Enabling Technologies NEXGen Fixed Outriggers User manual

[2]
Set up the Rigger Mount ✔
The Rigger Mount1& U-Bolt System3allow the NEXGen Fixed Outriggers to
be used with either the Dynamique or Bi-Unique Bi-Ski.
The Rigger Mount1attaches to the Articulating Mechanism, a shared feature
of both bi-skis.
To install:
1) Slide the two 5/16 hex bolts2into the holes at the front of the
Mechanism Plate and push the Rigger Mount1onto the bolts.
2) Secure the Rigger Mount1to the Mechanism Plate using the provided
washers and nylock wing nuts4.
While skiing:
Periodically check that the wing nuts4are sufficiently tight.
Remove the Rigger Mount1whenever you are not actively skiing with fixed
outriggers. The ends can dig into the snow, cause the skier to flip, and
damage the Rigger Mount1.

Choose the appropriate U-Bolt ✔
The U-Bolt3ties the Articulating Mechanism and Frame together to prevent
damage to the Articulating Mechanism Channels.
Short U-Bolt = Dynamique or Junior Bi-Unique (one Main Rail thick)
Long U-Bolt = Adult / XL Bi-Unique (two Main Rails thick)
The photo above shows catastrophic damage to the Articulating Mechanism
Channels that results when NEXGen Fixed Outriggers are skied without
installing the U-Bolt3.
To install:
1) Adjust the skier’s center of mass to the ideal fore-aft ski position.
2) Push the appropriate length U-Bolt3over the Main Rail and through the
mounting holes (as shown on the previous page). The legs of the U-Bolt3
may need to be pulled out slightly to clear the Front Channel.
3) Slide the U-Bolt Spacer Plate onto the underside of the U-Bolt. The U-
Bolt Spacer Plate is leashed to the Rigger Mount1.
4) Secure the U-Bolt3with the provided nylock wing nuts.
While skiing:
Periodically check that the wing nuts are sufficiently tight. If you need to
adjust the center of gravity, loosen the U-Bolt3, reposition the ski fore-aft,
and then retighten.
Never cut the U-Bolt leash or use NEXGen Fixed Outriggers without the U-
Bolt3.

Set Rigger Ends to the appropriate width ✔
Wide = Lower ability skiers, wide terrain, novice tetherers
Narrow = Higher ability skiers, narrow terrain, advanced tetherers
To install:
1) Slide the Rigger Ends into the Rigger Mount.
2) Align to the desired width and insert a snap pin through the Rigger
Mount and the Rigger End.
If the Rigger Tube does not easily slide into the Rigger Mount do not force
the tube into the mount. Inspect for ice buildup or burs and remove as
necessary.

Use appropriately ✔
NEXGen Fixed Outriggers are not designed for all terrain.
They are designed for groomed novice terrain. Their use must constantly be
evaluated based on a skier’s ability level, the terrain and tetherer’s skill
level.
Extreme caution is necessary when using NEXGen Fixed Outriggers on
powder or soft spring days. The Rigger Ends can dig into soft snow, injure
the skier and break equipment. Instructors must evaluate the snow
conditions and their ability level to decide if it is safe to use NEXGen Fixed
Outriggers on such days.
Never ski backwards, pull back or falling leaf with NEXGen Fixed Outriggers
installed. Be aware to leave adequate room when stopping near the trail
edge so that pulling backwards isn’t necessary to start skiing again. They are
designed for skiing forwards.

Remove or store the Rigger Ends when
loading the chairlift ✔
Remove the Left and Right Rigger Ends from the Rigger Mount before
loading the chairlift.
To store the Rigger Ends (if desired):
1) Remove the Left and Right Riggers.
2) Rotate the Riggers 90 Degrees and re-insert them into the Rigger
Mount.
3) Secure the snap pin in the innermost holes of the Rigger Ends between
the gaps in the Rigger Mount.
Loading a chairlift with the Rigger Ends in the ski position is an unnecessary
risk. The Riggers can be cumbersome, undesirably dig into the snow and
cause you to mis-load the chairlift. Fixed outriggers also limit the turning
radius of the ski. When you unload the chairlift you may need the full turning
abilities to avoid skiers that have fallen or did not clear the unloading zone.
