Jenex XLA98 Instructions

INSTRUCTIONS FOR XLA98, XLC98, XLK98 & XLQ98 ROLLER SKIS
SAFETY: Like many sports, roller skiing can be dangerous. If you are new to the sport, we recommend that you seek instruction
from a qualified person. Wear protective gear; helmet, gloves, knee and elbow pads etc. Ski in areas with no or low traffic.
Use common senses when roller skiing. If you are a beginner, seek instruction from a qualified skier.
Read the Jenex E-book, "Steady and Confident" by Doug Garfield; watch the video, "Becoming a Better Skier" by Zach Caldwell.
MAINTENANCE OF ROLLER SKIS: Before every ski, inspect your equipment to make sure that it is in good condition. Look for
small cracks in any metal that might indicate potential fatigue failure. Make sure the shafts are not damaged. Indentations or deep
scrape marks in the bottom of the shaft or wheel forks seriously increases the risk of the shaft or wheel fork breaking. If you are
skiing with proper technique the shafts and forks will not be damaged. If you have Brakes or Speed Reducers make sure they are
functioning properly. Tighten loose screws, grease any metal-on-metal parts such as speed reducer arms. Regularly rinse off dirt,
grass etc. and allow to dry properly before storing.
MOUNTING OF BINDINGS: For NNN boots JENEX recommends Turnamic® bindings. For accurate mounting of bindings
use a drill jig. Jenex makes a professional drill jig for Turnamic® bindings that will fit all V2 roller skis. For V2 roller skis the drill bit
diameter should be 3.80mm (US #25 – 0.1495 to 0.156" diameter). A standard 118° jobber drill bit is acceptable for both the XLA
and XLK, but for the XLK a special Kevlar drill bit will produce cleaner holes. It's preferable to mount the bindings on the balance
point, but for roller skis this can only be accomplished if you have a very small foot. The dimensions below are a general guideline
for different shoe sizes. For accurate positioning of the binding it's best to use the V2 Turnamic® Drill jig.
Apply epoxy to the binding screw threads, or place a bit of epoxy in the binding holes on the ski before inserting the
Dimension A below is from the lip of the wheel fork to the front binding mounting hole(s).
Turnamic® bindings use T20 Torx® drive screws so a standard Phillips bit will not work.
Caution! When drilling the holes put a stop on the drill bit so the drill does not damage the inside bottom of the shaft.
