Kayak Pedal Drive Instructions
1. This is NOT a racing kayak.
- Do NOT apply excessive pressure on the pedals to increase speed. Doing so may damage the chains and cables.
- Average kayak speed is 3-4 mph. Overloading with powerful pedal strokes may cause damage, which is not covered by warranty.
2. Pedal Technique:
- Avoid pushing the pedals too fast. Apply steady, light pressure for smooth forward movement.
- A stroke every 2 seconds is sufficient to propel the kayak efficiently.
- Shorter strokes, instead of full-range ones, can also maintain speed.
3. Pedal Drive Locking:
- Ensure the black dot on the pedal well faces backward (towards you). If it's not aligned, deflate the floor section, rotate the rotomolded well part 180 degrees, and re-inflate to fix the unlocking issue.
4. Shallow Water Warning:
- When in shallow waters, prevent the pedal drive fins from hitting the bottom by moving the pedals apart to flatten the fins against the kayak bottom.
5. Carry a Paddle:
- Always bring a paddle as a backup in case of pedal drive issues.
6. Pedal Drive Alignment:
- Ensure the rotomolded insert is aligned straight. Slight movement of the locks during pedaling is normal due to the flexibility of the insert.
7. Safety Gear:
- Always wear a Personal Flotation Device (PFD), carry a whistle and communication device, and inform someone of your trip plans.
8. Spare Parts:
- Contact us if you need spare parts. We're happy to assist!
FAQ:
Question: Can this kayak be used for fishing, how do I add rod holders?
Answer: The kayak comes with two pre-installed accessory gear track mounts, making it easy to attach fishing rod holders, fish finders, and other equipment. Most YakAttack, Railblaza, or Ram accessories are compatible with these mounts. If needed, Scotty glue-on fishing rod holders can also be attached to the top of the tubes or floor. A milk crate with fishing rod holders can be placed on the floor and secured with bungee cords or tie-downs. The setup options are endless for those with creativity and handy skills.
Question: How to replace broken chain?
Answer: We can provide replacement chain if needed. You will need needle nose pliers and painters tape. Please follow easy direction in this YouTube video. No need to fully remove fin, just pull it down slightly, to feed chain into opening.
