EVOLUTION: YEAR ELEVENUNIONBINDINGCOMPANY.COM STRONGER.

WELCOME

Congratulations on your new set of Union Bindings! Union Bindings are the highest-performing, best-fitting bindings money can buy.

Bindings are the most important piece of snowboarding equipment you own. That being said, it’s crucialthat they are set up properly to ensure optimal fit and performance. This guide will give you all the infoyou need to dial in the proper boot-in-binding fit.

If this is your first time setting up a snowboard, we highly suggest going into an Authorized Union Dealer

for assistance. Your stance is something that you can set up in 5 minutes but it may take you 5 years toperfect.

Remember, there is no right or wrong, so experiment with it and find what works for you.

Warning: Snowboarding is a hazardous sport which can result in serious injury or, in certain circum-stances, death. Snowboard bindings by design do not release upon impact. Make sure all of yourhardware is tight before each use, you ride within your ability level, and you abide by the mountainresponsibility code. By using this equipment, all risk is assumed by you.

STEP 1 – STANCE WIDTHStance Width: Either get tech with a tape measure, or just eyeball it to find out what looks and feels best.You may need to experiment to find the stance that works best for your style of riding. If you have noidea how wide/narrow of a stance to ride, try going slightly wider than shoulder width and modify fromthere.

STEP 2 - STANCE ANGLES

Tip: When setting up your board make sure the ratchets are facing the tip andtail. Don’t put your bindings on backwards!

Just like your stance width, the angles of your bindings are all about personal preference and comfort. Ifyou aren’t sure, try the angles below and modify from there.

STEP 3 - MOUNTING YOUR BINDINGSUniversal Disk (4X4 + Channel Compatibility): Align your disk with the boards inserts that you plan on using. Ifyou’re using the Channel you will only need to use two washers and two screws to mount each binding.If you are using a traditional 4X4 mounting system be sure to use all four washers and screws. Begin bythreading one screw with a washer. Make sure that the disk doesn’t move or you will have a hard timethreading the remaining inserts. Next, thread the remaining screws and washers into place. Hardware

should be hand tightened using a #3 Phillips Screwdriver.

STEP 3- MOUNTING YOUR BINDINGSMini Disk (4X2 Pattern + Channel Compatibility): In order to mount the Ultra, Contact Pro or Legacy we

have found that it’s best to use the following technique . First , align your disk with the board’s inserts

that you plan on using.If you’re using the Channel you will only need to use two washers and two screws

to mount each binding.If you are using a traditional 4X4 mounting system be sure to use all four washers

and screws. Begin by threading one screw with NO washer . This will pull the binding closer to the topsheet and allow you to easily thread the remaining screws and washers. Once you have threaded the

remaining screws take out the first screw and rethread the first screw WITH a washer. Hardware should

be hand tightened using a #3 Phillips Screwdriver.

STEP 4 - BOOT TO BINDING FITCentering your boots: Avoid any toe or heel drag by making sure your boots are centered on your board,by adjusting the heelcup. Both the toe and heel of the boot should be an equal distance from both edgesof the board.

STEP 4 - BOOT TO BINDING FITHeel Cup Adjustment: Simply loosen the main heelcup and ankle strap screws on the base (one on eachside). Slide the heelcup either forward or back for desired fit. Be sure to retighten your hardware!

Tip – You don’t need to take the screws all the way out. Just loosen enough to move.
