MAINTENANCE
Suspension Cables
Inspect condition of Suspension Cables (

). If it

defective. Figure 37.

Side Runners
Verify the Side runners (
A
) mounted on the ski. If
they show flat spots bigger than 1 mm along the
edge, they should be re-sharpened. If the
measurement between the edge of the ski and
the edge of the runner is under 10 mm (13-14
mm when new), the part should be replaced. See
Figure 38.
Figure 38
Carbide Runners
If the ski lacks support through turns on ice, check
condition of carbide runners (
A
). If carbide inserts
(
B
) show abnormal wear, cracks or missing
fragments, replace the parts. If the carbide inserts
show flat spots wider than 2 mm, they do not
provide the necessary support. Replace them.
