Hardwire Hook Installation:
The Hardware Heel assembly is pre-installed on your Hardwire 3-Pin binding. The following
information is provided if you remove and re-install the Hardware Heel assembly.
Important! When installing the Hardwire heel assembly, the hooks must be installed from
the top. If installed from the bottom, the assembly may fall off during transport. (SEE
FIGURE 1)
If you need to re-install the Hardwire Heel Assembly to the Hardwire 3-Pin toe-piece you must
install before mounting the toe-piece to the ski. To ensure absolute security of the heel
assembly the hooks must be installed from the top. The hooks cannot be removed unless you
completely unthread the cartridges from the hook rod.
Sizing:
Correct adjustment of the heel lever will provide an audible snap when the
lever is engaged. With most boots, when the lever is not engaged it should
rest roughly 1/4”/6mm back from the boot heel. To adjust the length of the
heel assembly, simply spin the cartridges evenly clockwise to tighten and
counterclockwise to loosen. When the rods are at their maximum length
the threads will appear. Threads should never be exposed! (SEE RIGHT) At
their minimum length the rod will bottom out on the back of the spring
cartridge and begin pushing out the silver colored spring rod. At this point
you cannot make the heel assembly length any shorter.

NO
Checking the forward pressure:
After you initially fit your boots, it is necessary to check the forward
pressure of the heel piece. Release the heel lever from the boot. Note
a scribed mark at the edge of the plastic collar on the spring
cartridge. (SEE FIGURE 2) Now engage the heel lever and check the
distance from the mark to the back collar. The distance should be at
least 1/8” or 4mm and no more than 1/4” or 6mm to ensure optimal
flex and heel retention. (SEE FIGURE 3) The forward pressure may
need to be readjusted after your initial ski runs.

WARNING:
THE VOILE HARDWIRE 3-PIN
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
is not a safety binding and therefore does 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 tech-
niques, avalanche awareness, and exercising good judgment.
The manufacturer, distributor, wholesaler, and retailer hereby expressly
disclaim any liability for personal injuries sustained by use or misuse of
this product.
The Voilé 3-Pin Cable
binding is warrantied
by the manufacturer
against any defects
in materials or
workmanship for a
period of one year.
Warranty service and
replacement parts
are available directly
from Voilé.
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 and follow the
instruction on the back of the paper template. Make sure the 3-Pin line is intersecting the
diamondshape on the jig or template. Check your drill bit depth before drilling especially
for narrow profile skis. Always follow manufacturers suggested guidelines.
Check the screw length to prevent “dimpling” the base, grind down the tips of the screw if
necessary. Mount theshim directly on the ski using wood glue or epoxy in each screw
hole, following the ski manufacturers suggested guidelines. Press in riser plugs. Mount
the toe-piece on the shim using the 3-hole patter. Glue is not necessary and epoxy will
compromise the integrity of the plastic.
Tech Tips:
1) To prevent thread corrosion on the Hardwire Rods and maintain easy
adjustment Voilé recommends greasing the threads at the end of each
season. For best results use an anti-seize grease.
2) To maximize uphill touring efficiency, lock the heel lever to the heel pad
and walk uphill on the 3-Pin toe with much less effort. This benefit can be
utilized on all Hardwire brand telemark bindings for transporting your skis.
3) Always check to make certain that theHardwire heel assembly is centered
on the ski to maintain even pre-load on the spring cartridges. If the spring
cartridges comeout of adjustment, simply rotate to bring back to center to
maintain adequate loadand maximum performance.

Dual LP Heel Pad Mounting:
Making sure to use the longest wire in the front position, first, install the two climbing wires to the
Dual LP in the down position. Next, position the 2mm spacer under the Dual LP heel pad.
Follow the instructions on the back of the paper template for proper heel pad mounting. Mount the
heel pad so the round contour on the back of the heel piece matches the back of the boot heel. (SEE
FIGURE 4) Take care to position the heel pad correctly to ensure the climbing wires will be centered
under the boot heel and allow the heel lever assebly to be locked down for transport. (SEE FIGURE
5)
Make sure to use included washers with screws when mounting. Slide washer over 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 the glue/epoxy is allowed to set. (SEE FIGURE 6)
