3 FISCHER HISTORY

THE HISTORY OF FISCHER

FISCHER IS AN OUTSTANDING INNOVATOR IN THE ALPINE SKI SECTOR.

From sledges to Skifahrwerk™ (the latest ski suspensi- on technology). FISCHER has been at home in the snow for more than 80 years. Based in Ried im Innkreis, Upper Austria, the company offers a complete range of Alpine and cross country ski equipment. Skis, boots, bindings, tennis rackets and hockey sticks are sold worldwide.

The company was founded in 1924 by Josef Fischer se- nior, who in the beginning mainly produced rack wagons and toboggans, plus skis made to order. By 1934 the factory employed 85 staff and was making 40,000 pairs of skis.

In 1958 FISCHER evolved from being merely a ski manufacturer into a brand. Rudolf Ferch designed the corporate logo consisting of three equal triangles. At the time nobo- dy could have guessed that it was to become one of the most famous symbols in the sport industry.

In 1964 all signs point to success: with Austrian Egon Zimmermann’s victory in the Olympic Downhill in Inns- bruck FISCHER wins the first Gold medal in its history. More than 250,000 pairs of skis are sold in this season. The winning “Alu-Steel” ski was the first metal ski to make a breakthrough with 40% of the market share worldwide.

Franz Klammer heralds a golden era on the FISCHER C4 starting in 1973. The national hero wins the Olympics in Innsbruck in 1976, dominates Alpine racing for years and goes down in the history books as the most successful downhill skier of all time.

PREPARATION - FILING EDGES 2. Apply wax: The wax is melted using a waxing iron and dripped onto the base of the ski. 1. Remove the sidewall: The sidewall ridge is filed away so the edge can be sharpened more easily. NOTE: The waxing iron is at the correct temperature when the wax melts uniformly without forming smoke.

2. Filing the edges: The idea edge angle is 87 – 88° for 3. Iron on wax: The temperature needs to be set to perfect edge grip. Filing jigs can be obtained in specialist between 110 and 130 °C. The waxing iron is drawn across sports shops. Step 1 rough file, Step 2 fine finish using the base at a constant speed in the skiing direction. diamond file. NOTE: Do not iron backwards and forwards or concent- rate on one spot because there is a risk of the base over- heating.

Clean the base: Dirt, dust and wax remnants can be removed using a cleaning solvent obtainable from specialist sports shops.

IMPORTANT: Before moving on to the next steps, air the ski well (leave it outside for at least 15 minutes). An alternative is hot waxing (iron on wax and immediately scrape off soft gliding wax). 5. Brush the running surface with a nylon and/or combined brush in the direction of skiing. For the best possible gliding results, the structure of the base must be brushed thoroughly to remove any residual wax.

For mounting AAATTACK 16, 13 or 11 bindings hook the brake into heel housing and place the heel unit over the predrilled holes and tighten ten screws in a cross pattern. For toe unit, place the mounting part over the front 2 predrilled hole and tighten the screws. Now slide the toe unit from rear over the mounting part and fasten the screws.

Adjust the AFD with the screw on the top so that the tester is still moveable but with a slight resistance. In this case, you reached a gap of 0.5 mm between AFD and the boot.

5.3.1 SOLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT For proper function the height of the AFD must be adjusted to the height of the boot sole. FISCHER recommends to use the “AAA BOOT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT TESTER” (Art. No. T162983) to get the ideal distance of 0.5 mm between boot and AFD.

MIN MAX

If the tester is not moveable, the gap is smaller than 0,5 mm, if you feel no resistance the gap is more than 0.5 mm. In both cases you need to re-adjust the AFD.

The Attack 13 AT provides full AT adjustability for alpine, walking and touring boots. Please use the A (Alpine), W (Walk) and T (Touring) markings for rough adjustment.

