OWNERS MANUAL
Thank you for purchasing CATEK Olympic 2 bindings for
Snowboards. CATEK Bindings are the highest performance
product available and are designed for longevity. Please read
this Owners Manual prior to Installation, Adjustment, and Use!
WARNING
Snowboarding is a hazardous sport performed on an inherently unstable platform. While snowboarding
there is significant risk of injury or even death to you or others. You are assuming this risk each and
every time you snowboard. Snowboarding is inherently dangerous. The owner of these bindings
assumes all liability for injury or even death to himself or others. CATEK Bindings by Caron Alpine
Technologies, Inc. are non-release bindings and do not reduce the risk of injury or even death. Most
snowboard injuries happen due to falling and you will undoubtedly fall. Injury is possible. Caron
Alpine Technologies, Inc. makes no claim that CATEK Bindings reduce the risk of injury or even death.
It is important that all users of these bindings carefully read this Owners Manual. Caron Alpine
Technologies, Inc. strongly recommends that these procedures be followed but makes no claim that
this is sufficient to avoid injury. This Owners Manual makes no claim to teach one how to snowboard.
If you are new to snowboarding you should receive instruction from a professional snowboard instructor.
Always follow Your Responsibility Code and use good judgment. These bindings are intended for use
only under adult supervision. These bindings must be carefully inspected prior to each use and any
parts that show wear or damage must be replaced prior to use. Failure to carefully inspect and maintain
this equipment will greatly increase the risk of injury or even death.

SETTING LIFT & CANT
The CATEK Dip Stick enables the repeatable and accurate setting of tilt (independent lift and cant) in an
efficient, real time manner. The CATEK Dip Stick has graduations that, when combined with a differential
measurement, correspond to one degree of lift or cant. Follow the instructions below to achieve repeatable tilt
settings per to your precise requirements.
TOE/HEEL LIFT
1.
Count the exposed graduations on the low end of the Binding Plate. Insert the Dip Stick through a hole
on the low end of the Binding Plate. Count the number of exposed graduations above the Binding Plate.
2.
Count the exposed graduations on the high end of the Binding Plate. Insert the Dip Stick through the hole
corresponding to the high end of the Binding Plate which is on the same side as the hole used in Step 1
above. Count the number of exposed graduations above the Binding Plate.
3.
The difference in counted graduations is your lift. Subtract the graduations counted in Step 2 from those
counted in Step 1. This is your lift angle in degrees!
CANT
1.
Count the exposed graduations on the low side of the plate. Insert the Dip Stick through a hole on the low
side of the Binding Plate. Count the number of exposed graduations above the Binding Plate.
2.
Count the exposed graduations on the high side of the Binding Plate. Insert the Dip Stick through the hole
corresponding to the high side of the Binding Plate which is on the same end as the hole used in Step 1
above. Count the number of exposed graduations above the Binding Plate.
3.
The difference in counted graduations is your cant. Subtract the graduations counted in Step 2 from those
counted in Step 1. This is your cant angle in degrees!
