USER MANUAL Z01 Hagan

• For a perfect performance of the bind- ing, everything like mounting, adjusting and maintenance has to be carried out by a special retailer according to the manufacturers guidelines.

• You can only use the original ski stop- per. If using a ski leash, it has be to be according to DIN-ISO Standard 11087

• Any modification of the binding, any improper use or use with non suiting accessories, raises the risk of an unin- tended release and therefore is not per- mitted.

• The hagan Z binding has to be mounted right on the ski and without any other external parts, in order to not influence especially the proper function of the ski stoppers.

• Not standardized, worn or damaged boots are due to negatively influence the release function

• An adjusting range of more than Z is not standardized. The setting in this range is at one’s peril. The hagan Z is TÜV-approved and complies with DIN ISO 13992 (Tour) and DIN ISO 9462 (Alpine)

• The hagan Z01 suits the following standardized soles: Ski boots for on Piste skiing accord

ing to DIN ISO 5355, touring boots for adults according to DIN ISO 9523

• Some Dynafit boots and the Scarpa F1 are not compatible

• Leather boots and boots with a flexible sole are not supposed to be used. We generally recommend to check both the boots fit into the binding before mount- ing and whether the binding can be adjusted to the specific type of boot. General guidelines for a standard- ized equipment As a specialized retailer you are obliged to gage, if necessary newly arrange or change all units of equipment and match them with the specific skier according to DIN/ISO 11088, before you mount or adjust the functional unit ski/binding/boot. All parts of equipment have to comply with current DIN/ISO standards. Guidelines for binding inspection:

• Before mounting or adjusting of a hagan binding a visual inspection, especially of used bindings, is required.

• Check whether die release setting of the binding is adjusted to the specific skier

• Damages of the surface: check the surfaces which are in contact with the ski boot for wear and obvious damages. Repair or exchange the worn or dam- aged part.

• Ski brake: check if its broken or bent, check the function

• Scales: check for readability and adjustability

• All binding surfaces have to be clean. Check for contamination and corrosion. If the ski brake is contaminated, clean it with a dry or wet rag. Do not use solvents for the binding clean up, no silicone and no other lubricants than the ones approved by hagan. Repair broken or damaged parts. Guidelines for ski inspection:

• Most skis do have a reinforced area in the skis centre for the purpose of mounting the binding. Since ski mate- rial, construction and dimensions can vary, it is important to follow the guide- lines of the particular ski manufacturer. Also mind the manufacturers sugges- tions concerning drill diameter, gluing materials or thread cutting. Guidelines for the use of ski boots

• hagan ski touring bindings do have release mechanisms that are related to the particular boot sole. For a secure fixation of the boot into the binding a few minimum requirements according to ISO 5355 and 9523, concerning the geometry, have to be fulfilled.

• Only boots complying with this standard are to be used. Not suited are the soles of kids boots DIN ISO 5355 Type C.

• Caution: boots that show a great wear have to checked about the secure func- tioning with the binding or whether they can be fixed into the binding properly and safely. hagan Z Description of the binding parts 1 Toe piece 2 Toe sole holder 3 Adjusting screw lateral release 4 Adjusting scale lateral release 5 Adjusting scale front release 6 Adjusting screw front release 7 Heel cup 8 Opening lever 9 Pole hutch of the opening lever 10 Adjusting screw for forward pressure and sole length 11 Lock for downhill mode and climbing aid stage 1 12 Climbing aid lever 13 Main frame 14 Gliding AFD 15 Ski brake pedal 16 Ski brake lever 17 Paper test stripe 18 Adjusting screw sole height (front) 19 Crampon mounting points 20 Pivot shaft 21 Binding screws 22 Rear standing platform 23 Rear side of the main frame 24 Base plate 25 Ski leashes 26 Ring 27 Hook 28 Lug 29 Slit 30 Crampon 31 Crampon adapter 32 Crampon lock Mounting on the ski and binding adjustment Please check the length of the boot sole and select the binding size according to the following scale: Size Sole length

315-370mm We recommend to always use the smallest size possible Before drilling the binding holes, place your boot in the binding and check whether the forward pressure can be adjusted according to (3.8). This is crucial

• Adult ski (wood core with integrated metal layer) 4.1 x 9mm Adult ski (foam core) 3.5 x 9mm

• Drill through the guide sleeves of the jig and make sure the jig is fitted tightly on the ski.

The fixing screws for ski bindings are conform to applicable DIN/ISO standards. For skis the standard claims for a specific binding mounting range on the ski and defined tear strength of the screws. A few ski models require longer fixing screws since the binding mounting plate is too deep inside the core for regular screw lengths. Make sure to pay attention to the manufacturers instructions.