5.2 FOR TWO-PIECE BINDINGS Hook the brake into heel housing and place the binding over the predrilled holes and tighten the screws in a cross pattern. Use AAATTACK bindings only with Alpine boots (TYPE A). Turning the adjustment screw at the toe moves the AFD up or down. Place the tester on the AFD and enter the boot in the binding. Lift the tip of the boot to take out the play of the toe. Adjust the AFD with the screw in the front so that the tester is still moveable but with a slight resistance. In this case, you reached a gap of 0.5 mm between AFD and the boot.

Only with these screws the right over to the consumer? pullout strength is guarantee.

8. ADJUSTING THE RELEASE VALUES

The release values of the toe and heel should be determined by height and body weight (ISO/ASTM) method. Set the binding accordingly with the adjustment screws at heel- and toe unit - therefore use a manual screwdriver. We recommend the use of a calibrated testing device and that you keep a written record of whether the system passes or fails (requirement in the US). NOTE: Release/retention settings above a release moment of 100 NM at the toe and 400 NM at the heel are higher than the international standards recommend and are used solely at the skier’s own risk!

9. FUNCTION CHECK

ENTRY/EXIT: Check to make sure that the boot does not catch on the heel hold down lug.

BRAKE: press the brake pedal (1) down by hand. The brake arms (2) must automatically return to the braking position when the pedal is released.

After that you can mark the correct positions with a punch for front and rear position. For Retail Version use the cir- cle-indicator and mark the closest centimeter position. For Rental version use the quad-indicators .

4.1.2 RENTAL VERSION – HEEL UNIT Start with placing the Demo Track over the holes and fasten all screws in a cross pattern. Use the included screws from the binding.

3. DRILLING THE HOLES

If not otherwise specified by the ski manufacturer, use a 4.1 Ø x 9 mm drill bit for the toe and the heel track (8 holes) if required by the ski manufacturer, tap the holes. After drilling, place a drop of FISCHER glue into the holes. It lubricates the screws and seals the holes.

If required by the ski manufacturer, tap the holes.

Open the lock again and tighten the other two screws of the toe piece.

After drilling place a drop of Fischer glue into the holes. It lubricates the screws and seals the holes.

Now you can mount the heel. Therefore hook the brake into the heel housing, slide the heel on the platform from the back and lock it at the appropriate boot sole marking.

4. MOUNTING

Place the heel track assembly over the holes and fasten all screws in a cross pattern. After that you can close the ascender lock and you are ready for the final adjustments.

Presently the drill template AAATTACK Demo can be used for: AAATTACK 13 DEMO AAATTACK 11 DEMO All AAAttack Demo bindings come with 8 mm penetration screws and can be used with skis of groups G1 & G2. For mounting AAAttack Demo bindings on G3 & G4 skis and on Fischer skis with LIBRA, Women’s architecture the premounted screws have to be changed. Therefore use the spare part “Screw Set AAAttack Demo – G3 & G4 (6 2.1. DRILL TEMPLATE mm)” A.No. T163 024 or “Screw Set Attack 11 Demo – G3 & G4 (6 mm)” (Art.No. T163073).

2. POSITIONING OF THE TEMPLATE

There are two ways to mount AAAttack Demo bindings.

5. SOLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

For proper function the height of the AFS must be adjusted to the height of the boot sole. Fischer recommends using the “AAA BOOT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT TESTER” (A.No. T162 983) to get the ideal distance of 0.5mm between boot and AFS. Use AAAttack Demo bindings only with Alpine boots (TYPE A). Turning the adjustment screw at the toe moves the AFS up or down. Place the tester on the AFS and enter the boot in the binding. Lift the tip of the boot to take out the play of the toe. Adjust the AFS with the screw in the front so that the tester is still moveable but with a slight 6. FORWARD PRESSURE resistance. Check the forward pressure, by placing a boot into the binding. If you have followed all mounting steps correctly, the indicator should rest in the marked area– and you are ready to go.

In this case, you reach a gap of 0.5mm between AFS and the boot.

If you have too much or not enough forward pressure, check the settings and if necessary re-adjust the heel. Then close the lever and check the forward pressure again. Now it should be okay.

