COMPATIBILITY PILOT® / PROFIL®

Using SNS® Pilot® boots together with SNS® Profil® bindings is not recommended, as the level of performance and comfort is not optimal. Nevertheless, it is possible to ski in this configuration, as the problems of comfort can easily be solved by modifying the flexor as follows:

To improve compatibility with old Profil Auto bindings Salomon recommends to use: - Specific Flexor available under reference 258239- Specific ridge plate available under reference 788471

SNS BOOTS/BINDINGS COMPATIBILITY

& PERFORMANCE

SNS PILOT boots have been developed to improve performance with SNS PILOT & SNS PROPULSE bindings, they have also been developed to be compatible with SNS PROFIL bindings.

In order to get maximum comfort and perfect compatibility when using SNS PROFIL bindings with SNS Pilot boots, it is recommended to change or modify the SNS PROFIL flexor as shown in the picture:

A specific ready to use compatible flexor for SNS Profil Auto bindings is available in after market (flex 105) (ref: 258239)

Note : a specific ridge plate is available (reference 788471). Only required for bindings older than 06/07 season (2 piece guide ridge).

FIT PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

IF THE BOOT IS TOO NARROW

- Try the next larger size. If this bigger size is too long, use the first size tried and replace the insole in the boot (4.5 mm) with a thinner one (3 mm).

- If the boot is too tight at a given point of the foot (at the toes for example), it is possible to solve the problem by grinding and thinning the insole in the problem area in order to increase volume inside the boot.

CHAFED OR BLISTERED HEEL

- Verify that the boot is the correct size.

- Make sure the customer is wearing an appropriate sock and the sock is not wrinkled inside the boot.

- For Racing boots, adjust the soft wrap heel strap for the proper heel fit.

- Recommend the use of a better sock.

- Add or subtract volume in the boot to keep the foot from moving around.

BLUE TOE NAILS

- Make sure that the boot is not too short.- Replace the binding Flexor with a softer one.

BOOT MAINTENANCE

Proper care will increase the life of your boots. Please suggest this to your customer.

1. Remove the insole when drying out boots. Do not lay equipment on top of radiators or other heat sources and do not put in a micro-wave oven.

2. Brush the boots with a soft brush or wipe them down with a soft cloth.

3. Clean boots using soapy water (no detergents or chemical products).

4. If necessary, apply weatherproofing treatments concentrating on flex zones and seams:- for leather models, use a product with a

fluoride resin or silicone base;- for fabric/leather models, a waterproofing

spray with a fluoride resin or silicone base.

For rentals, check the boots regularly: check the length and condition of the laces, insole, wear of heel pads and waterproofness of nylon parts.

bootsCUSTOM FIT PROCEDURE

THERMOFORMING MACHINE

Before using the machine for the first time, return the guarantee card to your Customer Service Representative.Follow the instructions for the thermoforming machine closely and pay particular attention to the rules on safety.To guarantee good thermoforming, we have adapted a thermal sensor to our machines. If something is abnormal during the heating process, the machine will work alternately. If this is the case, contact the customer service in your country. Do not take the machine apart.

This machine is for exclusive use with Salomon Custom Fit boots. Any other use is forbidden.

PREPARING FOR USE

1. Remove the machine from its box and place it on a flat surface. Verify that the voltage used is the same as indicated on the machine) (fig. 1).

2. Lift the hood.3. Lift the nozzles using the handles provided.4. Close the boots and slide them onto the nozzles.

Make sure that the top edge of the boot touches the obturator.

Attention: Any insoles used other than the ones received in the boots at the time of purchase should be removed before the heating procedure begins. Re-install them after heating to mould the liners.

5. After having read and understood the machine’s instructions, especially those on safety, you can now plug the machine in.

STARTING THE MACHINE

Set the timer for 15 minutes.Warning: for optimal results, it is important that:- the heating process lasts 15 minutes. Using the

machine for more than 15 minutes can damage the boot.

- operate the machine with both boots in place (fig. 2).

PUTTING THE BOOT ON

1. When thermoforming, you should only use high socks that have the following characteristics: - Socks that go higher than the top of the boot. - Socks with at least 45% wool.

Wearing normal, low-cut socks could cause skin reactions to the heating process.2. Remove the boots from the machine.3. Close the hood.4. The machine is now available for thermoforming

another pair of boots.5. Open the boots.6. The boots must be put on immediately following

the end of the 15 minutes heating cycle.7. Close the boots with medium pressure, not too

tight.8. Wait 10 minutes in a standing position (If you

feel any discomfort whatsoever when stepping-in, take your boots off immediately).

