The Tele-Ride Binding is guaranteed to perform well given periodic maintenance and when following these general guidelines:

1. When learning, activate the slide prior to making a turn. Once in the fully-back position, initiate your turn. As you gain proficiency, you will activate the slide turn in one fluid motion.
2. Rise and slide to the forward position after completing your turn.
3. When skiing ruts, bumps, or making rapid, short-swing turns, remain in the forward position.
4. Never twist your rear boot toe when in the fully-back position. While the Tele-Ride Binding is manufactured to withstand substantial torque, you may fatigue the rear end-cap assembly.
5. Do not attempt to activate the slide when the Teleboard is extremely flexed, for example, when riding between tight moguls.
6. Set the binding lock to inactivate the slide. You might want to inactivate the slide on steep, tight trails where you use jump turns.

Maintenance

The Tele-Ride binding is made of durable materials that will perform well with seasonal maintenance.

Dirt and grime may build up on the binding track, reducing the ease with which the slide moves. For optimal performance, disassemble the binding and remove the base plate from the track:

1. Remove the socket bolts from the front end cap and the track, then slide the binding plate off the track.
2. Clean the inside of the binding plate and the track with a mild spray cleaner.
3. To further reduce friction, apply Teflon or a similar spray to the top of track and inside the binding plate, and polish both parts to a smooth finish. Do not use oil-based lubricants.
4. Reassemble the parts.
