Definitions

• the connecting element which extends between the toe piece and the heel holder without a guide, can be fixed by means of a receptacle on a locking element which is provided on the ski-fixed guide rail for the toe piece.
• the connecting element which is designed as a metal band, can thus be adjusted relative to the ski-fixed guide rail which receives the front jaws.
• the metal strip is locked to the guide rail by a rotatably mounted bolt which engages in one of the holes in a row of holes in the metal strip. If the metal band is to be adjusted relative to the guide rail, the bolt is tightened using a
• Screwdriver rotated so that the end area of the metal band can be lifted off the bolt.
• the metal band is adjusted to the desired distance from the heel holder to the toe, then the selected hole is placed on the bolt and the bolt is rotated again.