• Only use genuine ski binding drills and pay attention to the manufacturers instructions. Do not use dulled drills.

• Drill with constant pressure and keep the drill aligned and do not cant it within the jig.

• The drilling hole has to be deep enough to give each hole a countersink. Remove the jig after drilling.

• Turn the ski upside down and knock all chippings out of the holes with your hand.

• If the ski has an integrated metal layer you have to cut threads before mount- ing.

• Fill the drilling holes with special bind

ing glue after drilling (not for skis with a foam core!).

• Make sure that the screws are screwed in absolutely vertical.

• Drill one of the three middle holes on the jig for the additional Z-01 heel- spoiler screw only. Do not use for Z-02!

• Fixing the binding to the ski: all screws have to be tightened and may not be over twisted. If using an cordless screw- driver the torque has to be adjusted as low as possible, in order to avoid an over twisting of the screw. In any case the final tightening of the screw should be carried out by hand.

• If needed or recommended by the manufacturer, glue can be used as a lubricant for the binding screws.

3.1 Place the base plate (24) of the

climbing aid (12) on the three drilling holes at the rear end and screw it in.

3.2 Switch the climbing aid lever (12) up

3.3 Place the rest of the binding unit on

the ski and align it with the base plate of the climbing aid (24).

3.8 Adjusting the sole length and the for

ward pressure: Place the boot in the binding and adjust the heel cup with the length adjustment screw until the screw head aligns with the housing of the rear piece.

3.9 Half open the opening lever for two-

three times and make sure the boot is properly centered. If needed, repeat step 3.8.

3.10 Height adjustment front piece:

Pull the toe of the boot upward in the front. Adjust the toe sole holder (1) by turning the sole height adjusting screw (18) until there remains a gap between the boot sole and the gliding with boots that have sizes (300-305mm and 335-340mm) which are close to the particular adjusting ranges of the different binding sizes (S/M/L).

Always follow the ski manufacturers recom- mendations. Basically there are two differ- ent ways (ill. B) To place the binding on the ski: a) Skis with a mounting point: most manu

facturers indicate the mounting position of the binding either on the skis surface or on its sidewall, whereas the midsole mark of the boot has to be aligned with this mounting point. b) Skis without a mounting point: toe of the boot = center of the ski

Bisect the length of the ski and mark it measured from the tail of the ski. Align the mounting jig with its marking, align the toe of the boot and clamp the jig.

Measure the length of your boot sole. Match up the corresponding point on the scale of the mounting jig with the assembly marking for the middle of your boot, and clamp.

• Do not bend the ski while drilling

• Make sure to use only the intended guide sleeves or marks referring to the particular binding length: Guide sleeve color of the jig S silver M black L gold

Now push the crampon-locking lever (33) upward until it locks. Dismount in the reverse order.

3.15 General operation of the binding:

See user manual client . Release value selection and adjustment Only use the DIN/ISO recommended release values! Only use the chart attached below or the official standard- adjustment charts to calculate the right release value for the specific skier.

• Each modification or personal adjust

• The adjustment is carried out via the adjustment screws (3+6)

• The adjustment value is visible on the Z- value adjusting scale (4+5). Always set front and toe piece on the same values.

• We strongly recommend to double check the release value on a speci- fic binding test device (compare ISO 11110)

• The release value have to be evaluated for each skier by a specialized retailer, in order to find the right adjustment according to DIN/ISO 11088

• All specifications and the adjusted Z- value have to be entered in a certificate and be handed out to the client along with the owner’s manual. .1 Categorization of the skier according to the weight method Required information of the skier:

• Skier type This classification for a skier’s type has to be evaluated in a conversation between retailer and skier in order to find out the parameters for the setting of the binding. The parameters are the following: Skier type 1:

• Skis without taking risks

• Prefers moderate speed

• Prefers easy, moderate terrain

• Has a basic skiing knowledge and little shape

• For good skiers with a moderate and mellow style, preferring to on the safe side

• Uses a lower Z-setting. The risk of unintended releases is higher, but the binding releases in any case, even in a slight fall. Skier type 2:

• Has a basic skiing knowledge and good shape

• Skis at varying speeds

• Skis every terrain, even difficult slopes

• Applies to every skier who is not cate

gorized in any of the other types AFD (14) of 0.5mm (it has to be pos- sible to pull a 0.5mm paper test stripe through this gap between the sole and gliding AFD). Caution: The toe sole holder screw may only be operated with a hand screw- driver! If the sole is too thick a not standardized, it cannot be fitted in as described. In this case you have to grind the sole down as far as the above mentioned paper stripe test can be realized.