5. POWERRAIL SYSTEM Finally you can snap in the appropriate cover.

The POWERRAIL system meets the demands of adult skiers, while being perfectly suited for both retail and rental sectors! All POWERRAIL bindings can be combined with both types of bases.

The standard base POWERRAIL consists of a monoblock base body and a cover with an inlaid toothed area. The cover can be colour matched to the ski design.

5.2 MOUNTING - BINDINGS Make sure that the boot is satisfying the international standards and has no functional damage. Take the binding parts out of the box and follow the steps on the instruction leaflet. Determine the boot sole length with the FISCHER/ FISCHER rental caliper (Art. No. T162617).

For unhindered natural ski flex, the base is secured by one fixed pair of screws, and three free-gliding pairs of screws. This ensures the base safely adapts to the flex of the ski. NOTE: FISCHER offers different types of brakes for PO- WERRAIL bindings. The Description of the brakes always includes a number like 78, 90, 97, 115, and so on …. This number stands for the maximum ski width in the brake area and not in the ski center!!! FIRST INSTALLATION Open the toe-lever and slide the toe on the rail from the front. Lock at the appropriate boot sole length and close 5.1 MOUNTING - BASE the lever. If the base is not already pre-mounted on the ski, you have to use the template Bases & Plates to mount it. Just select the right mounting mark and the appropriate bushings: the white mark and the silver bushings for POWERRAIL. The procedure is similar as for plates . After drilling, cleaning, tapping and lubricating you can put on the base. Place it over the holes and tighten all screws.

Now hook the brake into the heel housing.

Then open the heel lever, slide the heel on the rail from the back and lock it at the appropriate boot sole marking. Don’t forget to check that the lever is closed again. Finally, check the forward pressure, by placing a boot into the binding. If you have followed all steps correctly, the indicator should rest in the marked area – and you are ready to go.

If you want to increase the stability of your junior binding in combination with children (type C) boots, you can replace the standard AFS with a vertically blocked AFS (Art. No. T162962), which is for children (type C) boots ONLY. All you have to do is to separate the standard slider from the base plate.

Check the elasticity and retention of the toe by pushing the boot inward and outward. The binding must recenter the boot easily and quickly from a 15 mm lateral displacement (FJ 7.5 AC, FJ 4.5 AC - 10 mm).

8. FINAL CHECK • Is the proper mounting point selected? • Functional brake test passed? • Have all screws been fastened tightly? • Is the forward pressure properly adjusted? • Are the release values of toe and heel properly determined and set? • Is the Instruction for use booklet ready to be handed Afterwards you can simply click in the spare slider. over to the customer?

If rental output drops below 50% of capacity over the sampling period, the sample size can reduced proportionately.

IN-SEASON INSPECTION

1. Take a random sample of the rental inventory as determined by Table B. Take half the sample from inventory as it is either rented or returned and the remainder from inventory available for rental. 2. The returned samples are tested with the last costumer’s data, the other samples adjust to randomly selected skier data. Consider already applied Correction Factors. 3. Wipe the boot clean and cycle the boot/binding systems at least once in each direction. 4. Test sample units in Twist (one direction only) and Forward Lean. 5.

Additionally, we recommend that the skier’s setting not be closer than one number from the minimum or maximum settings on the binding in order to allow for future readjustment. • Are the mounting screw lengths appropriate for the ski being used?

3. CHECK THE CONDITION OF BINDING

• Are all parts present and in working order? • Is the AFD surface smooth and secure? If not, it should be replaced. • Are all mounting screws present or tight? 5. REPLACING THE BRAKE • Does the binding show signs of contamination? • Has proper periodic lubrication been performed?

If component inspections and a calibration check do not reveal a problem the skier may be requesting discretionary settings.

INFORMATION FOR SKIERS REQUESTING DISCRETIONARY SETTINGS.

