NOTE: The tension on the draw latch system is adjustable. Do not over-tension the latches to the point that you are forcing
the latches closed or you can damage the system. Please take some time to tune-in the proper amount of tension required to
stabilize movement within the Helix PD system during pedaling.
NOTE: Ensure that your kayak is in a sufficient depth of water to accommodate the full depth of a deployed Helix PD (approx. 18").
To raise the Helix PD (E) to the zero draft position, align the crank arms (F) to a vertical position so that the right crank arm (F)
and pedal (H) is positioned between the marks on the Helix PD's (E) head unit. This will align the propeller to a vertical position
so that the unit can be raised through the scupper. To raise the Helix PD (E), depress and hold the release pedal and the Helix PD (E)
mast will raise automatically to the zero draft position.
Caution: Keep clear of the scupper when releasing the Helix PD (E) mast to zero draft to avoid possible injuries.
BOOM!
Tip: The speed that the Helix PD unit mast raises can be controlled by the tighten or loosening the knobs on the sides of the
upper housing unit.
