MAINTENANCE REPAIRS
SKI MAINTENANCE MACHINE TUNING

A good ski maintenance is just as important for the recreational skier as for
the racer. SKI CHECK-UP
A well-prepared ski is a guarantee to maintain its performance (turns, grips, - Visually check to determine what needs to be tuned.
gliding, everything that makes the ski performing). - Remove major deep scratches on edges with whetstone.
- Remove any traces of wax or grease.
The maintenance of a pair of skis involves 2 main steps: After this check-up, different steps have to be done in order to maintain
1 – Daily check-up properly the skis.
- at the end of everyday of skiing The maintenance process can be adapted depending on the available
2 – Machine tuning machines (grinding, tuning, polishing, waxing, automatic machines or not).
But basic steps as followed are recommended.
- for a reliable and precise work”
DAILY CHECK UP STEP 1 : FILL IN ANY HOLES IN THE BASE

■ Superficial scratches : can desappear with a grinding machine (Step 2)
- Visually check to see if any rust has developed on the edges. ■ Not very deep scratches or marks to be filled by machine:
- Remove any traces with fine, 220-230 grit sandpaper. - Polyethylene:
- If necessary, sharpen and polish edges using sandpaper wrapped around - Wait 10 minutes for the material to harden
- Remove the excess polyethylene with a steel spatula for a flat surface
a file. - Proceed with the grinding machine (Step 2)
- Clean the base and wax with Swix wax.
■ Deep cuts:
- Cut out the damaged area
- Cut a piece of the corresponding base material
- Glue it into the damaged area
- Hold it in place with a clamp and press repair (glue the piece with Loctite®
406 or slow Araldite)
- Proceed with the grinding machine (Step 2)
STEP 2 : STONE GRINDING

■ Note: skis with plates or interfaces: please install binding-bridge kits
according to the “Maintenance specifics” paragraph.
■ Note: always make the last grinding run in this direction: Tip-Tail.
Concerning the machine parameters, please consult the machine manufacturer.
BASE FINISHING SPECIFICATION

If the base is damaged, it must be grinded after the repair work. The structure
should be smooth.
IN ORDER TO GET THE BEST ON THE SNOW, THERE ARE 2 TYPES OF STONE
GRINDING STRUCTURATIONS.
■ For a majority of the range, a standard base finishing is recommended:
- Roughness : Ra 2 – 4 µm
- No visible and specific structure (Photo A1)
This standard finishing is working in most of snow conditions.
A1 A2 A3
■ For High performance models (SL, GS, DH) a specific stone grinding
structure can be used, depending on the ski category (Photos A2 & A3).
- Roughness: Ra 5 – 8 µm
SKI
Note: A too strong structure (in term of roughness) will

degrade the behavior.
IMPORTANT: The base and steel edge finishing should be
carried out by trained personnel.

■ If < 1° ➞ very direct and aggressive edge grip
- Make sure all burrs are removed and smooth down again, if necessary.
> DEFECTS TO ABSOLUTELY AVOID
OFF SET POLISHING

If possible, a 0,1 mm off set is recommended on the base side ▼

> Advantage: The off set makes the ski extremely easy to turn
- Make sure the stones are well lubricated.

- Make sure the edges are not burnt (brown color).
- Check the tuning lengths. Here below the starting & ending of the tuning

STEP 4: WAXING, SCRAPING AND BRUSHING CLEANING THE SKIS

Tools:
- Wax remover - Iron with thermostat Pressurized cleaners are prohibited, as well as the following solvents:
- Wax applicator - Plastic scraper ›A cetone
- Brush ›9 5° alcohol
(due to risk of damaging the cosmetics of the top surface of the ski).
1. WAXING (photo C1)
MAINTENANCE SPECIFICS
C1
Tuning skis with prolink on automatically programmable machines and
machines with a lead:
To be able to tune skis with the Y and V prolink, we have developed a specific
tuning kit in cooperation with the Wintersteiger company.
This new Prolink adapter can be mounted on the adjustable Wintersteiger
bridge (ref. 2000: 7217-0111-V01) and is available at Wintersteiger under the
reference 7217-0111- V05.
- It’s best to use melted wax.

