Roxy VIVA - User Manual

WARNING!
Snowboarding is a hazardous active sport that involves
inherent risks which can result in serious and even fatal
injuries to yourself or others. Snowboarders must be aware
of the risks and assume responsibilities for their actions.
The inherent risks in snowboarding arise from, among other
things, variations in snow cover, composition and gradient,
possible collisions with xed and moving, natural and man
made objects, other snowboarders, your snowboard and/or
bindings and include the risk of suffocation. This boot/bind-
ing interface is designed so it does not release on impact,
which may increase certain of these risks. Prior to each
use these bindings should be inspected to make sure that
parts are not worn, damaged, missing or loose. Even under
normal conditions a binding may break which can increase
the risk of injury. Read this instruction manual when install-
ing and prior to using Roxy bindings. Use only snowboard
specic boots. A runaway snowboard is a dangerous object
and it can cause serious injury or death. You are responsible
so be aware. In compliance with ISO code 14573, you are
required to wear a leash at all times. The leash must be
attached to your bindings baseplate and securely fastened
to your body. The inherent risks of snowboarding can be
greatly reduced by wearing protective equipment, taking
lessons, riding under control, within your limits and with a
buddy at all times. By purchasing and or using these bind-
ings, you acknowledge and voluntarily assume and accept
any and all known and unknown risks incurred while using
using these bindings and hereby release Mervin MFG from
all liability.
BINDING USER MANUAL

GENERAL INFO
Read this manual. It contains important information to use
your bindings
PRE RIDING CHECK LIST
• Double check all your binding screws, bolts and straps.
All hardware should be securely tightened. A few minutes
here will save you an hour on the hill.
• Snowboard specic footwear should be used at all times.
• Know the skier’s responsibility code.
• Remember, these bindings are not designed to release.
POST RIDING CHECKLIST
• Wipe off your snowboard. Don’t bash it in the pavement.
Put it where it can easily dry away from direct heat.
• Tune and wax your snowboard. A well tuned snowboard
is easier to ride and more responsive. Wax protects your
base and makes your snowboard faster, if you use the
right kind! We recommend ONE BALL JAY snowboard wax
products. We recommend you tune your snowboard about
every 5 riding days or when you want to out shred your
friends on the hill.
• Check over your bindings. Re-fasten your straps and
buckles. Use a board bag to protect your board and bind-
ings from dirt while in a car rack or traveling. A board bag
will also improve your image by letting people know you
are a super tech and dialed snowboarder!
LEASH SAFETY
• In compliance with ISO Code 14573, you are required to
use a leash at all times when strapped in. Make sure your
leash is securely fastened to you and your binding.
