recommend you take it to a specialized workshop or contact us directly before
riding.

For footrest adjustment, see p.9
➢
For adjusting the center of gravity, see p.8

For adjusting the ride height, spring rate, rebound and compression damping,
please see the separate
Shock Manual

Mechanical Safety Check
➢
Routinely check the condition of your monoski before each use (e.g. loose bolts
and nuts, cracks, fraying straps, etc.).
➢
In tightening the fasteners (e.g. nuts, bolts, and screws) on your monoski, use
correct tightening torque. Incorrect tightening torque can result in component
damage or failure.
➢
Make sure that the tri-glides used for non-sewn side-release buckles prevent the
belts from slipping out of the buckles.
➢
Check the condition of the shock absorber for any visible damage and oil
leakage.
➢
Check the rebound and compression damping of the shock absorber.

General Safety on the slope
➢
Spend considerable time and effort to learn how to get on a chairlift, to sit on it
safely, and to get off safely. Some chairlift seats are very thick and lead to you sit
closer to the edge. Make sure you sit in a stable and secure manner without any
risk of falling off.
See “Using the
Chairlift
” section of this manual for details.
➢
If you are a beginner and/or are not familiar with ski slopes, always ski with a
certified instructor.
➢
If you ride the monoski independently, make sure that you have enough
knowledge and skills to ride it safely and under full control at all times.
➢
Ski on properly prepared ski slopes.
➢
Observe the rules on the slopes.
➢
Always wear a helmet which meets the latest certification standards and is
appropriate for the type of skiing you do.
➢
Always wear ski gloves and goggles.
➢
Start slowly on easier terrain and build up your skills.
➢
Be familiar with how your suspension works as it changes the way your monoski
performs.
➢
Avoid skiing alone.
➢
Avoid riding the lift alone.
➢
If you want to adjust the shock absorber on the slope, find a relatively flat place
where there is no heavy traffic.
➢
Ride at speeds appropriate for the conditions. Higher speed in general means
higher risk.