- Clean the base thoroughly.
- Make sure the iron is set at the appropriate temperature so that only the wax
is melted. (Temperature 110 °C +/- 5 oC or 230 °F +/- 10 °F).
Excess heat (above 120 °C or 248 °F) can be harmful to both wax and
ski, and can even cause permanent loss of glide qualities in the base.
- Choose a wax according to the wax manufacturer’s recommendations.
- Melt the selected wax over the entire length of the base, and let the wax cool
to room temperature.
2. SCRAPING (photo C2)
C2
- Remove the excess wax with a plastic scraper from tip to tail to leave only
a very thin layer.
- Remove wax from the base groove and ski edges as well.
3. BRUSHING (photo C3)
C3
SKI
- Brush the base with a nylon brush (or other type depending on the structure
desired) working from tip to tail.
- A rotating brush removes the structure of the base for good glide. Strap the
skis together. Position the straps at the base contact points.
Note: The skis can be stored ready-waxed (unscraped) for an extended
period of time (e.g. between ski seasons). 9

USING THE JIG
The main function of a jig is to insure that all

holes for mounting the binding are drilled in 1 2
the correct location.
See chart to select the proper jig.

1. Check that you have everything you need
(the jig that corresponds to the binding, the
right skis, the right boots).
2. Open the locking lever.
3. Open the jig by twisting both handles
inward.
Place the jig in the right direction on the ski.
Boot mid-sole mark
4. Place the jig on the ski and make sure that
the jig remains properly aligned to the ski Ski
during the entire drilling operation (fig.1).
- If the ski has a mid-sole mark, line up the
mid-sole indicator on the jig with the mid-
sole mark on the ski (fig.2).
- If the ski has a tip-of-the-boot mark, line
up the tip-of-boot-sole indicator on the jig
with the tip-of-boot mark on the ski.
- If the ski has no visible markings for jig
location, consult the ski manufacturer for
proper mounting position.
5. Once the jig is well-positioned on the ski, it
is important to adjust the jig to the correct
boot length to make sure the heel piece is in

MTN BINDING
(Option : heel piece with brake)
WARNING
These bindings do not comply with DIN/ISO 13992. The bindings have been designed, developed and produced to be used for extreme alpine skiing or ski racing.
There is no fine tuning of the release settings; they are designed to release when subjected to twisting and forward lean.
These bindings must only be used in conjunction with ski touring boots which have inserts for the bindings.
These bindings are not compatible with bellowed ski boots such as Scarpa F1/F3/Tx.
The effectiveness of the release mechanism of the bindings is highly dependent on insert and boot wear.

- rental ski shop practice
- sampling and inspection of complete and incomplete alpine ski-binding-boot systems in rental applications
(this supplement does not replace ISO 13993).
To keep your rental equipment in good condition while minimizing liability we recommend the following
program (this comes out of the ISO 13993 standard).
RENTAL INSPECTION SUMMARY

Since it is impractical to perform a full inspection each time a system is rented, a routine
of preseason and inseason inspections has been developed to verify release indicator accuracy, confirm
correct equipment function, and assure proper assembly and adjustment procedures by the rental shop
staff.
Fully implemented, the procedures that follow provide rental shop customers a standard of care
equivalent to that provided retail shop customers under current ISO and ASTM standards.

MEASURER
SIDAS/SALOMON FIT MEASURER
WARNING
THIS MEASURER ALLOWS MEASURES OF:
Salomon developed a foot measurer that will help you provide - Length: real Mondopoint/french sizes/UK sizes/US sizes
better customer service by being able to recommend the size that
corresponds to the dimensions (length and width) of the skier’s feet.
However, using the measurer can never replace trying on a boot.
The volume fit can be measured in two dimensions. The morphology of the
foot and physical sensitivity of each individual, according to his/her
sports activities and level (comfort/performance ratio), are also
determining factors in the choice of size.
The Salomon measurer can be used for all Salomon footwear
products (Alpine, X-C, Hiking, In-line skates, Snowboard) and
takes into account the two fundamental dimensions of both feet.
› The length (main measurement): it can be read directly on
5 international size scales (US men’s/ US women’s/ UK / EUR /
Mondopoint).
› The width in direct correlation with the length measured. The width
measurement is particularly useful to refine the measurement in
Mondopoint because it orients the customer towards the .0 sizes
(narrow feet) or .5 sizes (wide feet). THIS MEASURER ALLOWS MEASURES OF :
• Length : US Sizes / UK Sizes / French Sizes / real mondopoint
• Width : measured in mm, this value linked to the foot length
MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
can give an indication to help for the choice of the boot last :
Use a damp cloth to clean the measurer. It is prohibited to use
› N = Narrow feet = Boot last between 95 and 98mm
chemical agents, hot water, pressurized water, gasoline, alcohol,
› S = Standard feet = Boot last between 98 and 102mm

