ENTRY/EXIT
According to the shape of your foot, you will probably have a prefe-
rence between one of two ways to enter/exit the boots. The key to
both methods for easy entry is the High Overlap that replaces the
tongue. The High Overlap provides a convenient handle that you
can use for easy entry:
›FOR BOOT ENTRY OR EXIT WITH THE LINER IN THE SHELL,
loosen the laces as much as possible (especially the very bottom
lace) and step into or out of the boot. Some skiers prefer to also
put the cu in walk mode rather than locked downhill mode. The
High Overlap makes an easy “handle” to grab. Spread the two
overlaps and the boot is easy to enter or exit. You can also use the
tongue loop to aid entry.
›FOR BOOT ENTRY WITH THE LINER ON YOUR FOOT, put the
liner on and snug down the laces comfortably. Lock the boot cu
into the downhill mode by flipping the rear lever down. Toe first,
step into the shell.

BUCKLE ADJUSTMENT
All SCOTT BUCKLES have a threaded micro adjustment on the bail,
as well as the larger adjustment aorded by the toothed buckle
catch.
›ADJUSTING THE BUCKLES FOR DOWNHILL SKIING: FOOT AD-
JUSTMENT: be sure that the foot is all of the way back in the boot,
the heel securely in the heel pocket. Starting with the lower shell
buckles, choose a tooth that snugs the boot comfortably around
the foot. Turn the buckle’s bail (the metal rectangle) clockwise to
tighten, or counter-clockwise to loosen, for fine adjustment.
›CUFF ADJUSTMENT: choose a tooth that snugs the cu comfor-
tably around the leg and buckle the cu buckles. Turn the buckle’s
bail clockwise to tighten or counter-clockwise to loosen for fine
adjustment. Buckle the buckle bail into the appropriate tooth of
the Easy-Lock Catch by pushing the button with the SCOTT logo
located on the medial end of the catch. If you need to tighten or
loosen the buckle, release the catch lock by pushing the same
button. Then tighten the Velcro power strap. Flex your leg back
and forth a few times to see if the buckles or Velcro strap need
further adjustment.
›ADJUSTING THE BUCKLES FOR WALKING: SCOTT’s Power-
Frame Freeride boots have Easy-Lock catches for unrestricted
touring. You can leave the buckles opened wide, while they are
held securely by the Easy-Lock catches. To buckle the boot in
walk mode with the Easy Lock catch, just push the button with
the SCOTT logo and snap the buckle bail into the loosest catch
position. Leave the lever open so that you get as much movement
as possible. To un-buckle, push the button with the SCOTT logo
to release the catch lock. In the case of icing, a tap on the button
releases the catch. Loosen the Velcro® strap and, if you prefer,
loosen the lower shell buckles a notch but keep the lower shells
buckled to prevent excess movement. Keeping your lower shell
buckled securely reduces the chance of blisters. Raise the cu
lock mechanism’s lever on the back of the boot (see WALKING/
SKIING MODES below).
WALKING/SKIING MODES
PowerFrame Freeride’s Easy³ Magnesium Ski/Walk Mechanism
has an adjustable forward lean that can be easily adjusted to your
preference. Once adjusted, you have one, easily-locked forward
lean position for downhill skiing, or hinge freely for walking and
climbing. When your skins are o and you are ready to ski, you
won’t have to search for the right forward lean position.
Basic function of the Easy³ Magnesium walk mechanism
›FOR WALKING, flip the cu’s ergonomic rear lever up and LOO-
SEN THE CUFF BUCKLES AND POWER STRAP as much as
possible, as described above. You may want to loosen the lower
buckle on the foot as well, but keep it buckled to secure the foot
and prevent excess movement and possible blisters.
›FOR DOWNHILL SKIING, stand upright and flip the ergonomic
lever down and flex the cu forward until the mechanism locks
with an audible “click”.

