2004/2005 Binding Technical Features
2004/2005 SHOP PRACTICES MANUAL
The 2004/2005 Shop Practices Manual is published by Salomon for
Salomon Authorized Alpine Binding Dealers. This manual provides
current technical information, certification requirements, and
indemnification information. Please keep a copy of this Manual on
hand as a quick, easy, and reliable reference for servicing Salomon
alpine bindings. Because the content of the Manual changes every
year, you should keep previous editions available as references for
servicing older products. Your Salomon Certification Web site will
one day provide a resource of archived material for your reference
as well.
Salomon continues to be the number one winter sports brand
worldwide. Our goal is to advance our breakthrough technologies
featuring innovation in safety and performance binding systems.
Salomon is also the leader in binding systems, offering Pilot, ITF,
and e2 systems for improved performance in every type of skiing.
INTRODUCTION
Salomon Systems & Bindings
As the market continues to shift towards systems, Salomon continues to offer different constructions for
different skier types.
The ITF system, on page 17, offers skiers two performance enhancing options: the ITF FAST for hard snow,
“frontside”, and carving as well as the ITF FREE for the mixed snow conditions of “freeride”. Both systems allow
technicians to install the bindings virtually tool free. Slide the toe and heel onto the pre-mounted track, attach
the locking clip to the toe, attach the brake, and the binding is installed, ready to adjust. ITF systems are even
easier to readjust. All of this translates into less back-shop time for everyone.
The Pilot system is a unique performance concept, built around three key elements, Axis, Chassis, and
Transmitters. These three elements are further customized to provide technical solutions for specific needs:
going off-road in soft snow or skiing groomed slopes with power and control. All Pilot systems feature premounted and pre-drilled plates for quick, jig-free binding installation.
Driver bindings are for skiers looking for performance and security. Long toe wings provide great leverage and
micro-adjustable features allow the most precise adjustment of binding to boot. The Quadrax binding concept is
used on our Sport toe piece and offers a lighter weight system with controlled vertical release and self-adjusting
settings, making life easy for the technician in the shop.
Spheric Technology
90% of Salomon’s systems and most Salomon bindings offer Spheric Technology, providing skiers of all abilities
with a binding developed to help reduce the risk of certain knee injuries. Both Spheric and Spheric Oversize
protection is available on all binding levels for adult and junior, including rental.
Poweraxe Race GS & SL Plates
Both models of Poweraxe race plates are factory precision pre-drilled and pre-mounted to save valuable time on
binding installations. The Poweraxe Race SL is now available in one size only. Please refer to page 17 for information on Salomon’s newest race-proven interface, the ZZ LAB.
Salomon Synchro & e2 Rental Systems
The SES system introduced last year has evolved into the more versatile e2, Easy Enduro, system. The boot is
now compatible with alpine touring bindings. Salomon’s e2 system is also compatible with other e2 systems on
the market, but it is not compatible with the old SES system. All existing SES systems must be converted to e2,
(see page 41).
Salomon Synchro Rental & Demo Systems represent the state of the art in rental speed and efficiency. A
common mm scale is now employed on all Pilot and SC systems, color-coded to aid readability, (see page 36).
In addition, SC bindings provide 122 mm of adjustment, tool-free length adjustment, and no more central link to
interfere with bar codes.
New Salomon Junior Binding
The new Salomon C607 junior, on page 10, accommodates adult norm boot soles and offers a 2 to 7 DIN scale. This
new intermediate binding for 5 to 10-year-olds features shorter 6 mm screws for use on junior skis as short as 120 cm.

Certification & Indemnification
SCHEDULE OF INDEMNIFIED BINDINGS
Salomon alpine binding indemnification applies to the 2004/2005 Retail Binding Line, 2004/2005 Rental Binding
Line, Non-current Retail Binding Line and Non-current Rental Binding Line models listed below. Indemnification does
not apply to older non-indemnified binding models.
Non-Indemnified Bindings
Older models of Salomon bindings no longer on the Schedule of Indemnified Bindings may still be serviced, however
Liability Indemnification will not be offered by Salomon for these models of bindings. Dealers wishing to service
these models of bindings can reduce their liability risk by requiring an additional waiver and release agreement
and attaching it to the Workshop Form. Such waivers should be reviewed by a dealer’s own legal counsel to ensure
compliance with applicable laws.

PREPARATION & INSTALLATION
Before drilling the ski, be sure the boot you are using is compatible with the binding. Only boots that conform with applicable standards may be used with Salomon bindings. (See Standard Boot Sole
Dimensions for reference). If a boot sole is warped, worn or improperly canted, such that there is more than a 1 mm difference in sole
flatness measured across its width, the boot is incompatible.
Other Compatibility Problems You May Encounter
• Cut-outs in the boot sole that prevent the brake from
engaging properly.
• Excessive ramping or wear of the boot sole at the point
where it contacts the binding. Any wear that inhibits
binding function is excessive.
• Tread, grid pattern or insignia present in the AFD
area of the boot sole. This area must be flat over its
entire surface.
> Reference
• Non-compatible boot sole composition. Low-grade
thermoplastic (T.P.) boots may not be used with Salomon
bindings. If you are uncertain as to the quality of the boot
sole material, perform the Clean vs. Lubricated Test.
Only adult norm boots may be used with adult bindings. Under
no circumstances should a junior norm boot ever be used
with an adult binding. Salomon bindings that can be used
with both junior and adult norm boot soles are the S305,
C305, Q300, S300, Team/Force, 57 Junior, their Grom and
Mini equivalents, earlier model indemnified equivalents, and
their various rental counterparts. (The added width of an
adult norm boot sole somewhat limits the shock absorption
capability of these models and they should not be used with a
boot sole longer than 304 mm. As a result, it is recommended
that an aggressive junior skier with an adult norm boot sole
use a model designed exclusively for adult norm boots.)
A Salomon toe or heel may not be mounted with another
manufacturer’s toe or heel. Indemnification and warranty are
automatically voided for such mixed systems.

