USE ONLY ON WATER
USE OF THIS PRODUCT AND PARTICIPATION IN THE SPORT OF WATER SKIING INVOLVES INHERENT RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH. READ THIS USER'S HANDBOOK BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.
Minimize risk, maximize fun: Ski safely, ski in control and do not ski at speeds which exceed the skier's personal ability or skill.
BEGINNERS SHOULD USE EXTRA CAUTION
Use the correct size ski and binding.
Use only bindings which meet the highest safety standards and always follow the manufacturer's instructions and cautions.
If you use rubber bindings, wet your feet and bindings before fitting and adjust the binding before initial use for a snug but not tight fit.
If you use hard shell bindings, make sure that the binding and plate are secured to the ski and has no movement and the release is secured to the binding. Make sure that you can release your foot from the ski with your own strength on the dock before skiing.
Keep in mind that even properly adjusted bindings may come loose or release in the event of a fall and this could result in injury.
DO NOT ATTEMPT LAND OR DOCK STARTS AS THIS SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES THE POTENTIAL FOR INJURY OR DEATH.
DO NOT USE IN SHALLOW WATER OR NEAR THE SHORE, DOCKS, PILINGS, SWIMMERS OR NEAR OTHER WATERCRAFT.
Always wear U.S. Coast Guard Type III (PFD) vest. Refer to the U.S. Coast Guard website at http://www.uscg.mil/ for further information on life vests and marine safety; or CE buoyancy aid and read the Vest Operator's Manual before use.

BINDING ANATOMY
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONSThe Reflex system, like with any other precision mechanism, requires that the mounting and adjusting instructions be followed exactly. Along with following these instructions, proper maintenance must be used in order to avoid serious injury or death.You must have the factory measurement from your ski manufacturer of where to place your front binding on your ski.
Place plate on ski and line up the hole pattern from the plate to the inserts of your ski.
The plate has holes for virtually all ski brands but small adjustments are sometimes necessary. In this case use a “rat tail”metal file on the plate holes until they line up perfectly.

Never wedge anything between the bottom of the hardshell and the base plate.
Do not wrap tape or pad the front toe bar.
Before skiing or on the dock, make sure your binding release is in and locked.
When the binding has been used for a longer period of time, the small grey blocks have a forward hole location that allows to reset the distance between the release and the front toe bar. This helps to adjust the system if any movement is noticed between the release and the binding.
HARDSHELL BINDING SETUP
An older shell may produce gaps under the bar. Do not put tape or wedges to compensate.
Move forward the release of one holeon the block to solve these issues.

HARDSHELL & LINER SIZINGThe length of your foot is the most important information that you need to choose your hardshells. The usual sizing that you use for your regular or sport shoes is not accurate enough.
Your shoe size is not the most reliable method to determine your hardshell size. We recommend that you measure the exact length of your foot. The best way to do this is to stand and place the heel of your foot against a wall, then measure from the heel to the end of the front toe.

HOW TO MOLD YOUR LINERS
1. Pre-heat oven to 212°F / 100°C (CAUTION - Do not heat above 100° C or 212°F)2. Place liner in pre-heated oven for 5 minutes3. Place two athletic socks over your foot. The socks provide additional space and protection from the heat during the molding cycle. 4. Once the liner has been heated, using gloves, remove the liner from the oven.5. Slip your foot into the heated liner and pull completely over your foot. 6. Quickly place your foot into the shell. 7. Buckle your boot so that it is just snug. Do not over-tighten the buckles.8. Remove foot and repeat steps if needed. Liners can be re-formed at any time.

Use of this product and participation in the sport INVOLVES INHERENT RISKS OF INJURY OR DEATH. Even when properly �tted and performing as designed, some bindings will not allow release, with others your feet may or may not release. All falls can result in injury.
To reduce risks: • Binding should be properly �tted for a snug, not tight �t. • Only use bindings �tted to you. • ALWAYS READ USER’S MANUAL before use.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
I just started to ski in the slalom course, is the Re�ex binding good for me?The Re�ex system is especially well-suited for all skiers.* Easy to put on and take o�.* Greater comfort, thus more passes for the skier.* Security in release from falls.
How do I choose my size? Your shoe size is not the most reliable method to determine your hardshell size. We recommend that you measure the exact length of your foot. The best way to do this is to stand and place the heel of your foot against a wall, then measure from the heel to the end of the front toe.
Is the Re�ex binding compatible with all the skis on the market? All our plates are adapted to �t various insert settings. Also, because of our long slots on our plates, it is easy to adjust the plate forward or backward on the ski.
How do I set the release mechanism? The release mechanism operates from a spring. You set the tension of this spring from a screw on the release. The setting of this spring is determined not only by the weight of the skier but also by the skier’s level of skiing. Thus, a beginner skier will have a lower number on their setting than a seasoned competitor.
How do I maintain my Re�ex system? The release mechanism should be rinsed on a regular basis to remove any debris. You should check to be sure that all screws are tight on the release system before each set. There should be no movement between the release system and the hardshell, nor between the hardshell and the front toe horseshoe. It needs to have a snug �t to be e�ective. There is possibility that with time the system could loosen so then you may need to move the release forward one hole. Due to the fact that certain components of the system will last longer than others, it is possible to purchase some of them separately.
Salt or brackish water is especially hard on equipment, you should rinse with clear water after using in water with a lot of contaniments.
Can I make any modi�cations? Re�ex is constantly testing and improving its products. We do not recommend that you make any kind of modi�cations to our system. This could have hazard-ous results. We strongly discourage to use another hardshell with our system, other than the Re�ex hardshell.
