Atomic FFG 14 binding setup

Just looking for some help with how to set this binding up if anyone has any experience

I know i should go to a shop etc - but just wanting to know for own my own knowledge the correct way it should be setup.

I got them mounted from the place i ordered the skis from, so they mounted based on just me telling them my BSL.  I'm assuming i'm going to have to make some adjustments (heel piece.? forward pressure?)

I have Marker Griffons on my other skis, and lots of threads talking about the screw at the back should be flush with the housing etc for the forward pressure to be set right....is there anything like this to go by for setting up the FFG 14?

I know that with my boot pushed into the toe piece, but not clipped in, there is a bit of a gap at the heel between the housing and boot.  Should this need screwing in to close the gap...then clip in? or..?

Any help appreciated, thanks

Just ski on them, hurt ur self and sue the fuck out of the shop that mounted them without even seeing ur boot or having you sign a release. Or just take it to a shop and avoid all of the issues.

Did you have them mounted in Europe? This is pretty common over here and they will laugh at your attempt to sue them.

Yeah, in the UK.  They do actually have a disclaimer saying it's not an official setup or whatever and that they recommend taking them to a shop. 

but decent shops that know what they're talking about are few and far between over here though

so i know there's a screw at the back which winds the heel piece closer or durther away from the heel of the boot.  At the moment, there's a good 5mm gap between boot and heel piece when boot is resting on heel piece.  When i click on, the screw on the back doesn't move.

I tried turning the screw a couple of turns to close the gap, then click in.  When i do this, the screw on the back pokes out a little.

Anyone know how this should look when setup right?

Are these the same design heels as the salomon sth?? If they are then the lower screw on the heelpiece should be flush with the back edge when your boot is clicked in ( if that makes sense!?)

Thanks for the reply.  Do you mean the back edge as in the runners that the heel piece moves along?So the screw head is in line with the back of the rail...