9. Remove the boots.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

› Salomon recommends that no Custom Fit boot should be thermoformed more than three times.

› To optimize the results of the thermoforming process, it is recommended that you make several flex movements during the 10 minutes cooling process to simulate the anklebone movements when skiing (fig. 3).

› It is recommended to wait 1/2 hour before skiing with the boots, to allow complete stabilization of the thermoformed boot.

› Standard ISO 9119 :

SNS® bindings have to be mounted with skis in compliance with ISO 9119 standard to ensure the right level of performance, reliability and safety.

The standardized dimensions for the bindings’ mounting area allow:

- ski manufacturers to place ski inserts within the defined area,

- binding manufacturers to determine the dimensions of the junction zone for the bindings parts, positioning of the screws…

Skis and bindings built according to the standard ISO 9119 are compatible.

1) Advice positioning of the JIG:

Line up the mid-point indicator on the JIG with the ski manufacturer’s mid-point indicator. If there is no mid-point indicator, balance the ski to locate the mid-point.

Salomon recommends to mount SNS bindings 1 centimeter behind balance point (excepted Junior) on skis unless instructed otherwise by the ski manufacturer.

3) GENERAL MOUNTINGS RECOMMENDATIONS

› For SALOMON skis, the recommendations for bindings mounting position are the followings:

When positioning the JIG prior to drill skis:- Ensure stable JIG position on ski.- The JIG must be in contact with ski top surface.- The JIG must not move when drilling.- The JIG block must not be in contact with bench when drilling.

2) Selecting and fitting the drill bit (fig. A2)

Select the recommended special cross-country drill bit. Caution: the drilling diameter of the ridge must be 3.6 mm.

3) Drilling and cleaning (fig. A3)

Using the bushings on the jig for position, drill the holes that correspond to the binding being mounted. Turn the ski over and tap gently with the palm of your hand to remove the shavings from the holes. Clean the surface of the ski.

4) Mounting the bindings (fig. A4)

Place a small drop of Salomon glue into each hole and put the binding in place. Screw down the binding using the Salomon n° 3 posidrive screwdriver.

> Screwing force advice

SNS Bindings on flat skis:

When mounting SNS bindings, screws should be tightened with a torque of 3.6 NM

SNS bindings on NIS plate:

- When mounting SNS bindings on NIS plates, screws should be tightened with a torque of 3.6 NM .

- When done manually, the screws should not be tightened to the maximum to avoid crashing on NIS plates and unsure perfect functioning of the SNS bindings.

REMOUNTING BINDINGS

REPLACING SNS® PROFIL® BINDINGS:

Replacing SNS Profil that are already mounted on a ski with SNS® Pilot® bindings, there is a ‘centerer’ that can be placed under the jig to ensure perfect alignment for drilling the additional hole.

PROCEDURE FOR REMOUNTING BINDING

1. Remount the binding directly into the existing holes.

2. Use special cross-country plugs.

To obtain the proper drilling depth:

- make sure the shoulder of the bit is flush with the drill chuck,

- drill until the chuck bears down on the bushings of the jig.

3. Mount the binding in the new holes.

Follow-the-same-mounting procedure as for new skis.Note: If this fails, use solution 2.

1. Position-the-jig-above-the existing holes.

2. Drill the three binding holes with the special Salomon bit.

3. Do not drill the hole corres-ponding to the guide ridge if it is mounted with a plastic plug.

4. Glue (epoxy only) and insert the repair plugs.

5. Wait for the glue to hold.

6. Follow the same mounting procedure as for new skis (see Mounting chapter).

1. Clean the ski and fill in the old holes with Salomon plugs.

2. Position the jig 15-mm behind the old holes.

3. Follow the same mounting procedure as for new skis.

gbindingsSNS BINDINGS & “NIS PLATES”

MOUNTING SNS BINDINGS ON NIS PLATES WITH INTERFACE ADAPTATORS

In order to grant maximum performance and reliability, we need to ensure a flat contact surface with the bindings, it is recommended to mount the bindings with:

SNS INTERFACE ADAPTATOR in composite for high level skis (reference 288240)

Screwing recommendations:

- When mounting SNS bindings on NIS plates, screw should be tightened with a torque of 3.6 NM .

- When done manually, the screws should not be tightened to the maximum to avoid crashing on NIS plates and unsure perfect functioning of the SNS bindings.

