How to Mount Marker Ski Bindings
Ski markers are a very important part of skiing because they mark the bindings for downhill skiing. The bindings help to customize settings for skiing abilities and weight. The important factor is making sure to mount and adjust the bindings properly.
Things You'll Need:
- Work bench
- Ski vises
- Ski boots
- Screwdriver
- Power drill
- Measuring tape
- Marker DIN chart
- Ensure the skis using the ski vises while the skis are placed on the workbenches. Make sure that the top of the skis are facing upward.
- Prepare to set the bindings by measuring out the distance on the middle or waste of the ski. Refer to the binding manufacture’s installation guide that comes with the Marker bindings. There is a different setting chart based upon the company that makes the bindings.
- Place the toe and heal piece properly onto on ski based upon the recommend distance measured by the Marker. Align the bindings up to where the attachment holes will be placed and drill out the attachment holes.
- Screw the bindings to the ski carefully. Once the bindings are secured to the ski, pop open the bindings. Test the binding placement and distance by inserting the ski boots. Before your drill, remember to measure a couple times so you only have do drill once. Next, pop the boots out. Use a screwdriver and adjust the DIN screw at the back of the binding according to the Marker DIN chart. To get up on the DIN scale turn the screw clockwise, and to go down turn it counter-clockwise. Keep an eye on the DIN dial indicator that is on towards the back of the binding, until you reach the setting that is recommended.
