FIRST FITTING
⑥ A QUICK TEST BEFORE SKIING
With the mojos activated, flex your knees
to around 90° (you may want to hold on
to a chair or table for balance), then lift
the toes of your ski boots a fraction off
the ground so that you are balanced on
your heels. If you do not feel your feet
being turned in or turned out, then fitting
is complete.
However, if your feet turn-out when doing this test, you will need to move the Clamp-on boot
fittings a little further towards the outside of your boots (1 or 2 mm). If your feet turn-in when
doing this test, you will need to move the Clamp-on boot fittings a little further towards the
centre of your boots. Please note that this test is not necessary for snowboarders.
Once you are happy with the settings – we recommend that you make a note of them at the
end of this booklet
WHEN TO HAVE YOUR SKI~MOJO SWITCHED ON OR OFF ?
While out skiing – It soon becomes second nature to switch on and switch off, simply feeling for
the switches through your ski trousers with your ski gloves on.
As a general rule, keep the Ski~Mojo switched off whenever you do not have your skis on and
switched on whenever you do have your skis on.
The one exception is when riding a chair lift. You should ensure that the springs are dis-engaged
before you get on to a chair lift. If you forget – we all do ! don't panic – simply put the switches
into the off position and then swing your legs forwards and up to disengage the springs. Once
you are on the chair lift you may want to put the switches in to the On position in preparation
for when you get off. You can either get off the lift as you would normally and the springs will
engage once you straighten your legs OR just before you get off the chair, swing your legs up to
engage the springs, then as the chair arrives the tails of your skis will contact the ground first
and the skis will be pushed back under the chair so that you can easily stand up and ski off,
⑦ INSTALL THE PERMANENT BALL STUDS ON YOUR SKI BOOTS
already powered up.
Once you are completely happy with the position of the Clamp-on Ball-Studs, and if you have
your own ski boots, we strongly recommend that you fit ball studs directly on to your ski boots
rather than using the clamps.
Using the mark left by the clamp as a guide make a 4.5 mm hole in the shell of your ski boot. The
actual hole can be above or below the mark left by the clamp, if that is a more suitable place to
make the hole (however, max 3cm from the top of the boot). For the vast majority of ski boots
that have two fixings holding the power strap in place, the outside fixing is usually the ideal
place to install the stud. Don't forget to take the liner out of the boots before drilling to ensure
you don't damage them.
