The heel of the binding contains a ap, which in the folded position
forwards allows walking on skis and in the folded position upwards
it allows to clamp the heel of the ski boot into binding for downhill
skiing.
FASTENING OF SKI SHOES INTO BINDING FOR UPHILL (walking)
1. It is necessary to set the aps on the heels of the binding to the
walking position (to prevent unintentional clamping of the heel) by
tilting the aps forwards to the pins, where they create an obstacle
for clamping the heel of the ski boot and at the same time they serve
as pads for ski boots.
2. Swivel clamping of the ski boot in the front part of the binding
(toe) is possible by sliding the front insert of the ski boot onto
inner tip of the binding and then pulling the locking arm from the
outside to the vertical position so that the outer tip ts into the
insert from the outside.
When the locking arm is in the upright position, the binding tip
is locked.
MOUNTING OF BINDING
It is recommended to mount GRIZZLY.SKI bindings only on ultralight
ski mountaineering race or speed skis.
Binding installation and binding adjustment must be performed
by an authorized service center. The binding can only be mounted
according to the original template.
Any adaptation and modication of the binding is not strongly rec-
ommended and could lead to greater risks to the safety of the user.
BINDING ADJUSTMENT AND CORRECT USE
Prior to rst use, the binding functions must be thoroughly famil-
iarized.
The toe of the binding contains two arms with pins for swiveling
aachment of the front part of the ski boot. One arm is xed. It is
part of the toe base. The other is a locking arm that allows the front
mount to be released and locked. This system is called GRIZZLY
FIX (A).

FASTENING OF SKI SHOES INTO BINDING FOR DOWNHILL
SKIING
1. First, it is necessary to ip the aps on the heel of the binding 90
or 180 degrees backwards so that they do not create an obstacle
for fastening ski boots.
2. Fasten one and the other ski boot in the front part of binding the
same way as for uphill. Then hit the heels of the ski boots on the
pins of heel parts of the binding so that it locks.
3. For fastening of ski shoes immediately after the ascent (uphill),
it is only necessary to turn the aps on the heels of the binding by
90 or 180 degrees and then to hit the heels of the ski boots on the
pins of heel parts of the binding so that it locks.
RELEASE OF SKI SHOES IN BINDING
1. Release is possible at the toe of the binding by tilting the locking
arms on both skis so that the toes are unlocked and the arms are
deected to such extent that the inserts are released from the
pins of binding.
2. If the ski boots have been fastened for downhill, the heels must
still be pulled forward from the heel pins.
PRACTICAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Prior to each use, a visual inspection of the binding status is required.
In particular:
• whether the binding is correctly aached to the ski,
• whether the screws are properly tightened,
• whether the internal structure of the ski is damaged,
• whether the ski is damaged in the area of the binding
aachment.
If at least one of the above is not correct, do not use the ski moun-
taineering set until the defect has been repaired by an authorized
service center.
GRIZZLY.SKI bindings dierenciate left and right side, so it is neces-
sary to use skis so that the binding always has a securing arm from
the outside.
If the binding is mounted rmly on the ski, no other ski boot may be
used, only the one for which the binding was mounted.
If the binding heel is on aadjustment plate, it is necessary to check
the distance of the heel when changing the ski boot, whether it is
correctly adjusted by a professionally qualied person.
Before clamping the ski shoes to the binding, make sure that the
skis, ski shoes and the bindings are completely FREE of ice, dirt,
or other foreign bodies that could lead to a reduction in normal
binding functions.
Some binding functions can be handled with a ski pole. Using a ski
pole can cause scratches and / or premature wear of the product
surfaces.
In uphill mode, separation between the ski boot and the binding
only occurs in the event of severe deformations of the material due
to an event, external load or special stress. If this happens, please
stop using the product.
Only the correct size TORX 20 wrench can be used to tighten
the screws.
If in doubt about the perfect functionality of one or more binding
components, do not use the product and seek professional service
for a deeper inspection of the product.

Therefore, please never overestimate your abilities. Never ski if you
are injured or under the inuence of alcohol, medication or drugs.
Any MODIFICATION OF COMPONENTS AND IMPROPER USE OF

the risk of injury to the user or third parties. Use of non-genuine
accessories may damage the binding and increase the risk to the user.
