BINDING MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE:
It is not recommended that any extra holes are drilled into the top surface of the skis.
O’Brien slalom skis have phenolic strips under the surface of the ski that help retain any screws
or inserts that come in the ski. It is very important that all screws are checked for snugness each
time before use of the ski, but without overtightening. Never use a ski that has missing or loose
screws.

ease of entry and exit. They also feature built in lateral stiffeners, contoured EVA footbeds, and
fabric overlays to fine tune the level of comfort and support preferred.
TARGA BINDINGS
: The Targa bindings feature a front lace system for easy entry, but have a
softer feel and more flexible fit. It is a perfect choice for the aggressive recreational skier who
needs both comfort and support.
X-9 BINDINGS
: The X-9 bindings feature three sizes and each size will accomodate a wide
range of shoe size. Features front lace system for easy entry with comfort and versatility.
BINDING LOCATION CHART
Note: Binding locations are given fomr FRONT bindings only. Rear binding location should
be decided after the front binding is mounted. The rear binding should be mounted as close as
possible to the rear of the front binding, allowing for toe room. There should be little to no gap
between the rear of the front binding and the toes of the rear binidng.
Front binding location is determined by measuring from the rear of the ski to the rearmost part
of the rubber or fabric on the front binding.
TO FURTHER REDUCE YOUR RISK OF INJURY

techniques, thereby reducing your risk of injury.
