Burton binding installation

If you want to play it safe, as I do, just stick to water and elbow grease! Make sure that the correct binding is going to be at the front of the board and the correct binding at the back of the board. Another part of your stance is going to be your stance width.

Place the bindings on the snowboard, without disc, over the holes you have chosen for your particular stance. Place the disc in the bindings of the first binding you are mounting at the binding angles you have chosen.

Line up the arrow on the bindings baseplate with the angle you have chosen. Depending on your boot and your boards width, you might want to line up with the center holes or the holes that are closest to the toe edge or the holes that are closest to the heel edge. This will depend on which holes best center your boots toe and heel overhang. Insert the 4 screws into the 4 hole locations you have chosen for your stance width and boot centering.

Loosely tighten each screw one at a time, so that the binding is secure but only loosely tightened. Close the footbeds and measure from the center of one binding to the center of the other.

Place your boots in the bindings and tighten the ankles strap. It may be the case that you need to go back in to adjust the boot centering, gas pedal or stance width position. Tighten the screws properly once everything checks out and then replace the footbeds.