Adjusting your PowerFrame Freeride Boot’s forward lean: the
Easy³ Magnesium Ski/Walk Mechanism can be easily adjusted with
one bolt. To adjust your cus for more or less forward lean, insert
the larger (4mm) end of your included hex key into the Easy³’s
fixing bolt. Loosen the bolt and rotate the cu forward or back,
depending on whether you want more or less forward lean, until the
Easy³’s position indicators line up with those on the cu. There is
also an intermediate position between the three marked positions
for further fine tuning. Tighten the bolt a couple of turns and wiggle
the cu back and forth slightly to be sure that everything is lined
up, and then snug the bolt down.
If you change your forward lean from the factory setting, once you
have determined your preferred position, put a drop of threadloc-
ker on the threads of the walk mechanism’s fixing bolt. Check the
bolt occasionally for tightness.
Sole Sets and binding norms: for the maximum versatility Power-
Frame Freeride boots have two available Quick-Change Sole Sets
that are compatible with the 3 fixed-heel binding norms. The alpine
sole is compatible with the ISO Alpine Norm. The Touring Sole is
compatible with the ISO Touring Norm (UNI) and the Tech Norm
using SCOTT proprietary Tech fittings. It has a Vibram® rubber out-
sole. These Sole Sets can be changed in a flash, snapping securely
into place, and fixed with only three hex bolts per boot. No other
manufacturer has such easily-interchangeable soles.
Changing Sole Sets for dierent bindings: to change your Sole Set
you only need a #3 Posi-Drive Screwdriver. First remove the sole’s
fixing bolts. Set the bolts aside where you won’t lose them. Remove
the sole by lifting the toe first, then pull it forward to unseat its rear
tabs from the shell recesses. The heel pulls o straight towards the
rear of the boot, a “bayonet” attachment.
Note: The toes of both the Alpine and Touring Sole Sets have a
right and a left. They are stamped DX (destra) for right, SX (sinistra)
for left. The heels of each sole set are ambidextrous. Once your
soles are o of the shells, put the shell aside with its appropriate
right or left sole. Choose one of the shells and push the new Sole
Set’s heel straight on to its bayonet-type fixation. Replace the fixing
bolt and snug it down.
Next is the toe. Push the sole’s rear tabs into their recesses in the
shell, and press the toe flat against the shell. It should fit perfectly—
if there are gaps or the toe doesn’t seem to fit properly, be sure that
you have the right sole on the right boot, and that its rear tabs are
inserted properly in the recesses in the shell. Once the sole is pro-
perly in place, while you hold the fixing plate in place, snug down
the two toe fixing bolts. When both boots are done, check all of
your fixing bolts once again to be sure they are snug.
If you change your soles more than once we strongly recommend
using a commercial threadlocker on the threads of the Sole Set
fixing bolts. Be sure to check the bolts regularly for tightness.

ADJUSTING SCOTT POWERFRAME FREERIDE CUFF
DIAMETER
›The CUFF BUCKLE CATCHES are attached with threaded, hex-
keyed T-NUTS that can be moved 17mm forward or back to ac-
commodate a variety of lower leg diameters. To adjust the cu
buckles for very large or slender lower legs, remove the T-nut with
the 3mm end of the included hex key, move the T-nut to the hole
that’s toward the inside of the boot for a smaller diameter, to the
outside of the boot for a larger diameter. Replace the buckle catch
and thread the 3mm T-Nut and snug it down securely. Power-
frame freeride cu alignment (cant) mechanism
›We recommend having your knee position measured and your
cant djusted by an experienced boot fitter.
›
Once you determine whether you want the cu canted in (less cant)
or out (more cant), make note of the current position of the bottom
of the cu, using a reference mark that you make with a pen.
›Insert the 4mm end of your hex key into the center of the cant
mechanism.
›Rotate the outer ring with a pointed tool in its hole. Using your
reference mark, determine where you want the cu. As the cu
moves down in reference to your mark, you are increasing its cant.
As the cu moves up, you are reducing its cant.
›Holding the outer ring in the desired position, tighten the inner
hex bolt securely.
ADJUSTABLE SPOILER
Men’s boot models have a 2-position adjustable spoiler is for skiers
who want a bit more cu height and forward lean, for more down-
hilloriented tours, or to custom-fit the cu to the individual’s lower
leg. The spoilers fix very solidly with T-Nuts and are easily removable.
Note: that, because Women’s lower legs are shaped dierently, with
their calf muscle extending farther down their leg, women get a
better fit without a spoiler. For that reason we do not include a
spoiler with Women’s-specific models.
To mount or adjust the spoiler follow these steps:
1Remove the hex nuts on the SCOTT logo plate that fixes the
power strap using a 3mm hex key.
2Mount the spoiler in the upper or lower holes (10mm of adjust-
ment) according to your fit preference.
3Replace the T-Nuts, power strap, and logo plate and snug down
the T-nuts when your spoiler is in position.
Should you choose to remove the spoiler, follow step 1, then step 3
to replace the power strap and logo plate.
Note: that there is a right and left Power Strap. The metal ring
should be on the inside, with SCOTT reading properly.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF YOUR SCOTT BOOTS
›Use only soap and water to clean your boots.
› When drying shells and liners, keep them away from direct sources
of heat, i.e. radiators, open fires, etc.
›Before storing boots for a long period of time, be sure that the
liners and shells are completely dry, put the liners in the shells, and
close the buckles loosely.

ENTRARE/USCIRE
A seconda della morfologia del piede, ci sono due modi di calzare/
togliere gli scarponi: il segreto per calzare con facilità lo scarpone
in entrambi i modi è la sovrapposizione sulla tibia che sostituisce il
linguettone. La sovrapposizione sulla tibia è dotata di una comoda
maniglia facilmente impugnabile e apribile per una calzata facilitata:
› PER CALZARE O TOGLIERE LO SCARPONE CON LA SCARPETTA
NELLO SCAFO, allentare i lacci il più possibile (specialmente nella
parte inferiore) e calzare o togliere lo scarpone. Alcuni sciatori
preferiscono muovere il meccanismo nella posizione “walk” piut-
tosto che in quella “ski”. Il gambetto è fornito di una pratica “mani-
glia” che consente di allargare i due lembi per facilitare l’entrata
e l’uscita. Anche il laccio della lingua della scarpetta è di aiuto in
questo caso.
›
PER CALZARE LO SCARPONE CON LA SCARPETTA INDOSSATA,
calzare la scarpetta e allacciarla senza stringere eccessivamente.
Bloccare il gambetto nella posizione “ski” ruotando verso il basso
