WARNING
GRIZZLY.SKI bindings are developed and manufactured primarily
for ski mountaineering competitions or training for competitions.
The performance prole required from this product can aect the
safety characteristics of the product.
GRIZZLY.SKI bindings DO NOT MEET ANY DIN / ISO SAFETY
STANDARDS. In particular, they do not comply with the safety
standards DIN / ISO 11088 and DIN / ISO 13992.
GRIZZLY.SKI bindings are made and tested in combination with ski
mountaineering boots equipped with standard “TECH INSERTS”
in perfect condition and original dimensions. The use of ski moun-
taineering boots with non-standard and / or worn “TECH INSERTS”
may change the functional performance of the binding.
The GR Olympic binding is equipped with a release system via a
spring integrated in the toe of the binding. The release system is pre-
calibrated by the manufacturer. The binding is oered in 3 dierent
release force values: 6, 8 and 10. The selection of the most suitable
release value is chosen based on the physical and performance
characteristics of the user.
The user of the binding consciously accepts all responsibility aris-
ing from the use of GRIZZLY.SKI products. The user of the binding
releases GRIZZLY.SKI from any liability for any damage caused to
himself or third parties by the use of the product.

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).
The toe of the binding is complemented by the GRIZZLY STEP (B)
feature, which increases the positioning accuracy of the ski boot
when engaging into the toe of the binding.
The safety release of the ski boot when falling is ensured by a safety
spring (E), which is part of the toe of the binding. It cooperates
with the swivel heel. The safety spring is only activated when the
brake is activated.
The toe of the binding contains the GRIZZLY FLEX (C) system
which sets the space between pins of the toe and thus allows the
use of ski boots from dierent manufacturers. A TX 10 screwdriver
is used to adjust it.
WARNING!!! Adjustment of the GRIZZLY FLEX system is only pos-
sible while the locking arm of the GRIZZLY FIX system is released.
GRIZZLY FLEX system adjustment
If, after clamping the ski boot in the toe of the binding, there is a
clearance on the tips, it is necessary to tighten the screw of the
GRIZZLY FLEX system on the xed arm.
If the GRIZZLY FIX locking arm makes it too dicult to lock and
unlock the toe of the binding with ski boot, the GRIZZLY FLEX
screw must be loosened.
The optimal seing for the GRIZZLY FLEX system:
• When the locking arm pressed by the spring during clamping
remains deviated approximately 20° from the perpendicular
axis and when there is no clearance of pins placings in the ski
boot inserts after clamping and securing the ski boot
• When the locking arm of the GRIZZLY FIX system locks and
unlocks the toe of the binding with optimal force.
GRIZZLY BRAKE (D). One-nger activation. By activating it, the
safety spring is released and performs the function of safety release
in the event of a fall.

Basic functions
Release the locking arm!

The heel of the binding contains a ap, which in the folded posi-
tion 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.
The GR Olympic binding has a swivel heel, thanks to which the ski
shoe is released in the event of a fall. It is possible to turn the heel
laterally to the left and to the right. The heel also releases the ski
boot vertically.
FASTENING OFSKI 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.
3. Brake is in locked position.
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.
4. Activate the brake.
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.
CARE, MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Store the binding in a dry and protected place. Do not expose it
to excessive heat. Do not make any modications or changes to
it. Any of these steps may void your warranty. It can also jeopard-
ize the functionality of the binding and increase the possibility of
structural damage.

dangerous and / or unpredictable situations can occur. 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
GRIZZLY.SKI bindings may void the product warranty and increase
the risk of injury to the user or third parties. Use of non-genuine ac-
cessories may damage the binding and increase the risk to the user.