Jig Use: 10 Steps
A jig ensures that all holes for binding mounting are drilled in the correct location.
The bushings guide the drill bit so that it remains perpendicular to the ski.
A
1. Select the proper jig
for the binding model
to be mounted by
referencing the Jig
Reference Guide.
2. Check the skis’ serial
number to ensure you
are mounting a matched
pair. Place the skis on the
workbench with the ski
tips pointed to your left.
3. Open the jig by twisting
both handles inward.
Place the jig on the ski.
4. Open the locking lever.
5. Extend the jig to accept
the boot.
S Correct
6. Place the toe of the
boot sole against the toe
guide. Twist the rear
handle to open the rear
clamps and slide the heel
guide snugly against the
boot heel. Fig A
7. Close the locking lever.
(Compare the mid-sole
mark on the boot with
the mid-sole indicator
on the jig. If the mid-sole
mark on the boot and
the mid-sole indicator
on the jig do not agree,
use the mid-sole mark on
the boot. This requires
leaving the boot in the jig
to position it on the ski.)
Incorrect
8. Position the jig on the
ski. Fig S
a. If the ski has a mid-sole
mark, align the mid-sole
mark on the boot with
the mid-sole mark on
the ski.
b. If the ski has a tip-ofboot mark, align the
tip-of-boot sole indicator
on the jig with the tip-ofboot mark on the ski.
c. If the ski has no
visible markings for jig
location, consult the ski
manufacturer for proper
mounting position.
9. Once the jig is in
position, release the
handles simultaneously
and the jig will center
itself on the ski.
10. Re-check your work.
The ski is now ready to
be drilled. (Customers
may request that specific
mounting instructions be
followed. This is particularly true for skiers who
want to initiate turns
more easily. Make a note
on the Workshop Form
of any of these special
instructions.)

DRILLING, TAPPING & GLUE
Drilling
A Correct
Follow the recommendations
of the ski manufacturer for
drilling and tapping. In their
absence, Salomon suggests
that you use the Salomon
Drill Bit Selection Guide.
When in doubt about the ski’s
core composition, select a
3.6 mm diameter bit and drill
one hole. If the bit comes in
contact with any metal, redrill with a 4.1 mm bit.
Incorrect
Drill through the jig’s proper
bushings applying moderate
downward pressure on
the drill. Verify that the
countersink bevel on the
drill bit has properly deburred the hole. Fig A After
drilling, turn the ski over and
hit the base several times
with the palm of your hand
to remove any debris from
the drilled holes.

& Use
When mounting thin skis
or junior skis with adult
bindings you may need to
use shorter screws or add
washers to the existing
screws between the binding
and the ski to prevent
damaging the ski base.
Before drilling any junior
ski, check the screw depth
by positioning the binding
over the mounting area so
that the binding screws on
one side of the heel track
appear alongside the ski
sidewall. Fig S

Special Cases When Drilling Junior Skis
Adjustment
S
• Use a 9.5 mm length drill bit
when mounting S910 Team,
S608, and C608 and their
earlier model predecessors.
They use the same screws
as adult models
and should be drilled and
tapped accordingly.
• As a general rule, the
S910 Team is mounted on
skis 170 cm or longer and
the S608 or C608 on skis
140–170 cm. The S608 or
C608 can also be used with
skis 120–140 cm. The S305
Grom and C305 Grom are
generally used with skis
10
80-140 cm*. The shorter the
ski, the more likely washers
will be necessary to avoid
dimpling the ski base.
• The new Salomon C607
junior accommodates adult
norm boot soles and offers
a 2 to 7 DIN scale. This new
intermediate binding for
5 to 10-year-olds features
shorter 6 mm screws for
use on junior skis as short
as 120 cm.
due to poor screw retention.
The penetration depth
of junior screws into the
ski core is only 7 mm. If
necessary, use adult drill
bits and screws to penetrate
any mounting platform.
• The hole must be deep
enough to accommodate the
screw length you
are using or ski damage
may result.
• Whenever junior bindings
are mounted on adult skis,
an increased possibility
exists of binding pull-out
*EXCEPTION: S305’s and C305’s cannot be mounted on the Crossmax 10 Team or XScream 10
Team models manufactured from 2001 to 2003 inclusively. Both bindings may be mounted on
the 2004-2005 models of the Crossmax 10T and Crossmax T.

Tapping
Adjustment
A
Tap all binding mounting
holes unless otherwise
recommended by the ski
manufacturer. Failing to tap
when necessary can result
in topskin delamination,
sidewall delamination,
broken screws or damage
to the ski core.
The tap should be mounted
into a brace. Position the
brace so the tap goes
straight into the drilled hole.
Fig A Apply only enough
pressure to the brace to
start the tap, as the tap is
a self-cutting tool.
A ski mounting plate is
usually no more than 8 mm
below the topskin. Tapping
any deeper than 8 mm can
strip the hole or break the
tap. Each full turn of
the brace cuts the tap
approximately 2 mm into
the ski. After tapping, turn
the ski over and hit the
base several times with the
palm of your hand to remove
shavings from the hole.
Glue
Adjustment
Glue must be used when
inserting binding screws to:
• Lubricate the screw during
insertion.
Place a drop of glue on the
surface of each hole. As the
screw passes through the
glue it coats itself.
> Additional Reference
• Create a watertight seal.
Retail
Mounting
• Ensure that the screws will
hold while the ski is in use
by acting as a dampener.

(Fig A) at the appropriate
length: A 265 – 282, B 283 –
296, C 297 – 312, D 313 - 326,
E 327 – 343 mm. Make a note
of the corresponding letter
next to the boot sole length
on the ZZ blade spacer.
Slide the blade spacer onto
the ZZ blade until it rests
against the black base plate.
Make sure the metal blade is
properly seated in spacer.
Insert the end of the blade
spacer into the recessed
area on the bottom of the toe
piece base plate. Fig S
Insert the post of the ZZ
blade lock plate between the
rear two screws of the toe
piece. Press firmly into place.
Fig D
Attach the appropriate
lifter shim, (yellow = 2 mm,
black = 1 mm).
Installation
Align the binding assembly
on the ZZ interface using
the letter code on the blade

MONOSKI & POWDER (WIDE) SKIS
Monoski Binding Use
Adjustment
Paper jigs (Ref. #887528
and #001023) are available
from Salomon to mount
Salomon bindings on
monoskis. Skiers using
monoskis must be cautioned
and warned in writing that:
• Salomon bindings are
not designed for use with
monoskis.
• Both external brake arms,
which overhang the sides
of the monoski, must be
retained.
• The technician must
install a leash and
instruct the skier that it
must be used at all times
while the equipment
is in use.
• The use of a leash
increases the chance of
being hit by the monoski
after release, but that
they must assume the
risk as a condition of
using a monoski.
• The leash should be
attached around the
ankle area of the boot.
• There should be sufficient
slack on the leash to
allow the heel to open.
• The “Limited Binding
Warranty” becomes null
and void when bindings
are used on monoskis.
To receive indemnification
from Salomon, the following
information must be written
on, or attached to, the
Workshop Form and signed
by the skier. “Salomon ski
bindings and brakes are
designed for assembly
and use with a pair of skis.
Mounting them on a monoski implies a use for which
they are not designed. The
skier must accept any new
risk such a use may create.
The skier agrees to use
a leash at all times when
using this equipment, and
freely assumes the risks
associated with this usage.”