FOOT ANATOMY AND FIT
NOTIONS OF ANATOMY
1
A basic knowledge of anatomy of the foot is essential if
you are going to understand and solve your customers’
problems and needs since each foot is unique.
1. THE BONES OF THE FOOT

(fig. 1)
A. POSTERIOR TARSUS
1. Calcaneus
2. Talus (Astragalus)
3. Trochlear surface
B. ANTERIOR TARSUS

2. D
ISTORTION OF FOOT
WHEN WEIGHTED
(fig. 2)
When the foot is weighted (standing position), it can
change in size:
- lengthwise, it can get 5 mm longer,
- widthwise, it can get 12 mm wider.
When the foot is flexed, we notice:
- the circumference of the ankle increases about 2 mm,
- the axis between the talus (astragalus) and calcaneus
becomes off-centered which increases the surface area at
the base of the foot.
Therefore, to be accurate, feet should be measured when
the person is standing with his/her weight distributed
on both feet and knees slightly flexed.
3. TYPES OF LEGS
(fig. 3)
Some people naturally have varus or valgus knees. The
boot cuff follows the profile of the leg. Therefore, the
boot sole forms an angle with the ground (= the ski is
not flat).
The ski boots can be adapted to the shape of the leg by
canting the cuff. The canting adjustment by canting the 3
cuff allows the boot to follow the morphology of the leg
to keep skis flat.
BOOT
A: Normal knees. B: Varus knees. C: Valgus knees.

4. TYPES OF FEET
4
(fig. 4)
A deeper analysis of the customer’s feet is necessary
to observe the possible deformations that can become
problem areas. Salomon has parts at your disposal
that will help you to easily adapt the boots to these
deformations.
› High arches:
The skier needs an arch support that can relieve pressure
on ‘overloaded’ areas.
Arch supports can be attached to the footboards
(fig. A).
› Supinated or pronated feet:
This is the deviation of the foot’s vertical axis towards
the medial or lateral side, which can lead to problems
in the areas of the anklebones, navicular bone or talus.
To adapt to this deviation of the foot, it is possible to place
wedges directly on the footboard.
However, this wedge should only be used if the lateral
articulation under the ankle bone is mobile (fig. B). 1. Pronated flat foot. 2. Normal foot. 3. Supinated high-arched foot.
› High instep:
You can grind the footboard (Falcon and X Wave) to
increase the volume. This sole is realized in grindable
PU foam. To increase the volume of the boot or to
A C
change the position of the foot.
Caution, grind on the top surface only.
Grinding the base will effect the interface with the
Chassis. A depth gauge is marked front and back for
even grinding (fig. C).
› Low instep:
The height and inclination of the footboard can be
modified by adding:
– heel lifts (fig. D).
5. RECOMMENDATIONS
The modifications that can be made on the Salomon
boots should be considered as the ‘final touch’ of
personalization. B D
Before undertaking this type of operation, it is important
to observe certain basic rules:
- A lways proceed step by step, starting with
temporary measures before going on to
permanent changes.
- If you decide to proceed with the permanent
modifications as a last resort, they are entirely your
responsibility.
They require the proper tools and should
be undertaken only for big problems and by
experienced specialists. For example:
- Stretching the shell.
- G rinding the liner (not recommended for
manufactured liners).
- Grinding the shell.
Important: Boots whose lower shell material is not
made of Polyurethane (PU), should not be heated (risk
of damaging the material).
