DUAL LP HEEL PAD MOUNTING
Before drilling the heel, determine the heel pad position on both skis. First, measure
the sole of your boot from the center of the middle 3-Pin hole to the back edge of the
boot heel. Use this measurement to mark the distance from the 3-Pin Line measure-
ment mark on the ski to the heel pad position. Mount the heel pad so the round
contour on the back of the heel piece matches the back of the boot heel. (SEE FIGURE
2) Proper placement of the heel pad will center the climbing wires under your heels
and allow the heel assembly to be locked behind the heel pad during ascent/transport.
Making sure to place the 75mm wire in the front position, first, install the two climbing
wires to the Dual LP in the down position.(SEE FIGURE 3) It is easiest to install them
from the underside of the heel pad. Next, position the 2mm spacer under the Dual LP
heel pad.
RISER AND TOE-PIECE MOUNTING
Consult the ski manufacturer for all mounting locations on skis.
Use the Voilé Hardwire Mounting Jig or the enclosed paper template. Follow the
instruction on the back of the paper template before drilling. Make sure the 3-Pin line
is intersecting the diamond shape on the jig or template. Check your drill bit depth
before drilling especially with narrow profile skis. Always follow the manufacturers
suggested guidelines.
Check the screw length to prevent “dimpling” the base, grind down the tips of the
screw if necessary. Using a 3.5 x 9mm bit, dill and clean any debris from holes. If your
ski has a metal laminate use a 4.1 x 9mm and remember to tap the holes before
mounting. Following the ski manufacturers suggested guidelines for adhesive, mount
the shim directly on the ski using wood glue or epoxy in each screw hole and the
shorter 5/8” screws. Press in four riser plugs before mounting the toe-pieces.(SEE
FIGURE 1) Now, mount the toe-pieces on each shim using the 3-hole pattern. Hand
tighten each screw on the toe-piece to prevent stripping out the shim holes and make
sure the binding is flush with the riser.
GLUE IS NOT NECESSARY AND EPOXY WILL COMPROMISE THE INTEGRITY OF THE PLASTIC SHIM.

WARNING:
THE VOILE 3-PIN CABLE TRAVERSE IS NOT A SAFETY
BINDING AND HAS NO RELEASE MECHANISM
Backcountry /Telemark skiing is an inherently dangerous sport in which there is always
the possibility of bodily injury and death. VOILE 3-PIN CABLE TRAVERSE bindings are not
safety bindings and therefore do not decrease the inherent risk of injury associated with
the sport of backcountry skiing. The User of this product is solely responsible for
learning proper skiing techniques, avalanche awareness, and exercising good judgment.
The manufacturer, distributor, wholesaler, and retailer are not liable for any personal
injuries sustained by the use or misuse of this product.
SIZING THE HEEL ASSEMBLY:
Once the toe-piece is mounted, size the heel assembly to the
boots. The standard cables are designed to fit up to a men’s size
13, they may need to be shortened for smaller sizes. Hook the heel
assembly on to each side of the toe-piece from the top. Bend the
hooks in slightly to contour the boot; this allows the cable to pivot
freely. (SEE FIGURE 6)
Check to see that the hooks are seated properly. If the heel piece
does not pivot freely, damage to the hook may occur.
(SEE FIGURE 7)
With the heel lever closed and located over the outside edge, the
Cable Assembly should be adjusted so the heel assembly is
centered on the ski. To adjust, remove the Cable Assembly and
screw (to shorten) or unscrew (to lengthen).
Correct adjustment of the Cable Assembly should provide and
audible snap when the lever is engaged. Make sure that there is at
least 1/2” of each cable in the heel piece threads. (SEE FIGURE 8)
To prevent damage, Voilé recommends NO MORE THAN ONE INCH
OF EXCESS SPRING extending beyond the heel piece. (SEE FIGURE 9). Measure and mark the required amount to be removed. Use a
small bolt cutter or hack-saw to trim excess. Make sure to grind or file down any sharp edges before reinstalling. If the lever pops
open while skiing, lengthen the cable on the lever side and shorten the cable on the inside. This will increase the cam angle and keep
the lever closed tightly.

DUAL LP HEEL PAD MOUNTING (Continued)
Make sure to use included washers with screws when mounting. Slide washer over
the longer 3/4” screw and mount Dual LP to the ski. The unique slot design allows for
small, fore/aft adjustments of the heel pad. Make necessary adjustments before any
glue/epoxy is allowed to set. (SEE FIGURE 4)
Now install the Dual LP slot plugs. These will prevent any ice build up from occurring
on your heel pads. Remove any excess flash by lightly sanding. Insert the plugs with
the flat end facing towards the front of the heel pad. (SEE FIGURE 5) The two indication
lines should align with the flat face of the plug. To remove, insert small flat head
screwdriver into the small opening and gently pry the plug out.