Fat Ski Jigs are available from Salomon to mount bindings
on fat skis. Select the proper jig for the binding to be
mounted by referencing the Jig Selection Chart.
Reversible pads adapt fat ski jigs to different widths of
skis. The pads are changed by pulling them off the jig and
repositioning them to achieve the desired width. Fig A
The pads are properly positioned when they
touch the jig shoulder.
• 98 - 124 mm skis: Thin sides of the reversible pads are
positioned to the inside of the ski. Fig Sa
• 80 - 106 mm skis: Wide sides of the reversible pads are
positioned to the inside of the ski. Fig Sb
• Asymmetric mounted bindings: The pads are positioned
for the desired alignment, e.g., the right pads are
positioned with the thin side of the pads to the inside
of the jig and the left pads are positioned with the thick
side of the pads to the inside of the jig or vice versa.
The positioning will off-center the binding 4.5 mm.
Fig Sc The pads must be positioned in the opposite
manner to drill the second ski of the pair. Fig D

& Use
Note: Propulse, Spheric and Quadrax ski brakes cannot be
mounted on skis wider than 68 mm. Refer to the Fat Ski
Brakes chart (above) for both asymmetric and symmetric
applications. The proper width fat ski brake must be
installed for each specific system or indemnification for
that system will not apply.
Extra Large Boot Soles
Adjustment
Occasionally a boot sole is too large to fit a jig. In this
instance, the following procedure should be used to allow
correct mounting of the binding:
1. Open the jig to its fully extended position.
2. Place the boot heel into the jig against the heel guide.
3. Measure the length of the sole that extends over the
toe arrow (viewed from the underside) of the jig.
4. Divide this length in half (measurement A).
5. Place the fully extended jig onto the ski with the boot
mid-sole mark aligned with the mid-sole mark on the ski.
6. Move the jig forward of the mid-sole the same distance
as measurement A and drill the toe holes.
7. Re-align the jig’s mid-sole mark to the ski’s mid-sole
mark. Move the jig backwards from the mid-sole mark the
same distance as measurement A and drill the heel holes.
8. Install the bindings. (Verify that screw penetration will
not exceed hole depth.)

RELEASE VALUE SELECTION & Adjustment
Skier Types
It is the skier’s responsibility to determine Skier Type. Skier Type is not the same as skier ability and the two
should not be confused. Skier Type must be indicated on the workshop form or rental form by the skier.
The Skier Classification Chart is available in small and large poster size versions from Salomon and should be
displayed to assist customers in classifying themselves.
What type of skier are you?
release in order to increase the
likelihood of release in a fall.
• Type 1 settings apply to “entry-level
skiers uncertain of their classification”.
Determining your SKIER TYPE is
your responsibility! Your skier type,
height, weight, age and ski boot sole
length are used by the shop to determine the visual indicator settings of
your ski bindings. Be sure to provide
accurate information, as any error
may increase your risk of injury.
Consult these descriptions to select
your classification:
TYPE 2 “Moderate skiing at
AVERAGE visual indicator settings”
• Prefer a variety of speeds.
• Prefer varied terrain.
• Type 2 skiers are skiers who do not
meet all the descriptions of Type 1 or
Type 3 skier types.
TYPE 1 “Cautious skiing at LOWER
visual indicator settings”
• Prefer slow to moderate speeds.
• Prefer gentle to moderate terrain.
• Receive lower than average visual
indicator settings. This may increase
the risk of inadvertent binding
TYPE 3 “Aggressive skiing at
HIGHER visual indicator settings”
• Prefer fast speeds.
• Prefer steep terrain.
• Receive higher than average visual
indicator settings. This may reduce
the likelihood of release in a fall
in order to decrease the risk of
inadvertent binding release.
If from experience, you have been
dissatisfied with visual indicator
settings resulting from your selected
skier type classification, you may
wish to consider: (a) changing your
skier type classification; (b) selecting
different skier type classifications for
toe and heel components; (c) selecting
skier Types -1 ("for skiers who desire
visual indicator settings lower than
settings for a Type 1 skier") or 3+ ("for
skiers who desire visual indicator
settings higher than settings for a
Type 3 skier").
These descriptions are compatible with
ASTM and ISO documents.
Requested Settings
> Reference
Skiers Requesting Settings Not
Recommended by Salomon
The 2004/2005 Salomon Adjustment Chart is the only
release adjustment chart authorized for use by Salomon
dealers during the 2004/2005 season. Salomon recognizes
a skier’s right to choose settings outside those recommended as per the current Salomon Adjustment Chart
(particularly when the skier’s preferred setting is also
within the range of acceptable settings).
If the skier requests a setting other than the one derived
from the current Salomon Adjustment Chart, the shop may:
• Adjust the system to individual requests IF the technician
notes on the workshop or rental form the reason the
higher or lower setting was requested. The customer
must verify the request for the higher or lower settings
by signing and dating the form by the noted reason of
the setting request. (It is suggested that the shop have
the skier sign a release identical to the release printed
on this page. The release must then be attached to the
completed workshop or rental form.) NOTE: Current
Salomon workshop and rental forms include a "Requested
Settings" option for customer requested settings, which
eliminates the need for a separate release in such
instances.
• Adjust the system to the setting derived from the
Salomon Adjustment Chart and instruct the skier on
how to change the setting.
Release Agreement
I,
hereby acknowledge that I have been advised by the
(rental shop, sales
department, etc.) that the setting which I have requested for
my bindings (Model
)
is not the setting recommended by the manufacturer of the
bindings for a skier of my height, weight, age and skier type. I
understand that as a condition of obtaining this setting on the
bindings at the time of their delivery, I must agree to forever
release the shop, its employees and agents, the manufacturer,
and the distributor from any and all liability for injury or death
which results to me or others from the use of these bindings.
I acknowledge that there may be increased risk of injury or
death to me as a result of my own personal preference for
binding setting, particularly in view of the inherent and other
risks of the sport of skiing. I hereby waive all claims arising
from the use of the bindings and release from all liability the
shop, the distributor and the manufacturer, their agents and
employees and I further agree to indemnify them from any
and all liability or harm or damage of any kind whatsoever
which may result from the use of these bindings by myself or
anyone I allow to use the bindings.
I, the undersigned, have read and understand this liability
release agreement, and agree that it is binding upon me, my
heirs, guardians, administrators, assigns, and legal representatives.

