IMPORTANT !
The skier should understand that there are inherent and
other risks in the sport of skiing. Explain that the ski
binding will not release under all circumstances nor is it
possible to predict every situation in which it will release
and is, therefore, no guarantee of his or her safety.
IMPORTANT !
Explain to the skier that touring ski bindings are suitable
only for the purpose they are intended for and therewith
restrictions are related.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE SKIER!
Explain that MARKER KINGPIN, KINGPIN MWERKS & KINGPIN
DEMO ski bindings do not meet any ISO Certification and
therefore the release function does not need to be tested to
verify function release.
Show where the release adjustment screws are located and
explain the visual indicators on the binding and how they do
not directly correlate to the initial indicator values on the
adjustment chart, but serve as a good starting point for binding
setup.
The initial indiicator values should be used as a starting point
for the binding setting process and may need to be modified in
order for the skier to achieve correct retention preference.
