About to install a set on a marker piston plate. This is my first time installing a binding, so a few questions:

1. Do I need to adjust the toe piece hieght for the AFD? Not seeing any way to and haven't seen it mentioned anywhere.
2. What should I torque the screws to as I attach them to the piston plate?
3. After I have installed the binding/adjusted din/adjusted forward pressure - anything else I need to do or am I safe to ski? Debating if a release check at a shop is needed.

Thanks!

Nice bindings! I got a pair this year too.

1. No height adjustment. Just works for GripWalk or alpine soles -- doesn't work for anything else.
2. Hand tight, snug. You'll feel it seat and tighten up; don't go much beyond that. About 40-50 in-lbs if you're measuring, which I never do.
3. First time installing bindings? Yes, it should be checked by a shop.