2004/2005 SALOMON
ADJUSTMENT CHART
The 2004/2005 Adjustment Chart
is the only release adjustment chart
authorized for Salomon dealers
during the 2004/2005 season. Only
those settings recommended by
Salomon should be used when determining the appropriate adjustment
for each skier’s system. Refer to
Skier’s Requesting Settings Not
Recommended by Salomon (page 24)
for skiers requesting other settings.
Procedures
The following procedure is used
for determining visual indicator
settings using the 2004/2005
Salomon Adjustment Chart.
1. Find the Skier’s Code. Locate
the skier’s weight and height
in the first two columns. If the
skier’s weight and height are
not in the same row, select the
Skier’s code that is closest to
the top of the chart.
2. The skier’s code is appropriate
for Type 1 skiers:
• For Type 2 skiers, move down
on the chart one row.
• For Type 3 skiers, move down
on the chart two rows.
• For Type -1 skiers, move up on
the chart one row.
• For Type 3+ skiers, move
down on the chart three rows.
• A skier may select different
skier types for toe and heel
piece.
3. For skiers age 9 and younger or
age 50 and older, move up the
chart one row.
4. Locate the column that
represents the skier’s boot sole
length (in millimeters).
5. The box at the intersection of
the skier’s boot sole length
column and the Skier’s Code

All current model Salomon bindings
use the DIN adjustment scale. Release
setting numbers on this scale are
referred to as “visual indicator
settings.” Some older model Salomon
bindings were manufactured prior to
the establishment of the DIN standard
scale and use a different adjustment
scale. Refer to previous Shop
Practices Manuals to adjust these
models.

Twist Test (Toe).
Exercise the toe by releasing
it once in each direction.
Measure and record the test
result for both clockwise
and counterclockwise directions Fig A with a force or
torque-measuring device.
The test result is the middle
quantitative value of three
measured release values.
If the first two measured
values are the same, there
is no need to take a third
measurement.
Examples of middle
quantitative values above:
The toe passes this
inspection if the test results
in both directions fall within
the “Inspection Range” as
determined from the Salomon
Adjustment Chart. See
Sample Systems Inspection
Ranges above.
If your test results for
clockwise and counterclockwise release appear
to be at opposite extremes
of the inspection range,
you may have an installation error or an incompatible boot. This is known
as asymmetric release.
Troubleshoot the system
and re-test after the
problem has been corrected.
S
Forward Lean Test (Heel).
Exercise the heel by
releasing it once. Measure
and record the test result
using a force or torque
measuring device. Fig S The
test result should be within
the “Inspection Range.” If
both twist and forward lean
results fall within the appropriate inspection range,
mark “Pass” (√) on the
Workshop Form for “Release
Value Within Specified
Range.”
If the twist or forward lean
test results are not within
the “Inspection Range” but
are within the greater
“In-Use Range,” the visual
indicator of the component
affecting the test result
should be readjusted to
bring the test result within
the “Inspection Range.” If
the test result is outside
the “In-Use Range,” refer to
Troubleshooting on page 29.
It is not necessary to record
any of the test results on
the Workshop Form. It is
only necessary to record
whether the system passed
or failed each inspection
and the final visual indicator
settings. Any system
component that repeatedly
fails any inspection should
not remain in use. When the
technician is satisfied that
all required procedures
have been completed
according to Salomon’s
recommendations in this
manual, he or she must
sign the Workshop Form.
(The signing technician
must be currently certified
by Salomon.)

FINAL CHECKING
TROUBLESHOOTING
Boot/Binding systems wear with time. This is expected. Normal wear and/or
fatigue of a system can be expected. If a system inspection indicates a system
is not functioning as intended, the cause of the problem must be identified and
corrective action should be taken.
The first step is to re-examine each component of the
ski/binding/boot system individually. If a problem is found,
e.g., stripped toe height screw, out-of-standard boot sole,
improperly mounted binding, missing AFD, etc., proper
Binding-to-Boot Adjustments cannot be made. No further
work can be performed on the system. Mark “Fail” (√) on
this section of the Workshop Form.* If the system failed the
Test for Elastic Travel & Return, check that all boot/binding
interfaces are clean, smooth and clear of debris. If the boot
is dirty, clean it with a solution of mild dish washing soap
and water. If the binding is dirty, clean it according to the
procedures described in Maintenance and Repair. Check
that the boot enters the binding correctly. Make sure the
boot is properly positioned in the toe and heel cups. Check
the visual indicator settings. They should not exceed the
minimum or maximum setting and should be set appropriately for the skier. Re-test the system for Elastic Travel
& Return. If the system fails this test, mark "Fail" (√) on
this section of the Workshop Form.*
If the system failed the Test for Boot/Binding Compatibility,
recheck the system to make sure all components are
compatible. If no problem is detected, perform a Clean vs.
Lubricated Test. To perform a Clean vs. Lubricated Test,
all adjustments to the system, e.g., visual indicator settings,
forward pressure adjustments, etc., must be the same as
when the system was previously tested. Lubricate the boot
with a mild dish washing soap wherever it contacts the
binding and wipe off any excess lubricant. Perform the twist
and forward lean tests as done previously and record your
results. Next, compare the results of the lubricated test
with those of the previously performed non-lubricated clean
test. Plot the results on the Compatibility Tables. If the
results don’t fall within the shaded “Pass” window on the
table, the BOOT is incompatible with the binding and should
not be used. Mark “Fail” (√) on the Workshop Form.*
If no problems have been found with the system and the
Release Value Within Specified Range cannot be obtained,
further tests must be undertaken. First, switch testers to
check operator accuracy. Next, check the accuracy of the
testing device per the device manufacturer’s recommendations. Re-test the system. If the system releases outside
the “In-Use Range,” mark “Fail” (√) on this section of the
Workshop Form.*
If the customer refuses to have work done that is necessary
to bring the system within standards, or requests work
that violates the recommendations of this manual, the
technician should check the box next to the statement
indicating out-of-standard components on the Workshop
Form. A note should be made in the Comment section of the
form describing the problem and the skier should be warned
that continued use of the system is inadvisable. The shop
will not be indemnified for work done on that system.
* The customer should be informed of, and authorize, action needed to correct the problem. Please refer to the Technical
Reference section for warranty information on binding components covered under warranty.

