DESCRIPTION
Endless powder runs, but no lift? With the eco-friendly Cashew as Split Kit Version, Völkl Snowboards provides the solution for virgin backcountry moments in accord with nature.You can split the Cashew longitudinally with only a few simple moves – et voila, you actually get two wide touring skis. Thanks to Voilé's Split Kit System the bindings can be set up on both halfs without any tools. Now you only have to tighten the custom-fit Völkl skins with the Skin Pin System on the "skis", extend the telescopic sticks and start hiking....Like the "normal" Cashew, the Split Kit variation features completely new core dimensions. Furthermore, there is a specific hardwood veneer inside the board that is not only more eco-friendly than fiberglass, but also provides you with extra pop and power. The only difference to the basic model is the complete carbon lower weave that makes the board a lot lighter during the hike.

1. Touring Brackets and Climbing Heels
Preparation

• Place the climbing heel brackets into the lids [1.c]; make sure the rubber bend faces up
• Put the lid on top of the pad
Mounting
• Screw touring brackets [1.a] into the appropriate inserts on the board
• Screw climbing heels (lid, brackets, and pad) into the appropriate inserts with the bend in the wire facing towards the nose [1.d]
Tips and Tricks
• For more effective and easier hiking fold up climbing heels when hiking in steep terrain. Keep heels folded down when hiking in flat terrain.

2. Pucks and Discs
Preparation
• Stretch rubber gaskets [2.a] slightly and place into bottom of the pucks [2.b]
Mounting
• Slide two pucks including discs into the H-shaped alignment guide [2.e]; make sure to use one disc each with parallel slots [2.c] and with the slots next to each other [2.d]
• Slide discs [2.c & 2.d] into the pucks [2.b] and choose desired stance angle; for angles larger than 37° use A-marking, for angles smaller than 36° use the B-marking [2.h]
• The disc with the slots next to each other [2.d] must point towards the toe edge
Tips and Tricks
• Make sure the pucks lock up with the H-shaped guides [2.g]. The slider pins must fit through the holes in the aluminium slider tracks and have some
leeway (important when assembling the board with ice and snow sticking to the slider tracks).

3. Stance
Preparation
• Place board on a flat ground (floor or table); close tip and tail clips as well as metal hooks completely [3.a]
• Choose desired stance width and place bindings onto the center axis of the board; mark center of the bindings with a pen on the boardsʻ center axis
• Make sure the disc with the slots next to each other always points towards the toe edge [3.c]
Mounting
• Position H-shaped guide with the hole in the center over the marked spot [3.b] and tighten pucks containing the discs
• Remove the H-shaped guide, slide the aluminium slider tracks completely over the pucks and push the slider pins through the holes in the
aluminium slider tracks to test the correct mounting of the pucks [3.d]
Tips and Tricks
• If the discs and your markings don't fit, swap from A to B or B to A.
• The slider pins should have some leeway and easily slide through the holes.

4. Bindings
Preparation
• Position rubber gaskets [4.a] in the center of the aluminium slider tracks [4.b]
Mounting
• Mount the bindings with a 0°/0° angle onto the slider tracks [4.e], as the feet must be aligned straight when hiking (use T-nuts provided [4.c] and your own binding screws)
• Slide the fully-assembled aluminium slider tracks including the bindings over the pucks mounted on the board; secure their position with the slider pins [4.d] pushed through the holes in the slider
Tips and Tricks
• To avoid damages to board and bindings the bindings must not protrude too much from the slider tracks [4.f].
• The binding screws must be flush with the T-nut bottom [4.g] or else the slider tracks [4.b] don't fit over the pucks. You may have to use shorter
screws or thicker washers with your bindings.

5. Hike
Mounting
• Remove slider pin and aluminium slider tracks including bindings [5.a]
• Open tip and tail clips and take board apart [5.b]
• Turn tip and tail clips as well as metal hooks inwards until they don't protrude anymore [5.b]
• Remove protective foil from skins; use Völkl Skin Pin System to attach skins at nose and apply them over the entire board length to the tail [5.c]
• Attach aluminium slider tracks including bindings to the touring brackets and secure with slider pins [5.d]
Tips and Tricks
• Before attaching the skins clean and dry board base with the micro-fleece on the skin bag provided.
• Make sure to keep the skins' glue dry and clean!
• In order to have more pressure on your edges while ascending on ice or hard-pack do not swap the board halves as the Cashew Split has a convex powder base (elevated edges).
• To protect your slider pins from getting lost you should fix them somewhere at your bindings [5.a].