SNS INTERFACE ADAPTATOR II in ABS for leisure skis (reference 103399)

BINDINGS MAINTENANCE

ROLLER SKIING

General recommendations: No special maintenance is required for bindings however you can recommend to your customer:- To avoid wax build-up on the guide ridge or under the boot sole to avoid snow build-up (snowbuild-up in the ridge area of the sole could block entry into the binding),- To leave the bindings open after taking the skis off,- In summer, do not leave skis with boots in the bindings, store in a cool, dry place away fromsunlight, avoid attics, balconies, sheds and places close to heat sources,- Do not place equipment on top of radiators or other heat sources and do not place in a microwave oven,

SNS Pilot Equipe Classic:

For optimum performance and to reduce snow sticking on the Pilot soft link, we recommend to apply some silicon spray on the Pilot soft link. For better efficiency, one’s should pull out the soft link using a screwdriver and apply the silicon spray no only on the white hook but also on the black strap.

A special roller skiing JIG is available : ref 105588

SKI SELECTING: WEIGHT CHART

After the skier has found the right ski for his/her goals, it is important to select the ski that best fits their skiing skill, body weight and height. Because the stiffness of the ski corresponds with the length, select the right size within the weight zone of the chart.

There is some overlapping, and here the skill of the skier is important: for beginners, the technique is not perfect, so he/she needs a shorter, less stiff ski that is easier to kick, in which case you select the shorter size. Also, if the skier has lower height but more weight, they need more maneuverable skis, so select the shorter length within their weight zone.

The weight zones are also printed on the ski in white at the binding area. For Equipe 10 skis, the differentiation is only in hard and soft, but there is detailed information about the ski on the DANN sticker in the binding area.

Another good tool is the Salomon Ski Selector.

PREPARATIONAND MAINTENANCE

For preparation and maintenance of the nordic ski base, please refer to the Salomon alpine ski technical manual. You have to be aware that nordic skis might have fish scales which have not be grinded.Please take into account the following points:

MACHINE TUNINGRefer to the machine supplier recommendations.

CLEANING OF THE BASE AND REMOVING OF WAX

Use specific wax removing solvent recommended by nordic wax suppliers.

WAXING- Wax according to wax suppliers recommendations.- The fishscales have to be cleaned steadily and the

glide zones have to be waxed with the glide wax.

WAXABLE SKIS – CLASSIC STYLEFirst, the kick zone has to be determined according to the skier’s weight. Be careful, never wax the grip zone with a glide wax !To improve the bond between grip wax and the base, you can carefully sand down the grip zone area with sandpaper (150-200 grit) before the first waxing.

Be careful: never sand down combi skis ! Only waxable skis are concerned.

RECAP CHART & WEIGHT CHART SKIS

SKATING SKISWax with a glide wax the whole base, from tip to tail.

COMBI SKISDetermination of grip zone is the same as for waxable skis – classic style, but the grip zone has not to be sanded.

STORINGThe skis can be stored ready-waxed (unscraped) for an extended period of time (e.g. between ski seasons).

TRANSPORTATIONIt is recommended to transport skis with ski clips to protect the base at the contact points.

Please refer to our 12/13 dealer catalog.


After measuring the Balance Point (BP), the following area is recommended to mount the binding on the ski. You will find further information in the Binding section of this manual.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONFinding the right point for the technique of the skier & snow condition. For both Skating/classic: further back = better glide

BUT:Skate: further back = unstable Classic: further back = less kick

THE RECOMMENDATION OF OUR WORD CUP SERVICE TEAM:

WEDGE: there is no difference for mounting as the force on the ski will not be changed by the wedge

SKI PREPARATION

WAXING PRINCIPLES: GRIP SECTION

4EASYSTEPSTOWAXTHEGRIPZONE:The goal of grip wax is to obtain the best grip and glide ratio

SANDTHEGRIPZONE

To improve the bond between grip wax and the base, carefully sand down the grip zone area with a sandpaper. Sand the base lengthwise until an even sanding pattern is created. This will make the difference for a long-lasting wax application.

WAXCHOICE

The snow conditions will have a significant impact on the choice of the wax, depending on:• the snow temperature, • the transformation state of the snow

Fresh snowFor new falling snow and fine grained snow

Old transformed snowFor wet snow and ice snow

-20ºC to -6ºC -7ºC to -2ºC -2ºC to 0ºC -1ºC to +2ºC -20ºC to -3ºC -2ºC to -4ºC -2ºC to 3ºC

Fresh Snow

Old Transformed Snow

For coarse granular cold snow and hard

tracks.

For coarse, granular snow changing from

crust to wet.

For very wet granular snow, spring snow

conditions.