SKIER INSTRUCTION & WARNING
When the Certified Technician signs or initials the Workshop Form, the technician attests
that all procedures have been completed. It is not necessary for the technician to personally
provide the skier with instructions as long as the shop does. To help reduce your shop’s
liability risk and to receive indemnification from Salomon, take the following steps whenever
a skier picks up their equipment. (If the individual picking up the equipment is not the
intended user, treat that individual as though they were the intended user. In the case of
minor skiers, follow these steps in the presence of both the minor skier and a parent or
legal guardian.)
Explanation of Entry/Exit/Re-entry.
The proper use of the system (entry, exit and re-entry) must
be explained using the skier’s own system as an example.
Explanation of Parts
and Release Adjustments.
> Reference

32 Salomon
Workshop Form
Show the skier where the visual indicator adjustment caps/
screws are located. Point out the binding-to-boot adjustments. Indicate where the visual indicator settings are
recorded on the Workshop Form and have the customer
verify that the settings recorded on the form agree with
the settings appearing in the visual indicator window of the
binding. (It is not necessary to explain how these numbers
are derived.) Although skiers may work on their own system,
suggest that if a problem develops, the system should be
taken to a Salomon Authorized Binding Dealer.
Receipt of In-Box Instructions.
When a skier purchases a new binding, it is required that
they also receive the in-box pamphlet included in each
binding box. The pamphlet should be reviewed with the
skier so that it is fully understood.
Skier Signature on the Workshop Form.
The skier must read and understand the conditions specified
in the Liability Release Agreement. Point out that the skier
is signing a release of liability and that included in the
release is a specific warning that the binding will not release
under all circumstances nor is it possible to predict every
situation in which it will release, and it is, therefore, no
guarantee of the skier’s safety.
The Skier must then
sign the Workshop Form,
indicating the skier:
• Has been instructed in the proper use of the equipment.
• Has received the in-box pamphlet (new bindings only).
• Has verified that the visual indicator settings correspond
to the recorded settings on the Workshop Form.
• Has read and understands the specific information on the
Workshop Form that releases the shop, manufacturer and
distributor from liability.
• Understands that skiing involves inherent risks and
that injuries are a common and ordinary occurrence of
the sport.
• Understands that included in the Liability Release
Agreement is the specific warning that the binding will
not release at all times or under all circumstances where
release may prevent injury or death, nor is it possible to
predict every situation in which it will release, and it is,
therefore, no guarantee of their safety.
• Understands that the bindings should be maintained
as per suggestions in Maintenance Guidelines prior to
the beginning of each season and every 30 skier days
per year.
The person who signs the Workshop Form should be the
intended user of the equipment. In the case of a minor
skier, the signature on the form must be that of the skier’s
parent or legal guardian. If someone other than the skier or
the skier’s parent or guardian picks up the equipment, this
person should be treated as though he or she were the skier
and, therefore, must sign the Workshop Form. A note must
be placed on the Workshop Form that the “agent” must
transmit the information to the intended user. If a skier
refuses to sign the Workshop Form, Salomon will not provide
indemnification and the shop should consider refusing to
provide service to the skier.
Receipt of Workshop Form.
The skier must be given a copy of the Workshop Form that
includes a signed copy of the Liability Release Agreement.

FINAL CHECKING
RETAIL RECORD KEEPING
A Salomon authorized shop is required to keep accurate records of work performed. Aside
from the legal reasons, accurate records provide a permanent history of the customers
you have serviced over the years. Workshop records must be kept for five years or for the
statute of limitations of the state or province, whichever period is longer. The following is a
list of information* that must be recorded every time a Salomon binding is mounted and/or
adjusted. It is not necessary to use a Salomon Workshop Form, but any form that the
shop uses should include all the information listed below.*
1. *Date of transaction.
2. *Name and address of the skier.
3. *Skier’s height, weight, age and skier type.
4. *Skis (brand, model and serial number).
5. *Boot (brand, model and sole length).
6. *Binding (brand and model).
7. *Skier’s Code.
8. *System inspection results ("Pass" or "Fail" for all
functional tests must be indicated).
9. *Visual indicator settings.
10. *Salomon Certified Technician’s initials or signature
attesting that all functional tests and instructional
procedures have been completed.
11. *Liability Release Agreement which is either the same
as/or substantial equivalent of the Salomon form.
12. *Skier signature (or that of the skier’s agent or, in the
case of a minor, that of the skier’s parent or guardian)

(new bindings only).
c. Has verified that the visual indicator settings correspond to the recorded visual indicator settings.
d. Has read and understands the Liability Release
Agreement on the Workshop Form.
e. Understands that there are inherent and other risks in
the sport of snow skiing and agrees to assume those
risks.
f. Understands that included in the Liability Release
Agreement is the specific warning that the binding
will not release under all circumstances where release
may prevent injury or death, nor is it possible to
predict every situation in which it will release, and
it is, therefore, no guarantee of their safety.

I understand that the binding system cannot guarantee the user’s
safety. In downhill skiing, the binding system will not release at all
times or under all circumstances where release may prevent injury
or death, nor is it possible to predict every situation in which it
will release. In snowboarding, cross-country skiing, skiboarding,
snowshoeing and other sports utilizing equipment with non-release
bindings, the binding system will not ordinarily release during use;
these bindings are not designed to release as a result of forces
generated during ordinary operation.

PREPARATION & INSTALLATION
Preparation
It is important to maintain consistent procedures when
mounting any Salomon binding and to determine that
the boot you are using is compatible with the binding.
Any boot used with a Salomon rental binding must be
visually inspected for compatibility. For more information
see page 8.
All rental skis must have an Identification Number and a
method to record maintenance and testing information
(e.g., Salomon sample Ski/Binding Maintenance Record
and Boot Maintenance Record).
Boot/Binding Compatibility. Bindings are designed to be
used with specific norm boot soles, i.e., junior norm boot
soles with junior bindings and adult norm boot soles with
adult bindings. Under no circumstances should a junior boot
be used with an adult binding. The Q400 SR and its earlier
predecessors may be used with both junior and adult model
boot soles. The C305 and S305 are designed for use with
junior norm boot soles and smaller adult norm boot soles.
Low-grade thermoplastic (T.P.) boots may not be used with
any Salomon system. Consult the boot manufacturer to
confirm that all boots in your inventory meet international
norms for boot sole coefficient of friction and dimension.
Characteristics of low-grade T.P. boots are their oily finish,
the way the cuff puckers when folded and the ease with
which the sole can be indented with a thumbnail. If in
doubt as to the quality of the boot sole, perform a Clean
vs. Lubricated Test as described on page 29. T.P. boots,
or any other boots that fail this test, should be removed
from inventory.
Jig Selection
> Reference
One jig (Ref. #001003) is needed to mount most current
model Salomon rental bindings. The jig can be used for both
Synchro or non-Synchro systems. The exceptions are S912
Ti Pe2 Demo (Jig Ref. #001156) and the e2/Extralight SC
(Jig Ref. #78313301).
See page 36 for Synchro preset requirements. Contact
your customer service representative for additional jigs

Synchro System. The Salomon Synchro System is designed to simplify rental operations. The system
eliminates the need to place a boot in the binding to make adjustments, resulting in increased overall
efficiency. It is possible to reduce the amount of time spent on adjusting each system by up to 40%.
Setup efforts of the system are minimal, since the only extra step for Synchro setup is the placement
of Synchro Sizing Stickers on all boots.
To set up the Synchro Systems, you will need:
Salomon rental bindings with Synchro Heel Guides,
Rental jig(s),
Synchro Sizing Stickers (Ref. #006017),
Synchro Sizing Stickers (SR Ref. #006016),
Salomon Boot Sole Measuring Device (Ref. #001189),
Rental Adjustment Tool (Ref. #000902).

