To reduce your risk of injury or death, follow these guidelines: • Use correct size ski and binding. Binding should be adjusted for a snug, not tight, fit. • Wet binding and feet with water before use. • Inspect skis, fins and bindings for loose screws, wear, cracks, delamination or tearing. • Check foot straps (bindings) and fins prior to each use to insure they are fastened securely to the ski. • The faster you ski, the greater your risk of injury. Exercise additional caution when skiing at competitive speeds. Beginners should be towed at slower speeds that allow for reasonable control and stability. • Water skiing instruction is recommended before use. Instruction will teach general safety guidelines and proper skiing techniques, which may reduce your risk of injury. BINDING MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: It is not recommended that any extra holes are drilled into the top surface of the skis. O’Brien slalom skis have phenolic strips under the surface of the ski that help retain any screws or inserts that come in the ski. It is very important that all screws are checked for snugness each time before use of the ski, but without overtightening. Never use a ski that has missing or loose screws. O’BRIEN BINDINGS BIO BINDINGS: The BIO bindings feature a front lace system that allows them to open up for ease of entry and exit. They also feature built in lateral stiffeners, contoured EVA footbeds, and fabric overlays to fine tune the level of comfort and support preferred. TARGA BINDINGS: The Targa bindings feature a front lace system for easy entry, but have a softer feel and more flexible fit. It is a perfect choice for the aggressive recreational skier who needs both comfort and support. X-9 BINDINGS: The X-9 bindings feature three sizes and each size will accomodate a wide range of shoe size. Features front lace system for easy entry with comfort and versatility. BINDING LOCATION CHART Note: Binding locations are given fomr FRONT bindings only. Rear binding location should be decided after the front binding is mounted. The rear binding should be mounted as close as possible to the rear of the front binding, allowing for toe room. There should be little to no gap between the rear of the front binding and the toes of the rear binidng. Front binding location is determined by measuring from the rear of the ski to the rearmost part of the rubber or fabric on the front binding. TO FURTHER REDUCE YOUR RISK OF INJURY The faster you ski, the greater your risk of injury. Beginners should never exceed 20 mph (32km). Under no circumstances should your boat speed exceed 36 mph (58km). Water skiing instruction will teach falling skills, general safety guidelines, and proper skiing techniques, thereby reducing your risk of injury.
