Like all contemporary ski bindings, those used with Atomic 310 skis have DIN adjustments for the lateral force necessary to release the toe of a ski boot during a spill. DIN charts provide a number that accounts for the skier's weight and level of expertise. Novice skiers benefit from lighter tension at the toepiece to release the boots during a spill. Advanced skiers prefer more tension to keep their boots in the skis while they're carving or doing freestyle moves. The bindings also have adjustments to accommodate the size of particular ski boots.
Step 1
Establish your DIN number using a DIN chart. Refer to your body weight and level of expertise on the chart and note the appropriate DIN number.
Step 2
Locate the DIN number windows near the toepiece on each ski. Loosen the lock screws at the top of each toepiece by turning the screws counterclockwise with a Phillips screwdriver.
Step 3
Turn the DIN adjustment screws either way with the screwdriver until your DIN number appears in the window on each ski. Tighten the lock screws clockwise on each toepiece.
Step 4
Loosen the lock screw at the front of the heel binding on the left ski, then put the ski on the floor. Put your ski boots on.
Step 5
Insert the toe of your left ski boot into the toepiece and slide the heel binding forward or back by hand as needed until it contacts the heel of your boot. Lift your boot out of the bindings.
Step 6
Tighten the lock screw to hold the binding at this setting. Put the toe of your left boot into the toepiece and step down with the heel of your boot. The heel clip should snap up and lock against the back of your boot. If the heel clip does not lock as it should, the setting is too tight.
Step 7
Readjust the position of the heel binding as needed so the heel clip locks. Make sure your boot is secure in the bindings at this setting. Repeat the heel binding adjustment with your right ski and boot.