First, set the jig to the
proper position. It is imperative that the jig be set
correctly and all bindings
be mounted at the correct
position. For consistent
mounting, drill the jig and pin
it in the correct position.
Next, place the jig properly
on the ski, drill the ski and
remove any shavings. Place a
drop of glue onto the drilled
holes. On SC (moveable toe)
model bindings, mount the
toe plate securely with the
four screws provided Fig A.
Move the adjustment lever

Rental Testing Overview
Pre-Season Boot-Binding:
1. Visually inspect and clean all boots and bindings in
inventory.
2. Test all bindings with a mechanical testing device using
selected reference boots.
3. Test a sample of boots with a mechanical testing device
using selected reference bindings.
4. Record all test results on the individual boot or ski/
binding inventory log as “Pass” or “Fail.”
In-Season Binding:
1. Random sampling inspection (including mechanical
testing) must be performed at specified intervals.
2. Sample Size is dictated by amount of equipment actually
used.
3. Half of sample is from actual systems used (ski/boot/
binding system not readjusted) and half of sample is from
inventory (may be readjusted).
4. Test all sample units and classify each result as “Pass,”
“Class I,” “Class II,” or “Troubleshooting.”
5. Determine the schedule for further testing (and
corrective action if necessary).
6. Record all test results as “Pass” or “Fail.”

INSPECTION RANGE
The mechanical inspections discussed in
this section are required of U.S. dealers and
are strongly recommended for Canadian
dealers, both in the interest of consumer
protection and as a sound risk-management
practice. Maintenance records must be kept
for all bindings and boots in inventory for
both pre-season and in-season inspections.
Only Pass/Fail results should be recorded.
If bindings are switched from one pair of
skis to another, this should be noted on the
records. To receive indemnification from
Salomon, maintenance records must be
kept on file for five years or the statute
of limitations in your state or province,
whichever is longer.

Adjustment Chart may be used. Simply select any setting in the mid-range of the visual indicator scale of the binding and any appropriate
boot sole length in your inventory. Determine the skier code on the chart, then use the inspection range indicated by the skier code.
PRE-SEASON INSPECTIONS
Pre-Season Binding Inspections
Adjustment
The purpose of pre-season binding inspections is to ensure
that all components are functioning properly. Start by preselecting several samples representative of your rental boot
inventory. These samples must pass all visual inspections
(see Final Checking) and should be clean. Select sample
boot sole length according to the Pre-Season Inspection
Table (see previous page).
Make all appropriate binding-to-boot adjustments. If there
are any preset or Synchro binding adjustments, verify
their accuracy. It is suggested that the indicator of each
binding component be set according to the Pre-Season
Inspection Table.
Note: Any binding component that tests outside the
“Inspection Range” should be inspected and re-tested.
If the new results are still outside the “Inspection Range,”
but within the “In-Use Range,” a correction factor* must
be applied to bring the mechanical test results within the
“Inspection Range.”
For any binding component that tests outside of the “In-use
Range” refer to Troubleshooting.
All used bindings should be cleaned and lubricated before
performing the following inspections:
• Test for Lateral Elastic Travel and Return.
• Test for Vertical Elastic Travel and Return.
• Verification That Release Values are Within
Specified Range.
> Reference
Pre-Season Boot Inspections
Final Checking 26
Adjustment
Pre-season boot inspections verify that boots in inventory
can be used interchangeably with all appropriate bindings.
Visually inspect all boots for compatibility and interchangeability according to criteria listed on Preparation &
Installation. Correct any boot compatibility defect(s) that
are found. If the defect cannot be corrected, the boot
must be removed from inventory.
Used Boots
A random sample of 5% (not less than 16 nor more than 80
units) of inventory must be tested according to the following
procedures. The sample should include one boot typical of
each boot cell (a boot cell is defined as all boots of the
same make, model, year of manufacture and sole length).
• Apply a thin film of mild dish washing soap to all
boot interface points of the other binding and label
it “lubricated.”
• Using a mechanical testing device, measure and record
the twist test result (clockwise or counterclockwise) in
one direction only and the forward lean test result of
the random sample boot in the “clean” binding.

• Select two skis with bindings of the same model.
• Adjust both bindings to release at their mid-range
“Reference Value” of the appropriate “Visual Indicator
Setting” using a mechanical testing device with a typical
boot in good condition of the appropriate Sample Boot
Sole Length.
• Clean both bindings with mild dish washing soap and
water at all boot interface (contact) points and wipe
them dry.
• Label one binding “clean.”
• The test results for the clean test must be within the
“Clean 25%” range for the appropriate setting.
• If either the clean or lubricated test results fall outside
the acceptable ranges, re-inspect the boot, correct the
defect, and re-test the boot. Remove from inventory any
boot that does not pass both tests. Re-inspect, repair (if
necessary) and test all suspect boots of the affected cell.
*A correction factor is determined by
adjusting the binding component’s visual
indicator scale at half-setting intervals to
bring the binding component’s test result
to within the “Inspection Range.” This
correction factor must then be placed
on the ski next to the affected binding
component (toe/heel) and recorded in
your ski/binding maintenance records.
New or Unused Boots
A single unit random sample typical of each boot cell (boots
of the same make, model, year of manufacture and sole
length) must be tested according to procedures used for
testing in the Used Boots section.
43
IN-SEASON & DEMO INSPECTIONS
In-Season Inspections
Adjustment
In-season inspections must be performed on random samples
of rental inventory during the season to ensure equipment is
functioning properly. Any sampling program that gives every unit
of inventory an equal chance of being selected is valid. The purpose
of random sampling is to detect, correct and prevent deficiencies.
Deficiencies (deviations) fall into the following categories:
Deviations - Class I
Class 1 Deviations in torque test results are results that are outside
the Inspection Range but within the In-Use Range. These are minor
deviations requiring no corrective action unless these deviations
exceed an acceptable number of the sample tested. Please refer to
the “Sample Sizes” chart for the definitions of these limits. Minor
deviations in excess of the allowable limit cause the sample to
fail and the entire appropriate inventory must be checked. Class
1 torque deviations should then be corrected using a correction
factor as explained on page 43. Other Class 1 Deviations such as
• failed test for elastic travel
• improper ski brake operation
• poor boot to binding contact
• incorrect forward pressure
should all be corrected as they are discovered. However, do not prompt
an inspection of the entire inventory unless these deviations exceed an
acceptable number per sample size, causing the sample to fail.