1. Your normal release/retention settings comply with ISO/ ASTM standards. Although these guidelines may be in- appropriate for some types of competitive skiing or com- petition training, they are believed to provide an effective compromise between the release and retention needs of most recreational skiers. 2. Adhering to these guidelines may help to reduce the risk of injuries resulting from improper release/retention setting selection. However, skiing involves inherent risks. Injury can result from simply falling down, impact with an object, or from many other actions. Many injuries are unrelated to the function of the release system. Furthermore, even a properly adjusted binding cannot protect the skier in all situations. 3. Difficulties with release or retention may be unrelated to release/retention settings and can result from your skiing style, the incompatibility of your boots and bindings, or wear, damage, or contamination of a component of the release system. Be sure to describe your circumstances to the shop technician and to authorize recommended inspections and repairs before proceeding. 4. If you have been dissatisfied with the release/retention settings that result from your normal skier classification, you may wish to consider changing your skier classification, or designating skier type classifications that are different for twist and forward lean.You may even request discretionary release/retention settings that are outside of your setting range. If you believe that you require higher release/retention settings but are unsure if the increase should be applied to twist or forward lean settings, request that the increase be applied to forward lean settings before experimenting with higher twist settings. Similarly if you believe that you require lower release/ retention settings but are unsure if the decrease should be applied to twist or forward lean settings, request that the decrease be applied to twist settings before experimenting with lower forward lean settings.

BOOTS BINDINGS BINDING SYSTEM SKI HISTORY APPENDIX BINDINGS

• Training is very important in the use of any device. Read the instructions thoroughly, and practice! • To insure reproducibility from one technician to another a “Multiple Operator Reproducibility Test” should be performed by all users of the testing device. This simply requires that all technicians join in a “round robin” exercise where each tests the same system with the same test device. The goal is to verify that the testing techniques are the same and that all test results are comparable. Speak with your testing device supplier for the details on how to conduct this program. • Beware of “black box” calculations that may be performed by some electronic testers, the calculations performed to arrive at an indicator value or determine an appropriate Torque Range could be based on old standards. Check the current FISCHER Adjustment Chart for appli- cable values. • Periodic calibration of these devices is important, and this information should be documented in your shop records. • Most important, never blindly trust the values given by any test device. This is just one tool to use in your evalua- tion of a complete release/retention system.

MAINTENANCE

Inform every customer of the simple fact that periodic maintenance is needed. If they don’t bring their gear back for regular function checks, it is unreasonable to expect it to work as designed. Studies have shown that binding systems which have not been properly maintained have serious injury rates very much higher than those which have. Following this simple, logical guideline is the single most effective way to decrease serious injuries dramatically. Have the system serviced by a FISCHER certified technician once each 15–20 days of skiing, or annually, whichever comes first.

ARCHIVING RECORD

Should you become one of the few that must defend against a law suit you will soon find out that the very best defense is made of paper. For this reason we recommend that you start out each ski season with a huge, brand new, manila envelope. Over the course of the season you should fill it with the following items:

• Collect a copy of the technical manual for each and every binding, boot and ski on the market. Be especially diligent with those you carry or work on regularly. • Copies of the manufacturer’s customer instruction booklets. • Technician employment applications. Make sure they have the address of someone who will always know where they can be found, and is likely to stay put – Moms are good. This can be invaluable if you need the technician as a witness. • A listing of all technician certifications and their dates. Keep all certification records as well. • Copies of any pertinent wall charts, customer information posters etc. • A copy of your shop procedures, including training materials, rental and repair shop practices, and binding setting charts. • Copies of rental fleet test data.

This type of supporting documentation can be tremend- ously useful for your lawyer.

STORAGE OF FORMS

All forms containing the customer’s signature must be kept for a minimum of five years or the term of the statute of limitations in the state where the injury occurs, or your state, whichever is longer. As a practical matter you have no idea where or when your customer may sustain an injury on this equipment. Naturally, should an injury occur to either an adult or a child, keep the original form in a safe place until the case is completely resolved. Risk Management is really just common sense. Do your job well, have integrity, keep your customers well informed, and keep proper records. Follow these simple rules and you will have very few problems.
