers
under the TOE CLIP to lift for release. Set this at its lowest possible height for your boot.
"Step-In" TD2 Model
The Bomber Step-In Snowboard Binding works with Intec step-in compatible hardboots. If you have any questions
about the compatibility of your boots contact the manufacturer of the boots or Bomber Industries.
You need to position the STEP-IN TOE SUB-ASSEMBLY and STEP-IN RECEIVER so that the binding closes firmly
around the base of the boot. To achieve this, make sure the PINS in the INTEC HEELASSEMBLY are lined up with
the PIN HOLES on the STEP-IN RECEIVER (Picture #5A). Test by pushing down firmly with the boot and making
sure both PINS fully extend into the PIN HOLES (Picture #5B). If the PINS do not line-up and do not extend into the
PIN HOLES the binding may be too “tight”. Move either the STEP-IN TOE SUB-ASSEMBLY or STEP-IN
RECEIVER outward one position. If the PINS engage the PIN HOLES but the boot seems loose and “wobbles” in
the binding move the STEP-IN TOE SUB-ASSEMBLY or STEP-IN RECEIVER inward one position. Several
adjustments may be needed to acheive desired fit.

Step 6: Final touches
Install the safety leash on the front binding: put the long end of the leash on the front bail of the Step-In model and
the rear bail of the Standard model. The smaller end of the leash then attaches to your boot.Attach the two ends
once your front foot is in the binding.
Check ALL screws before using the binding each time. Make sure to remove any snow from the socket head of the
bolts before inserting the 5mm key. Not doing so will cause the socket of the screw to strip.
Now go out there and carve it up!
To step-out of the TD2: Gently pull up on your Intec Cable (in the boot) and at the same time apply equal downward
force on the boot. The heel will release and you can walk out of the binding. DO NOT pull up hard on the cable and
pull up on the boot. The PINS will bind/wedge in the STEP-IN RECEIVER and not retract, possibly damaging the
INTEC HEELASSEMBLY.
