INSTRUCTIONS FOR MOUNTING V2 AERO XL 125 -150 BRAKE
Tools required:
9/64 Allen hex Key, #25 drill bit, #2 Phillips screw driver, electric drill and 9 mm socket wrench.
Brake Kit:
See Figure 1. Main Brake Assembly, two safety screws, socket screw and nut, three nylon spacers, #25 drill
bit and 9/64 Allen key.
ASSEMBLY OF THE BRAKE TO THE SKI
1:
Remove the socket bolt assembly from the lower brake arm leaving the nylon spacer (6) on the socket screw (8).
2:
Insert the screw (8) in the hole on the rear fork as shown in Fig. 2 and put the longer nylon spacer (7) over the screw.
The head of the screw must be on the side where the spring is attached as shown in Fig. 2. Place the brake assembly
between the forks and thread the screw into the assembly until the brake unit is flush with the nylon spacer (7) as shown
in Fig. 2.
3:
Place the second small nylon spacer (6) over the screw and while keeping the screw from turning with the 9/64 Allen
Key thread the nut onto the screw until the assembly is snug. If the assembly is too tight and the brake is not moving
freely, hold the nut with the wrench and back off the screw with the Allen key. The Brake pad should be about 1/16 to 1/4 “
(1.5 to 7 mm ) from the tire.
ADJUSTING THE BRAKE TO SUIT YOUR ANATOMY
The brake is divided into three segments, the lower vertical arm and the articulated second and third arms. With the spring
engaged and the lower arm locked in a vertical position with the spring loaded plunger engaged you can adjust the
second and third arms to suit your anatomy by changing the arm positions as shown in Figures 3 and 5. The brake should
not be touching your leg when skiing. Try various positions by securely tightening the socket screws in the brake arms as
shown in Figures 3 and 5. Once you are satisfied with the brake adjustments, drill a hole thru the middle brake arm using
the #25 drill bit and install the safety screw as shown in Fig. 4. The lower brake arm has a clearance hole for the safety
screw. You place the drill bit in the clearance hole and drill out the middle arm. We recommend installing only one screw.
If in the future you find that you need to re adjust the brake, you can use the safety hole on the opposite side of the arm.
The brake pad is positioned for the 150 skis. If you are using XL125’s you must lower the brake pad. Make sure the
screws are very tight when securing the brake pad.
CAUTION!
Make sure all socket screws are properly tightened. Check
the brake every time you ski.
