**You will need a 5mm hex allen wrench for the ski bolts.  A long T-handle with a ball end is best.**

It may seem like a no-brainer, but there is a slight trick to easily mounting your skis.  Some skis and adapters may have a slightly imperfect bolt pattern; in order for the adapters to “self correct”, follow these steps:

1.  Place the adapter on the ski and over the bolt holes.  If you are mounting the Riff Raff or Zig Zag, you will notice two sets of mounting holes on the rear ski.  Most riders use the forward most set of holes, but it is personal preference.

2.  Start each bolt in each hole, only turning each bolt a couple of turns so that the threads catch.

3.  Working in a circular pattern, gradually tighten the bolts until they are all tight.  There is no torque setting as you can only get them so tight.
