!Attention
Snowboarding is a hazardous activity. Use of this product may cause serious
bodily injury to any and all parts of the user’s body. The CLEW snowboard bind-
ing has a non-release binding system which does not release automatically even
upon impact. This product is used at the rider’s own risk.
Use of this product by minors should be supervised by an adult. It is recom-
mended that the user receives instructions from a snowboard instructor before
using this equipment.
This snowboard binding is only suitable for users with a minimum of 45kg and a
maximum of 110kg body weight.

Positioning
The CLEW mounting system oers many possible angles and po-
sitions. A good starting point is the reference position given on
most boards.
Snowboard bindings can be mounted „goofy“ (right foot forward)
or „regular“ (left foot forward). Choose the position that feels most
natural to you and mount the bindings accordingly.
We also recommend to use an anti-slip pad. See page 16 for more
information.
GoofyRegular
Which position suits you best?
Tip 1 To find out whether you are riding regular or goofy, previous experience
in related sports (such as skateboarding, wakeboarding, surfing, or mono water
skiing) can be helpful.
Tip 2Another way to find out whether you are a regular or goofy rider is to let
a friend push you from behind. The foot that steps forward first should be the
leading foot on the board.
Tip 3In powder and deep snow many snowboarders recommend attaching the
bindings a bit further back. So that the weight is more on the rear end (tail) of
the snowboard.

Mounting
CLEW bindings are supplied with all the necessary hardware for mounting. Use only the hardware provided with the binding, since it has been chosen to
provide the best board-to-binding connection. Using dierent mounting screws may cause damage to the board, place the user at risk of binding failure
and void the binding warranty.
If you are not confident about mounting the binding yourself, there are many well qualified snowboard shops which will gladly provide this service.
Unscrew the fixing screw and push
the footbed forward to remove it.
Arrange the binding in the proper
angle and distance on the snowboard.
The binding pair should always be
placed in the middle of the snow-
board. With one exception: in deep
snow, it is also good to ride with
the binding slightly shifted back.
?Not sure which position is best for you?
On page 6 we have some tips for you!

Define the horizontal location of the
binidng.
For ideal force transmission, the
binding with soft boot should be
centered on the snowboard.
!You can adjust the footbed individually.
That is especially useful for big feet.
We explain how it works on page 8.

Put a washer under each screw and
loosely screw in all four screws. When
all four screws are loosely screwed in,
tighten all screws one by one.
Check the screws each time before
snowboarding to ensure that they are
tightened and undamaged.
!Do not use any type of Loctite or similar
products which can critically reduce the
strength of plastic parts.
5
Line up the holes with the inserts in
your board and then find your pre-
ferred angle by rotating the binding
under the disc.
To read the angle, see where the
marks on the binding line up with
the angle marks on the disc.
!Most riders in our team set their binding
angles to around 15° on their front foot
and -9° on their back foot.

The CLEW binding can be used with
the hole patterns shown above.
!If your board has a 3D hole pattern,
you will need a special mounting disc,
which we provide free of charge.
In thiscase, contact CLEW Support
(support@clew.de).

Setting options
Ankle strap
Open the safety lever, adjust the
length and close it again.
!Adjust all straps so that at least 2.5 cm of
ratchet band remains behind the ratchet.

For the step-in function to work best,
the CLEW toe strap should be worn
over the toe.
To find the best position, you need to
adjust the length of the band: open the
safety lever, set the correct length and
close the lever again.
The position of the toe strap can be
changed by pushing the strap down,
out of the base, and sliding it into the
second available slot.
The toe buckle can be locked by
pressing its ratchet lever down.
To unlock the toe buckle pull its
ratchet lever up.

Footbed
For ideal force transmission, you
can adjust the length of the footbed.
Loosen the fixing screw and slide
the footbed towards the desired po-
sition. Make sure that the footbed
does not extend beyond the edge
of the board. Then tighten the fixing
screw again.
Forward Lean
Turn the lever to a horizontal position,
then move it to the desired position.
Turn the lever back to the vertical po-
sition and make sure it is tight. Check
it each time before snowboarding to
make sure it is tight and undamaged.
!More forward lean is recommended for
aggressive riding styles and in icy conditions,
less forward lean for a more relaxed standing
position.