By quickly identifying Class I Deviations, this random sampling
method can prevent more serious defects from occurring.
Deviations - Class II
Class II Deviations are minor deviations that prompt inspection of
the entire inventory and corrective action. Class II Deviations are
torque results that fall outside the “In-Use” range but not more
than 3 horizontal rows up or down from the reference torque value.
Whenever a Class II Deviation is detected, the source of the defect
must be determined and all the appropriate inventory must be
checked for the defect. Defects must be corrected according to
Troubleshooting or the affected product(s) must be removed from
inventory. Detection of a Class II Deviation causes the sample to fail.
Deviations - Class III
Class III Deviations are major deviations that prompt corrective
action and a review of all procedures. Class III Deviations are torque
results that are more than 3 horizontal rows up or down from the
reference torque value. In-season sampling and inspection render
occurrence of a Class III Deviation unlikely. Should a Class III
Deviation be detected, all defects must be corrected or the affected
product(s) must be removed from inventory. Detection of a Class III
Deviation causes the sample to fail.
Sample Frequency
Random sampling is conducted throughout the entire season.
Sampling frequency is as follows:
• Sampling is conducted after 7 days of operation.
• If the sample passes, the next sampling is taken after another
7 days of operation.
• If two consecutive samples pass, sampling frequency is every
14 days.
• If a sample fails at any time, daily sampling is instituted until two
consecutive samples pass.
• Sampling then continues normally, i.e., after every 7 days, after
every 14 days, etc.
Sample Criteria
An equal number of units (single ski/binding) must come from units
that are “ready to rent” and units that are in “returned condition.”
• Ready to rent units may be tested at any visual indicator
setting and boot.
• Returned condition units must be tested at the visual indicator
setting and boot they are returned with and in the condition
as returned.
Sample Size
Sample size is 5% of inventory but not less than 16 nor more than
80 units. Sample size is based on average daily output if rental
output drops below 50% of capacity over the sampling period.
See Sample Sizes chart.
Procedures & Recording
Samples are inspected according to procedures used for preseason binding inspections, however the twist test only needs to
be performed in one direction (clockwise or counterclockwise).
Pass/Fail records of all inspections should be recorded for the
individual Ski/Binding.
Demo Inspections
Incomplete Systems
44
Skis
Boots
Bindings intended for demo applications, where customers supply
their own boots, must be inspected using the procedures described
for rental equipment. Whenever a demo or rental binding is used
with a customer’s own boot, inspect the customer’s boot for
compatibility as described on page 27. Reject any boots that fail
visual inspection. Both boots of the pair must be inspected and the
boot sole lengths of both boots verified.
Whenever customers rent boots for use with their own skis, the
customer’s binding system must be mechanically inspected
(using the rental boot) according to procedures described for
retail equipment.
RENTAL SKIER INSTRUCTION & WARNING
It is the Dealer’s responsibility to adequately assist each rental customer in equipment
selection and to properly fit rental boots. Instructions regarding proper use of equipment
must also be given at the time rental equipment is provided.
When the Certified Technician signs or initials the Rental Form, the technician is attesting
that all functional and instructional procedures have been completed. To reduce your shop’s
liability risk and to receive indemnification from Salomon, you must take the following steps
when the skier receives their equipment. (The individual picking up the equipment must be
the intended user, or in the case of a minor, the user’s parent or guardian.)
1. Show how to step into the binding.
5. The skier must understand that there are inherent and
other risks in the sport of skiing.
2. Show how to step out of the binding.
6. The skier* must then sign and date the Rental Form.
3. Point out the visual indicator settings on the binding’s
toe and heel pieces. The skier must verify that these
settings agree with the settings recorded on the
Rental Form.
4. Ask the skier to read the Liability Release Agreement.
Point out that the skier is signing a release that limits
liability. Included in this Liability Release Agreement is
the specific warning that bindings will not release under
all circumstances where release may prevent injury
or death, nor is it possible to predict every situation in
which they will release, and are, therefore, no guarantee
of safety.
7. The skier must be given a copy of the rental form
that includes a signed copy of the Liability Release
Agreement.

Proper rental record keeping is key to your shop’s risk management program. Without a
properly filled out form, including a signed Liability Release Agreement, indemnification from
Salomon will not apply.
A Rental Form must be filled out for each rental transaction
(exchange of equipment is considered to be a transaction). A
Liability Release Agreement the same as or the equivalent
to the Salomon Liability Release Agreement must be
included on the Rental Form. The skier must read, understand, sign and date this release. A copy of the properly
filled out Rental Form must be kept on file for five years or
the statute of limitations of the state or province, whichever
is longer. Multiple skier forms that allow each skier to read
and sign the same form may be used if the form meets the
requirements outlined in this section. It is recommended
that the form be reviewed by Salomon’s Legal department
prior to use. The person who signs the rental form must be
the skier who is going to use the rental equipment. In the
case of a minor skier, the signature on the form must be
that of the skier’s parent or legal guardian.

EQUIPMENT RENTAL & LIABILITY RELEASE AGREEMENT
I accept for use AS IS the equipment listed on this form, and accept full financial responsibility for the care of the equipment
while it is in my possession. I will be responsible for the replacement at full value of any equipment rented under this form,
but not returned to the rental facility. I agree to return all rental equipment by the agreed date.
I understand that the binding system cannot guarantee the user’s safety. In downhill skiing, the binding system will not
release at all times or under all circumstances where release may prevent injury or death, nor is it possible to predict every
situation in which it will release. In snowboarding, cross-country skiing, skiboarding, showshoeing and other sports utilizing
equipment with non-release bindings, the binding system will not ordinarily release during use; these bindings are not
designed to release as a result of forces generated during ordinary operation.
I understand that the sports of skiing, snowboarding, skiboarding, snowshoeing and other sports (collectively "RECREATIONAL
SNOW SPORTS") involve inherent and other risks of INJURY and DEATH. I voluntarily agree to expressly assume all risks of
injury or death that may result from these RECREATIONAL SNOW SPORTS, or which relate in any way to the use of this
equipment.

