Mounting the bindings onto the skis
The boots fitting the skis are 325 mm in length.
Mounting is usually the same as for a shoe of an identical length: the middle of the
shoe must be aligned with the marker of the ski.
Protection
When skiing in a Uniski or in a Dualski, the use of a ski helmet is strongly
recommended.
Use of skilifts
In France, the Dualski has authorization N° AVMH_735/99_D for the use of chairlifts
and ski lifts.
The attachment mechanism « TESSIER harness system » has received authorization
N° AVMH_734/99_B.
These authorizations are delivered by the « commission des matériels de ski assis »
(committee for seated skiing equipments) presided over by the STRMTG (division of
the Ministry of Transport, Equipment, Tourism and Sea).
They are available on request.
Also, the French Handisport Federation has set out regulations for seated skiing.
Use of draglift or T-bar lifts
These practical advice
s don’t replace any aspect of the authorizations.
- The skier must have in his possession the identification sheet of the harness
system with specifications in order to be able to show that it is conform.
- It is compulsory that a helper leaves first and is in a position of stopping the skilift,
using the emergency button, in the event of a malfunction of the harness system
or of any other problem.
This is a condition of the authorization’s validity.
- The skier must have already prepared his harness before arriving to the ski-lift
attendant. The semicircular ring of the harness must be closed. A plastic
adjustment enables the arch of the ring to be adjusted. This arch must be closed
to the maximum and should just allow the seat of the pole to pass.
- The ski-lift attendant must use the manual departing method for the pole.
- He passes the seat of the perch through the ring.
- At the moment of departing,
the ski-lift attendant must position the ring on the
seat of the pole and maintain the pole steadfastly at the front of it . This
enables the « slip-knot » of the harness to work instantaneously.
- The rope of the main hook release should not be attached to the hand but simply
held between the hand and st
abilizer’s handle, as it leaves with the ring in the
event of the safety hook release.
- On T-bar lifts, pass the hook one side or on the other side of the T-bar and
position it against the pole.
- The safety hook release cord must be put around the wrist and maintained on the
stabilizer’s handle like a ski pole sword knot.
- Once at the top of the ski lift, the skier releases his harness and go a bit further to
pack it.