REMOVETHEWAX

• Scrape as much as possible off with a plastic scraper.

• Apply a base cleaner or wax-removing solvent• Wipe off with a cleaning towel.

WAXTHEGRIPZONE

Hard Wax• Select a hard wax on

fresh snow corresponding to the temperature of the snow.

• Apply three to four thin layers and cork in each layer.

Klister Wax• Select the klister and

apply it (one layer normally is enough). The product is applied in a “fish-bone”-like pattern, or as a thin string on each side of the groove.

WAXLESSCLASSIC

Waxless skis do not need regular maintenance, but can be waxed on the glide zones in front and behind the fish scale zone.

SKI PREPARATION

WAXING PRINCIPLES: GLIDE SECTION

There are many different types of snow: wet, moist, dry, new, old, powder, crusty, slush, windblown, etc. Each type of snow reacts differently with the ski base that glides across it. Skis are made with a base material that can be fine tuned to match the various snow conditions by simply changing the wax. The bases can be more or less porous. Different types of waxes can be melted into the bases so that the skis will have optimum glide in each snow condition.

SKATING

Skating skis have to be waxed on the entire length of the ski to improve the gliding capabilities of the ski.

WAXABLECLASSIC

The kick zone should never be waxed with glide wax. This would reduce grip wax bond with the base.

Glide wax has 2 goals: improve the gliding capabilities of the ski and preserve the base and maintain its quality over the time


CHOOSETHERIGHTWAX

MELTTHEGLIDEWAX

The glide wax can be heated into the base with an iron.

SPREADTHEWAX

Once the glide wax is melted, spread it all along the length of the ski by ironing it.

SCRAPETHEWAXOFF

Once the wax has became stronger, scrape it off from tip to tail with a scraper.

BRUSHTHESKI

To obtain a better finish, brush the ski with a bronze brush and finish with a nylon or fine steel brush

5 EASY STEPS TO WAX THE GLIDE ZONE:

The snow condition (either fresh or old) does not affect significantly the kind of glide wax to use. However, in moist and wet snow conditions, the use of fluorine gives increased glide.

THERMO BOX

For better wax absorption of race skis, the use of a wax box (Thermo box) is recommended, especially after grinding or the use of wax remover.

INSTRUCTIONS:• Use soft wax for better absorption. Hard wax needs higher

temperature to melt =risk of delamination• Do not heat over 60°. Risk of delamination over 60°. • Minimum is 3 hours. It is better is to leave the skis 4-6

hours

ZERO SKI TREATMENT

Zéro skis are optimal when it is snowing wet and heavy snow or when there are large fluctuations in temperature. In these conditions the zero skis provide kick where normal kick wax ices up, resulting in slippery skis.

Zéro skis are produced with a rubber inlay in the wax pocket zone. The inlay must be prepared before skiing. Rubbing the base of the ski makes the hairs, which lie in the base material, stand up. These standing hairs provide the grip needed for wet/zero snow conditions. Coarser rubs will be required for more humid snow, i.e. wet, heavy snow. Finer rubs for aggressive snow, i.e. snow with lower humidity.

The rubbed area stays ice free by corking in silicone or fluoro powders/ Glide zones must be waxed like a normal classic ski.

WHAT YOU NEED:Sand paper 60, 80, 100, 120 grain Cork Liquid silicone, or fluoro powder

INSTRUCTIONS:1. Start by wrapping a piece of coarse sand paper (60 or 80 grain) around a cork.

2. Rub the hardest part of the camber (under the binding) continue rubbing 15-20 cm forwards and backwards from this point. Important: Make sure to remain in the centre of the ski with the coarsest sand paper, not rubbing too far towards the tip or the end. Rubbing too long from the centre will damage the glide zone and result in slower skis.Rub the kick zone area of the ski several times to force the hairs to stand up. Repeat rubbing from both sides to create a cross pattern.

3. Switch to a finer sand paper (80-100 grain). Wrap the sand paper around the scraper or cork and work as described above. Start rubbing at the end of the coarse rubbing zone and work towards the ends of the special base material. Rub backwards and forwards.

4. Work the final 5-10cm on each end of the kick zone (special base material) with fine sand paper, 100-120 grain.

5. Rub silicone or fluoro powder by hand in the rubbing zone making sure to cover the entire kick zone.

If, when you try your skies they are too sticky, the kick can be mellowed by using a finer sand paper (4 or 5 passes). If you need more kick, use a slightly coarser sand paper in the centre of the kick zone.

This method allows you to adjust your kick as you would with traditional kick wax.
