Bases
The ONE-DESIGN Base unit, including the universal tendon joint, is subject to extreme loads and forces and
WARNING
should be regularly checked and replaced if it shows any signs of wear and tear. The universal tendon joint has a limited
approximate "lifetime" of up to 120 hours and should be automatically replaced after this time. Furthermore, always check
that the ONE-DESIGN Base is fully inserted into the mast track of the board, and the locking mechanism is fully closed,
before going out onto the water.
The following components of the ONE-DESIGN base should be checked regularly for any signs of wear & tear:
Tendon
-
The Tendon Joint on all ONE-DESIGN base units should be free of any cracks or blemishes in the rubber
material. The easiest way to confirm this, is to bend the joint 90
mid-point of the joint. If any cracks appear, the joint should be replaced immediately.
Tendon Holder
-
The two upper & lower drift pins holding the tendon into the tendon holder should be tight. The tightness of
these pins can be confirmed with an Allen key.
Base Plate
-
The base plate should be flush with the bottom of the Tendon Holder. If there is any play in this part, the inside
bolt will need to be tightened.
MXT Powerbases – Adapter C Cup
-
The Adapter C cup should be flush with the top of the upper tendon holder. If there is looseness between
these two parts, the inside nut will need to be tightened.
UXT Powerbases – U-Pin
-
The U-Pin should be flush with the upper tendon holder and not have any play.
If any of your NeilPryde ONE-DESIGN products are showing any of the above signs of wear & tear, please contact
your local NeilPryde ONE-DESIGN vendor for advice as soon as possible. A list of NeilPryde ONE-DESIGN
vendors is available on the NeilPryde Website: www.neilpryde.com
