2. Pucks and Discs Preparation • Stretch rubber gaskets [2.a] slightly and place into bottom of the pucks [2.b] Mounting • Slide two pucks including discs into the H-shaped alignment guide [2.e]; make sure to use one disc each with parallel slots [2.c] and with the slots next to each other [2.d] • Slide discs [2.c & 2.d] into the pucks [2.b] and choose desired stance angle; for angles larger than 37° use A-marking, for angles smaller than 36° use the B-marking [2.h] • The disc with the slots next to each other [2.d] must point towards the toe edge Tips and Tricks • Make sure the pucks lock up with the H-shaped guides [2.g]. The slider pins must fit through the holes in the aluminum slider tracks and have some leeway (important when assembling the board with ice and snow sticking to the slider tracks). [ 2.c ] [ 2.a ]

3. Stance Preparation • Place board on a flat ground (floor or table); close tip and tail clips as well as metal hooks completely [3.a] • Choose desired stance width and place bindings onto the center axis of the board; mark center of the bindings with a pen on the boards‘ center axis • Make sure the disc with the slots next to each other always points towards the toe edge [3.c] Mounting • Position H-shaped guide with the hole in the center over the marked spot [3.b] and tighten pucks containing the discs • Remove the H-shaped guide, slide the aluminum slider tracks completely over the pucks and push the slider pins through the holes in the aluminum slider tracks to test the correct mounting of the pucks [3.d] Tips and Tricks • If the discs and your markings don't fit, swap from A to B or B to A. • Check the function of the slider tracks by sliding them onto and off pucks. Make sure the slider pins move loose and freely through both holes at the end of the aluminum slider tracks! The slider pins should have some leeway and easily slide through the holes.

4. Bindings Mounting • Mount the bindings with a 0°/0° angle onto the slider tracks [4.d], as the feet must be aligned straight when hiking (use T-nuts provided [4.b] and your own binding screws) • Slide the fully-assembled aluminum slider tracks including the bindings over the pucks mounted on the board; secure their position with the slider pins [4.c] pushed through the holes in the slider Tips and Tricks • To avoid damages to board and bindings the bindings must not protrude too much from the slider tracks [4.e].

• The binding screws must be flush with the T-nut bottom [4.f] or else the slider tracks [4.a] don't fit over the pucks. You may have to use shorter screws or thicker washers with your bindings (please contact your local distributor).

• We recommend to use the 13/14 Fastec Choice Alu binding as the binding screws fit the t-nuts provided. With the Fastec Prime Alu you have to use shorter screws to avoid harm (please contact your local distributor). Don‘t use Fastec models with a plastic baseplate!

5. Hike Mounting • • • • •

Remove slider pin and aluminum slider tracks including bindings [5.a] Open tip and tail clips and take board apart [5.b] Turn tip and tail clips as well as metal hooks inwards until they don't protrude anymore [5.b] Remove protective foil from skins; use Völkl Skin Pin System to attach skins at nose and apply them over the entire board length to the tail [5.c] Attach aluminum slider tracks including bindings to the touring brackets and secure with slider pins [5.d] Tips and Tricks

• • • • •

Make sure to check tightness of all screws prior to every tour!!!

Before attaching the skins clean and dry board base with the micro-fleece on the skin bag provided. Make sure to keep the skins' glue dry and clean!

In order to have more pressure on your edges while ascending on ice or hard-pack do not swap the board halves.

To protect your slider pins from getting lost you should fix them somewhere at your bindings [5.a].

Always take your crampons on the mountain to make sure you have good foothold even on steep or icy terrain.

Place board on edge for easier mounting of the slider tracks from above.

To avoid damages to the board make sure the tip and tail clips are always completely closed when riding [6.b].

If the metal hook screws between nose/tail and bindings come loose use lock-tite and tighten them again [6.b].

For easier use of the skins cut separating foil into halves and use both sides of each half for one skin.

To protect your slider pins from getting lost you should fix them somewhere at your bindings [6.d].
