Yesterday i got my new Dynastar 6th Sense Slicer delivered with a new Pivot 14. I already installed the bindings fiting for my boot size at the correct point.
This bindings are my first of that kind and i wondered how to adjust the forward pressure. When i first stepped in the bindings, the pressure was obiously too weak. After that i tightened the screw until i supposed it to be good. Now I'm afraid, that I've got too much forward pressure, well knowing what accidents can happen.
I hope you can help me along.

Look at the arms of the heel piece, you'll notice you can screw them in and out, that's how you adjust the forward pressure. It doesn't move much, about 10mm total.

Thx, but the question wasn't how to change the pressure. I wanted to know how to notice if the pressure is correct or not

Their are two little pointers on the back plastic piece. Have the white plastic tip be in-between those two. Also dont change forward pressure while the boot is in it wont turn out right.

correct. also, when you adjust forward pressure, before you go and check your boot in the binding, turn the heel 90° to 'reset' the heel. forward pressure on those bindings is a pain to adjust, but once it's dialed, you shouldn't have to worry about it.
