Marker produces a variety of freestyle, Alpine and cross-country ski bindings that are intended for use by experienced skiers. Freestyle bindings have advanced settings for aggressive skiing, while Alpine and cross-country bindings have intermediate and expert level settings. Adjustments are made in accordance with DIN numbers based on a skier's weight and level of expertise. Adjustment of the toe-piece tension is the primary consideration since this determines the force necessary to release a ski boot from the binding during a spill. Adjusting Marker MX 10 ski bindings is done using a flat screwdriver.
Step 1
Refer to a DIN chart and calculate your correct DIN number. If your entries do not correlate to a specific listing on the chart, select the smaller number to begin with. Place the skis on a table or other flat surface.
Step 2
Find the DIN adjustment dial located near the toe piece of the binding. The dial will have a series of numbers that correspond to a cross-hair or arrow. Locate the DIN adjustment screw that's adjacent to the dial. Observe the dial and turn the adjustment screw clockwise or counterclockwise with a flat screwdriver until the correct DIN number aligns with the cross-hair or arrow.
Step 3
Put your ski boots on and place one of the skis on the floor. Step into the binding and rotate your foot to the right or left to check the tension on the toe piece. The toe-piece tension can be fine-tuned using the screwdriver to turn the adjustment screw 1/4 turn clockwise or counterclockwise. Repeat this with the other ski and binding.
