1. Untighten
ankle strap
(by loosening completely the
Buckle
strap
from the
buckle
of the strap) as well as the
toe strap
so as
to insert your boots and to adjust the
heel thrust
of
articulated
binding
plate to your boot size. See Fig.3
2. Place the toe of your boot against the front part of the
articulated binding plate, inside the toe strap, making sure the
webbing of the forefront strap is
above your boot
.
3. Adjust the heel thrust to the proper size of your boot using the
Morpholock system. See Fig.2:
3a-raise the
size adjust lever
with the help of
logo rubber tab
puller
and move the
heel thrust
on the binding to the proper
size of your boot: the heel of your boot must touch the back of
the heel thrust for
perfect maintaining of the boot while
snowshoeing
3b-when size is correctly adjusted release the rubber tab:
the heel thrust is then locked in the binding slots thanks to the
teeth of the size adjust lever.
4. Your boot is then well adjusted lengthwise: start
tightening
the toe strap firmly
by pulling the printed webbing after
insertion in the two holes quick buckle. Due to the flexible
material of the binding front lateral parts your boot perfectly
fits the binding.
5. Insert the loosened strap (step1) inside the two holes of the
buckle of the ankle strap around your boot then
tighten the

Snowshoeing
: keep
articulated binding
plate
free
from
snowshoe base when going flat, traverse, uphill or downhill: the
RTS
unlocked from base locker/step in all cases. The
articulated binding must
lay flat
on the snowshoe base or
stepping
on the extra high
metallic climbing step
when
climbing steep slopes: for this purpose rotate the
climbing step
forward in its upwards position (fig.3) from its idle position
(fig.2) with your gloves.

After use
,
untighten ankle strap
first: pull up the
buckle
of
the strap and pull out the ankle strap from the buckle. Then
untighten the toe strap: pull up the end of the quick buckle and
loosen the webbing. See fig 3. Remove your boot.
To store
the
snowshoe push the articulated binding on the base and lock it to
the base by
rotating the RTS so as to insert it into the base
locker/step.

.MORPHO® snowshoes don’t have a right or left
snowshoe. MORPHO recommends to wear the
snowshoes so that the ankle ratchet buckle and toe strap
buckles are on the outside of the foot so as to tighten
ankle and toe straps in the easiest way.
.Kneeling on one knee and wearing the other foot
snowshoe is the best position to be when putting on the
snowshoes. This gives you the best grip and leverage
for inserting and tightening the straps.
.Ankle and toe straps must firmly tightened around
your boot
.When rotating backward metallic climbing step to its
idle position make sure to fully push it down until it is
blocked by the snowshoe base
rear hook
. (fig.2)
.
Do not snowshoe on rock or concrete
, this causes
excess wear: take off snowshoes until you are back on
snow.
