- Page 5 DETERMINE THE BOOT SOLE LENGTH The “Boot Sole Length”, also commonly abbreviated as BSL, is the exact length of the boot at the boot lugs in millimeters. This can be found via a number of ways. The BSL is typically molded into the boot near the heel lug. If the number is illegible, check the other boot.
- Page 6 REMOVE THE HEEL PLATE M4 Locknut Foam Divider The blue heel plate comes pre-installed with the nuts finger- tight. Remove the two sets of nuts, washers, and bolts. Ungreased The bolt that passes through the long orange link is greased. Remove it carefully and set it on the foam divider or another clean surface.
- Page 7 DETERMINE THE HEEL PLATE POSITION With the heel plate removed, find the stamped number on the bottom of the Daymakers that is the closest to your BSL. If you are between sizes round down to the lower value. If the number is on the left rail, align the heel plate so that points to that number.
- Page 8 ASSEMBLE THE HEEL PLATE YOU WILL NEED A PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER FOR THIS STEP * If you will be using assembly POSITION A, you will install the heel lug on the side. If you will be using assembly POSITION B, you will install the heel lug on the side.
- Page 9 POSITION THE WIRE BAILS INSTALL BAIL IN SLOT NEAREST TO YOUR BSL The toe bail is installed in the rear-most of two mounting ROUND DOWN IF BETWEEN SIZES slots. This position is ideal for most applications. The front slot can be used to move the boot forward and improve clearance at the heel in certain applications and should only be used if heel clearance is inadequate.
- Page 10 TEST FIT AND FINAL ASSEMBLY Test fit the Daymakers with the ski and boot on the work bench.Cycle the boot through its full range of motion, and ensure contact is not occurring at the toe piece or the heel piece.
- Page 11 STEP IN TO THE DAYMAKERS The Daymakers should be attached to the boot first, and then stepped into the skis. There are two ways to do this. The first method is to set the Daymaker in the ski‘s binding with the heel bail and clamp flipped back. Lift and hold the toe bail and slide your boot lug in.
- Page 12 Use the neutral position for flat terrain and downhills. Use the medium and high positions for uphills. The Daymakers should be put on so that the elevators are on the inside, facing each other. To raise the elevators, take a staggered stance and hinge your front foot.
- Page 13 STEP OUT OF THE DAYMAKERS To take the Daymakers off, reach down and flip the heel clamp of the Daymaker down to eject your boot. You can also use your ski pole basket to do this. Repeat on the other side.
- Page 14 Do not step down on the Daymaker’s top deck to install them; this could result in damage. Do not reach into the hinge to raise the elevators. If you feel snow building up in the Daymaker, stop and clear it from the hinge with your ski pole to avoid damage.
- Page 15 BOOT CONTACTS TOE PIECE OF BINDING Ensure toe bail is installed in rear slots. BOOT CONTACTS HEEL PIECE OF BINDING Ensure boot is snug in bails; a loose fit will not pull the boot forward enough. Try moving the heel bail one slot forward. Move toe bail to forward mounting position and retry.