3.11 Height adjustment of the heel cup

The heel cup (7) adjusts to the height of the boot heel by itself!

3.12 Check whether the boot is held in the

binding without any clearance. There- fore you have to turn the boot upward and sideways by hand.

The hagan ski brake is supplied with a ski brake for a maximum waist width of 80mm ex works! Additional options are ski brakes with a waist width of 90, 100 and 115mm. Mounting and exchange of this optional brake widths: Loosen the screws (22), exchange the whole brake against the optional, new one and then tighten the screws again by hand! Check: The brake levers have to move freely along the sidewalls of the ski. If they touch the sidewalls slightly, you can carefully bend the levers apart until they have the desired width.

• High speeds, difficult slopes

• Skis aggressively and fast

• Prefers steep terrain

• Uses a Z-setting, which is above nor

mal level. As a consequence the risk of both, unintended releases and releases in crashes, is less. .2 Adjustment of the release values

• Find the skiers code according to chart

1. Find out the skiers weight in column

1, the skiers height in column 2. If these are not found in the same line, use the code of the line above.

• This code refers to skier type 1. - For a skier type 2, go one line down - For a skier type 3, go two lines down

• For a skier being older than 50 years, again go one line up

• After defining the skiers code, go find the column in chart 2 which refers to the sole length (in mm)

• The interface between the column for the sole length and the line for the skier’s code specifies the adjustment value.

• Adjust front- and toe piece accordingly

• Caution, if the interface of the right line and the column is a blank box, take the value of the next box in the same line.

• If the binding has proofed unintended releases the retailer is allowed to adjust at the behest of the skier:

• First raise the front release value at the heel piece. Then, but only in case of still occurring unintended releases, raise the value for torsional releases at the toe piece. These settings have to be carried out progressively by raising the value in half steps. . Measuring of the release torque with a testing device If mounting, adjustment and functional test were carried out properly, the binding has to be double-checked with a calibrated, according to DIN/ISO 11110, measuring device for ski bindings. Important! Mind the specifications of the measuring device manufacturer. This examination should assess and con- firm with a print out, that the adjusted nominal values for the release (indicated in Nm) are within the predefined tolerances. Release value tolerance According to DIN/ISO 11088 a release value tolerance of +/- 15% is permitted, corresponding with a chart value between one line above and one line below the nominal release value (My, Mz in the col- umns of the adjusting chart). If the meas- ured value is lying within these tolerances, the system can be cleared. Important! After a correct adjustment of the binding it is necessary to hand out both the func- tional unit and an inspection document (printed or handwritten) to the client. . Fault diagnostic process Carry out the following test after a correct adjustment of the side release and the heel piece: Check whether ski binding, ski and ski boot are conforming to criteria of visual examination. Important: All used binding have to be cleaned before exami- nation. Do not grease sole holder or glide AFC! Side release function test: Review of lateral resilience and reset (symmetry): Clamp the ski tightly and hit the front part of the ski boot sideways with the palm of your hand. Die toe cap of the boot should deflect around 10mm and has to be back in its initial center position as quick as frictionless. If the system has a default:

Slow and not exact reset to the center:

• Check whether the ski boot conforms to DIN/ISO standards or is extensively worn. If needed, replace it.

• Check the height adjustment of the toe sole holder and correct if necessary.

• Toe cap of the boot is not precisely centered in the toe sole holder: check the forward pressure and correct if necessary B Non-symmetric release:

• It can occur that the release does not work symmetrically. If the release values to the right or to the left happen to be out of the tolerances, this can be due to an adjustment failure or due to a non- fitting boot. Check the following:

• Ski boot: Does it conform to DIN/ISO standards? - No excessive wear, damage of the rims and the sole - No differing radii at the hold points

• Height adjustment of the toe piece: Adjustment according to 3.10

• Forward pressure: Adjustment according to 3.8

Screws at the front piece or the lock mechanism/climbing aid are loose:

• Check whether screws are missing, over wound or loose. If necessary repair or replace or maybe glue it in. If everything is ok, repeat the release check. If it still does not function properly, we recommend consulting the manufac- turer. Care and maintenance The warranted guarantee by hagan pre- sumes that the owner’s manual as well as the warning notices have been followed and taken care of. Make sure to get the binding checked according to its function and correct adjustment regularly or at least before starting a new ski season. Always store your skis with the binding locked in a dry and cool, but frost-protected place. If the binding is heavily contaminated, only refine it with water. Caution: Only use hagan approved lubri- cants. Otherwise friction values could alter, leading to unintended releases. In case of questions or dubiety we are glad to help anyway.
