  1. A friend with a screwdriver
  2. You, by copying a friend's number
  3. An authorized shop technician ✔

Why: If the setting is too low, skis may pop off unexpectedly. If it is too high, the bindings may not release when they should. A trained tech gets it right.

Huh, didn't know that: Besides the release number, an authorized technician checks boot compatibility, binding fit and forward pressure.
