- 1). Get a Burton Retro Disc for each binding. Boards that feature The Channel should come with the discs. If you got your board secondhand or didn't receive the Retro Discs, contact Burton or your local snowboard retailer to get them. The discs will provide the proper mounting hardware for attaching a K2 binding to the Channel system. Without this disc, the K2 binding will not attach to a snowboard with Channel mounting.
- 2). Place your boots into the bindings and adjust the hardware. Bindings like the K2 Company come with tool-less toe ramps, which you should lengthen or shorten to accommodate your boot. You should also adjust the straps so that they fit your boots.
- 3). Remove the foot bed on your K2 binding to expose the mounting disc.
- 4). Pop the rubber stoppers out of each channel on the snowboard. Use a screwdriver or other tool to pry them out.
- 5). Place the metal bolts from the Retro disc mounting kit into each channel. Each binding requires two bolts.
- 6). Reinstall the rubber stoppers into the end of each channel, making sure they're flush with the top of the board.
- 7). Insert the mounting disc into each binding at your desired angle.
- 8). Adjust the bolts in each channel to the appropriate position based upon your stance width and desired setback. Don't worry too much about this step because The Channel system makes it very easy to adjust these settings.
- 9). Place the mounting disc holes over the bolts. There are three sets of holes on the Retro Disc; use the set of holes that best centers your boots on the width of the board. Install a boot to double check -- if the toe overhangs, for instance, mount the binding with the front holes to prevent toe drag.

Install the screws to the bolts by hand. - 11
Prior to tightening the screws, make any last minute adjustments to binding angle and placement. The hole in the middle of the mounting disc shows you where the bindings are placed. - 12
Tighten the screws by turning clockwise. Each binding has two screws.
