RADICAL BUCKLE OPERATION
Make a "peace" sign with your first and middle finger
With the tips of your fingers, press the two black levers inward simultaneously, toward
the boot
While holding the levers down, pull the ladder free of the spider buckle with your free
hand
When buckling up, push the ladder in as far as possible to insure proper centering.
"Ratchet" the ladder strap tight with the silver lever
Pressing one black lever at a time allows for micro loosening adjustments
WHAT IS HEAT MOLDING AND HOW DO I DO IT?
There are two different types of heat molding processes for different K2 Skate models.
HEAT MOLDING AND FIT INSTRUCTIONS: RADICAL 100, RADICAL 90,
AND PRO LONGMOUNT
Congratulations on your decision to purchase K2 Radical skates. The R&D team at K2 believes
we have created the finest blend of comfort and performance ever achieved in a high end training
skate.
Radicals are designed to fit well for the vast majority of people right out of the box. However, to
get the most out of these skates we recommend that you heat mold them for a custom fit and
even greater skating responsiveness.
If you have any questions about this procedure, please "(contact us)" or your local K2 skate shop
professional.
PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.
1. Supplies:
1. Conventional oven or convection oven or ski boot liner heating stacks. (Do not
use a microwave oven; it will damage the boots.)
2. Thin socks
3. An assistant to help make things easier.
2. Boot Preparation:
1. If attached, remove the frame and mounting screws from the bottom of the boot.
2. Unzip the lace cover and loosen the laces enough to put your foot inside the boot.
3. Heating the Boots:
1. Turn the oven on and set it to 200F (95C). If you are using ski boot liner heating
stacks consult the owner's manual and set if for this temperature.
2. When the oven reaches 200F (95C), turn the oven off. If you are using ski boot
liner heating stacks keep them running for the duration of the 10 minute heating
time.

- Page 1 If you have any questions about this procedure, please “(contact us)” or your local K2 skate shop professional.
- Page 2 Note: It is possible to perform localized molding of certain areas with a heat gun but this procedure is difficult and risky. Using a heat gun is not recommended by K2 due to the risk of damaging synthetic boot materials from too high a setting on the heat gun or by prolonged heating in one area of the boot.
- Page 3 Okay, now for the wheels and bearings. Let's keep those wheels in order! THE BEARINGS NEXT: If you have K2 skates with 5mm black steel axles (the diameter is smaller than a #2 pencil), the bearings can be removed by using the 'stepped down' end of the K-Tool Handle. Just push the middle of a bearing and the other bearing will pop out the other side of the wheel.
- Page 4 You can do this on the same skate or swap wheel from the left skate over to the right skate - your choice. HiLo Wheel Configurations:Some K2 Inline Skates have two different size wheels therefore they require a slightly different rotation pattern. Using a criss-crossing pattern as listed above swap the #1 wheel the #2 on the opposite skate and the #3 wheel with the #4 wheel on the opposite skate.
