FOREWORD
THE M Equipment thank you a lot for having decided to ride and purchasing our free touring telemark binding.
Skiing and telemarking is your passion but by nature it's a dangerous sport. You must understand and accept the
risks you take before you engage in it. You are entirely responsible for your actions and your decisions. On skis you
must show prudence and discernment. Read carefully and completely this document.
The Telemark bindings of The M Equipment integrate a release mechanism, which is not validated by a norm. These
bindings should release in the case of a fall if they are correctly used with shoes and skis i n good condition. However
because of the specificity of the Telemark a case could arise where the release is not guaranteed which could cause
serious injuries with unpredictable consequences. MEIDJO considerably reduces the risk of injuries to lower limbs,
but cannot completely exclude it.
When you ski please follow the usual recommendations in the practice of this sport and always control your
skiing, in function of your capacities and your physical condition, never overestimate your skill.
Make enquiries as to the blanket of snow conditions, meteorological conditions and risks of avalanche. Respect
the instructions and signals of danger in the zone in which you ski.
Do not tour or telemark if you feel tired or in bad physical form.
When using a leash always use The M Equipment leash.
During transport or storage always protect your material, especially your binding, from exterior aggressions
(shocks, dust, salt,...)
Always store your material in a clean and dry place.
Regularly control your bindings and check their correct functioning before each sortie. Make sure there is no
foreign body in the mechanism. Any foreign body in the mechanism of the bindings could cause problems in
the release.
In case of doubt, wear or corrosion, please have your bindings v erified by a store registered with The M
Equipment. Have your material controlled by a specialized retailer at least once a year, and at the beginning
of every season, your whole equipment: skis/shoes/bindings (general state and adjustment of release values).
The binding has to be directly mounted onto the ski. No other equipment, except THE M Equipment plate, has
to be mounted between the ski and the binding.
Before using the MEIDJO bindings:
Please read carefully all notices and warnings included,
Assure that you are familiar with their correct utilization, possibilities and limits,