I AGREE TO RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS the equipment rental facility, its employees, owners, affiliates, agents, officers,
directors, and the equipment manufacturers and distributors and their successors in interest (collectively "PROVIDERS"), from
all liability for injury, death, property loss and damage which results from the equipment user’s participation in the
RECREATIONAL SNOW SPORTS for which the equipment is provided, or which is related in any way to the use of this
equipment, including all liability which results from the NEGLIGENCE of PROVIDERS, or any other person or cause.
I further agree to defend and indemnify PROVIDERS for any loss or damage, including any that results from claims or
lawsuits for personal injury, death, and property loss and damage related in any way to the use of this equipment.
This agreement is governed by the applicable law of this state or province. If any provision of this agreement is determined
to be unenforceable, all other provisions shall be given full force and effect.

CANTS & BROKEN MOUNTING SCREWS
Non-Salomon Accessories
Any incorrect use of a Salomon part or accessory or
installation of a non-compatible brand accessory with a
Salomon system will automatically void both the warranty
and indemnification for that system.
Cants
Salomon bindings should not be altered in any way except as explicitly outlined in this manual. The use of cants with
Salomon bindings is acceptable, provided:
• The cants are of a high grade material designed for this use.
• Proper screw penetration into the ski meets current norms.
• The cants are installed in a professional manner.
• The cants do not impede the binding’s function as it
was designed, including proper function of the brake.

MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
RETAIL & RENTAL GUIDELINES
Retail
Guidelines
Salomon bindings require a
minimum of maintenance to
enhance performance and
their useful life. They should
be cleaned, inspected and
lubricated prior to each
season and every 30 skier
days per season as follows:
• Inspect all components
for damage or excessive
wear. Repair or replace
damaged or excessively worn parts and/or
components.
• Clean the exposed areas
of the components with a
cloth or rag. Wipe any dirt
or grit from the binding
housings, heel track and
the region under the heel
cup. Do not use solvents
or high pressure liquid
cleaning systems to
clean bindings.
• Apply Salomon Grease
(Ref. #000905) or
the equivalent to the
lubrication points
indicated for the appropriate model. Do not use
silicone or penetrating
oils unless the lubricant
is specifically approved.
• Remove the heel by sliding
the housing off the rear
of the heeltrack*.
• Apply Salomon Grease
(Ref. #000905) or the
equivalent to the lubrication points indicated
for each model. Do
not use silicone or
penetrating oils unless
the lubricant is specifically approved.
• Recommend to the skier
that routine maintenance and inspections be
performed by a Salomon
Authorized Dealer. This
will help ensure that
any problem that may
develop with the system
can be detected and
corrected by a trained
technician.
Rental
Guidelines
Proper maintenance of
rental systems includes a
complete inspection of the
entire rental inventory
prior to the ski season.
Bindings should be cleaned,
inspected and lubricated in
the following manner:
• Inspect all components
of each set for damage
or excessive wear. Repair
or replace damaged or
excessively worn parts
and/or components.
• Clean the exposed areas
of the components with a
cloth or rag. Wipe any dirt
or grit from the binding
housings, heel track and
the region under the heel
cup. Do not use solvents
or high pressure liquid
cleaning systems to
clean bindings.
• Replace the heel on the
track.
• This should be followed
by periodic in-season
Rental Post Season Storage

TECHNICAL REFERENCE
SALOMON RETAIL BINDING
Limited Warranty
Salomon Retail Alpine Bindings are covered under warranty against defects in materials
and manufacturing for a period of five years from their date of purchase to the original
customer. In the absence of proof-of-purchase, this warranty period will be five years from
date of manufacture of the product as indicated by production code. This warranty only
covers the defective component, not the full pair or set, i.e., left toe piece, brake, right heel,
etc. Abuse and normal wear are not covered by this warranty.
Replacement Procedures
Mechanical Inspection Failures
Step One. Verify by customer receipt or production code
that the defective component is under warranty. (Warranty
claims should be handled through Authorized Dealers to
ensure speed and accuracy of product replacement. Please
do not refer a customer directly to Salomon.)
Normal wear is expected with the use of a product. Should a
component fail a mechanical inspection (measured release
values that fall outside the “In-Use Range”) within its
warranty period, include the following information with the
returned component.
Step Two: Call customer service for return authorization
number. (There is no longer an express warranty form.)
• Description of inspection that the component failed.
• Brand of test device and date of most recent calibration.
• Skier Code and visual indicator setting.
• Boot brand, model and sole length.
• All measured release values and name of the technician.
Step Three: Replace the entire set, unless instructed
otherwise by customer service.
Step Four: Return the defective set to Salomon with the
return authorization number clearly printed on the outside
of the package. Return the entire set, unless otherwise
instructed by customer service.
Ship the package freight pre-paid to:
USA
Salomon Service Center
5914 N. Basin Ave.
Portland, OR 97217
Canada
3545 Thimens Blvd.
Saint-Laurent, Quebec H4R 1V5
Upon a dealer’s request to Customer Service, a warranty
replacement component can be shipped in advance to
the dealer before it is inspected at Salomon’s Service
Center. Salomon will invoice the dealer for the replacement
component and issue a credit when the defective component is received and verified. If the defective component
exchanged for the advance replacement is not received
within 45 days from the issue of the Return Authorization
Number, or proves not to be defective, no credit will be
issued for the replacement product.
Step Five: Salomon will ship the replacement product to
the dealer, surface freight pre-paid, after verification of
the defect.
Every Salomon binding component is precision tested to
assure its accuracy during manufacture. It is extremely rare
that a component would be out of calibration unless there
is visible damage. All bindings returned due to mechanical
testing failures are inspected. No replacement product will
be issued unless all required information is included with the
product.
Product Age Verification
Verification that the product is within the warranty period
can be made in the following two ways:
1. Customer receipt indicating product was purchased within
the last five years.
2. Component production code* indicating manufacture of
product within last five years.
Salomon Service Center
In the event an unusual situation is encountered or a
technical question arises please call the Salomon Service
Center at:
> Reference
*All Salomon binding components are
stamped with a two- or three-digit code
upon their final production to indicate
month and year of production. Normally,
codes are a letter followed by a number,
with the letter indicating month of
production. Each number corresponds
to the actual year of production, i.e.,
1 would indicate 2001, 2 would indicate
2002, etc. To simplify the warranty
process, product age is determined by the
year of production only. Retail bindings
with a production code indicating that the
bindings were manufactured in 2000
(e.g., A0, M0) will be warranted until
the end of the 2004/2005 ski season.
Production codes are stamped in various
places on all binding components.
