SE ING LIF & CAN
The C TEK Dip Stick enables the repeatable and accurate setting of tilt (independent lift and cant) in an
efficient, real time manner. The C TEK Dip Stick has graduations that, when combined with a differential
measurement, correspond to one degree of lift or cant. Follow the instructions below to achieve repeatable tilt
settings per to your precise requirements.
OE/HEEL LIF
1. Count the exposed graduations on the low end of the Binding Plate. Insert the Dip Stick through a hole
on the low end of the Binding Plate. Count the number of exposed graduations above the Binding Plate.
2. Count the exposed graduations on the high end of the Binding Plate. Insert the Dip Stick through the hole
corresponding to the high end of the Binding Plate which is on the same side as the hole used in Step 1
above. Count the number of exposed graduations above the Binding Plate.
3. The difference in counted graduations is your lift. Subtract the graduations counted in Step 2 from those
counted in Step 1. This is your lift angle in degrees!
CAN
1. Count the exposed graduations on the low side of the plate. Insert the Dip Stick through a hole on the low

2. Count the exposed graduations on the high side of the Binding Plate. Insert the Dip Stick through the hole
corresponding to the high side of the Binding Plate which is on the same end as the hole used in Step 1
above. Count the number of exposed graduations above the Binding Plate.
3. The difference in counted graduations is your cant. Subtract the graduations counted in Step 2 from those

INS ALLA ION & ADJUS MEN
Using Standard Elastomers
1. Mount the Discs to the board. Determine your
stance position. Place the Elastomer disc on the
board. Place a Spherical Nut on top of an O-ring
in the center of the mounting pattern. Place the
mounting disc concentric to the Elastomer disc and
fasten the mounting disc to the snowboard securely
using the included 12mm Mounting Screws and 4mm
Hex Key. Be sure to use all the screws your board
requires. Do not over-tighten the Mounting Screws.
2. Mount the Power Plates to the Discs. Fit the 4
Power Plate pads to the ends of the Power Plates.
Place the Power Plates and elastomer pads centered
on the mounting discs (already attached to the
snowboard) and rotate the Power Plates to your
desired stance angle. Fasten the Power Plate to the
Disc using the 8mm Power Plate Screws and 4mm
Hex Key.
3. Adjust the binding to fit your boot. Use the 4mm Hex Key to adjust the Block positions to hold the boot
firmly. Do this by removing the Boot Size Screws, positioning the Blocks to the appropriate position, and
tightening the Boot Size Screws. The boot should be approximately centered on the Binding Plate. Once
the correct positions are determined, tighten the Boot Size Screws so that they are secure. For the Standard
model, use the 6mm Hex Key to adjust the Toe Lever Screw so that the boot is securely held. Use of the Toe
Lever Screw may not be required to securely hold some boots, in which case it can be removed. For both
the Standard and Step In models, the boot should be held securely when adjusted properly.
4. Set the desired tilt and attach the Binding Plate to the Disc. Using the Spacers and King Pins, affix the
Binding Plates to the Discs. Use an O-Ring on the King Pin on the top side of the Binding Plate. King Pin
and Spacer placement is as follows:
 For low tilt, use the short King Pin with no Spacers.
 For moderate tilt or rise, use the short King Pin with one Spacer.
 For high tilt or rise, use the long King Pin with two Spacers.
 For extreme tilt or rise, use the long King Pin with three Spacers.
 Ensure a minimum Tilt Screw to Binding Plate engagement of 3 turns.
Place the Binding Plate into the Tilt Cups. Use the 6mm Hex Key to tighten the King Pin to the Disc.
Use the 4mm Hex Key to adjust the Binding Plate to the desired tilt by turning the Tilt Screws so that
they each just barely contact the Tilt Cups.* Then turn each Tilt Screw an equal number of turns clockwise
so that the Binding Plate and Power Plate/Disc are securely fastened together.
*See back cover for tilt setting information.
5. Use the safety leash. ffix the Safety Leash Boot Ring to your front boot. ffix the Safety Leash to the front
binding. Clip the two together while you are riding.
6. Sticker your snowboard with the C TEK decal.
7. Verify proper boot fit and that all fasteners are secure before each use.
Questions regarding the assembly, adjustment, setup, use, boot compatibility, or snowboard compatibility should
be directed to Caron lpine Technologies, Inc. prior to use.
Using D3 Elastomers
1. Mount the Discs to the board. Determine your
stance position. Place the D3 Elastomer disc on
the board. Place a Spherical Nut on the raised
center ring of the D3 disc. Place the mounting disc
concentric to the D3 disc and fasten the mounting
disc to the snowboard securely using the included
14mm Mounting Screws and 4mm Hex Key. Be
sure to use all the screws your board requires. Do
not over-tighten the Mounting Screws.
2. Mount the Power Plates to the Discs. Install the
D3 elastomer pads so that they grip the ends of the
Power Plates. Place the Power Plate (with the D3
elastomers installed) centered on the mounting
discs (already attached to the snowboard) and
rotate the Power Plates to your desired stance angle.
Fasten the Power Plate to the Disc using the 8mm
Power Plate Screws and 4mm Hex Key.
