Thank you for choosing the Hagan ZR.
Hagan ski touring bindings are constructed using the most sophisticated design principles
and advanced engineering standards. Hagan bindings are completely made in Europe to
satisfy the needs of top athletes who are constantly looking for lightness and reliability. For
your interest and for safety reasons we ask you to read the following instructions carefully
and to act accordingly.
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY OPERATION, MAKE SURE YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND
THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
•Hagan ZR bindings are designed and tested to work with ski boots with "TECH" inserts.
The Tech inserts must be standard hooking plates in original dimensions without excess
wear. Using ski boots with non-standard inserts or with very worn inserts may change the
bindings functionality and can create a risk for the user. Before each use check the general
wear of equipment and, in case of doubt, contact an authorized dealer.
•Hagan ZR bindings do not comply with DIN/ISO standards regarding safety; Hagan ZR
are extreme racing bindings and do not have any system for calibration of the release
system.
•During transport, dirt or salt can infiltrate the bindings and interfere with correct
functioning. Always protect the bindings from these external agents during transport.
•In the up-hill setting the bindings do not have any release function and are completely
locked on the boot.
•Upon stepping into the toe piece, check that the pins are correctly and completely
inserted into their seats on the boot toe.
•Before skiing downhill, please remember to place the toe locking lever in downhill
position. Failing to do so will increase the risk of injury for the user.
•Before each use check that the binding or other accessories do not have worn or
damaged parts, that the release system is correctly working and that the binding is not
contaminated by dirt, debris, snow or ice. If there are some defected or broken parts
please contact an authorized dealer Hagan for the service.
•Never use bindings with damaged or extremely worn parts.

1. MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Check the content of the box while purchasing and make sure that it contains all the
components (2 toe units, 2 heel units, 16 x 11mm screws, 1 paper drilling template).
Hagan ZR bindings should be mounted by skilled staff, preferably an AUTHORIZED or
SPECIALIZED DEALER of Hagan products.We recommend the use of a Hagan
Mechanical Drilling Jig to mount the bindings. If you don’t have a Hagan mechanical
drilling jig you may use the Hagan paper drilling templates included in the binding
packaging. Then follow the instructions described in the next section.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO STRICTLY ADHERE TO THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS GUIDE.
FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN INCORRECT SKI/BOOT ALIGNMENT AND/
OR IMPROPER BINDING FUNCTION.
PAPER DRILLING TEMPLATE INSTRUCTIONS
1) Trace the longitudinal ski center line to achieve the correct alignment of toe and
heel . (Picture 1)
2) If the toe position point is already marked on the ski, proceed to point 3 of the
instructions, otherwise please proceed as follows:
-Place the ski boot center mark in line with the ski boot center line marked on
the ski.
-Mark across the ski a line aligning with the inserts at the toe of the ski boot.

4) Attach the drilling template to the ski with tape in this position.
5) Mark the ski through the holes labeled “1”.
6) Remove the drilling template and place the toe piece on the ski to check correct
alignment of the holes.
7) Remove the toe piece from the ski and drill the holes previously marked, using a Ø

with the same depth of screws insertion (e.g. if the screws is 11 mm, drill at least 6
mm).
8) Mount the toe piece on the ski using glue and the supplied screws, checking the
correct alignment of the binding before fully tightening the screws.
9) Hook the boot in the toe piece and place it flat on the ski. Mark on the ski a line at
the back of the boot’s rear metal binding insert. (Picture 2)
