Step by step: How to adjust a Tyrolia Attack ski binding
Step 1: Correct forward pressure
We start by adjusting the ski binding to match the length of your ski boot. The forward pressure created ensures that the binding releases only when necessary.
At the back of the binding, you'll find a metal lever to adjust the forward pressure and check if it's correctly set. With the ski boot in the binding, the lines on the lever should align with the back of the binding. If not, remove the ski boot from the binding. Lift the lever with a flathead screwdriver and push the heel piece forward. Place the ski boot back in the binding and check again.
Step 2: AFD pressure
Next, you'll adjust the height of the toe piece, affecting the pressure on the AFD (anti-friction device). The AFD reduces friction between the ski boot sole and the binding, designed to allow easy movement and rotation when needed while securely staying in place during skiing.
To check if the space between the AFD and the sole of the ski boot is correct, use something with a similar thickness to a business card. Insert it between the toe piece of the ski boot and the AFD. The card should have slight friction. Adjust the height of the toe piece with the screw at the front of the binding.
If the toe piece height is correct, repeat step 1 to ensure the forward pressure is still properly set.
Step 3: DIN settings
In the final step, you'll adjust the DIN settings. The DIN is a number indicating how much force a boot needs to release from the binding. The DIN you need depends on your skiing experience, weight, height, age, and sole length.
The Tyrolia Attack binding has a DIN indicator on both the heel and toe pieces, both of which should match your personal DIN. Adjust the indicators using a screwdriver. The screw to adjust the DIN on the heel piece is located on the back of the binding, and on the toe piece, it's on the side of the binding.
Now your Tyrolia Attack ski binding is properly adjusted, and you're ready to hit the slopes! One last piece of advice: check the adjustment of your bindings every ski season. Properly adjusted bindings are essential for safe and enjoyable skiing.
