F-One EAGLE - Care and Maintenance

FRANÇAISENGLISH
 HANDLING ON SHORE
When left on the ground the foil should always be laid on its side otherwise it might tip over.Never leave the foil
(assembled with the board) standing up or upside down. It can easily fall on its side and get damaged.
 HANDLINGIN THE WATER
When heading for the water, the foil and board should always be carried on its side with the board held under
your arm or by the handle with your other hand holding directly the foil if necessary.
• Advance through the water keeping the board under the arm (board lying on its side).
• Go deeper into the water until reaching a water patch deep enough for the size of the foil.
Warning: a safety margin is required as the board and foil will sink to some degree when the rider gets
onto the board.
• When heading back to the shore, it is necessary to get down from the board at the same distance from
the shore that had been required to start safely. During these phases, the board and foil should remain
on their side.
WITH ITS ADDED DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT, THE FOIL SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGES THE BE-
HAVIOR OF THE BOARD BOTH ON SHORE AND IN THE WATER.
USING THE FOIL

SPARE PARTS
GUARANTEE
The spare parts required for the correct use of our products are available from F-ONE or your local dealer. These parts
are usually available for 3 years following the 1st introduction of the product on the market. Shorter or longer delays
can apply depending on the product. For any information, contact your dealer. Carefully write down your product serial
number. I will come handy to identify the product, for after-sale issues or in case your gear gets stolen.
• Take appart the front wing, fuselage
and other parts from the mast.
• Clean and rinse all the parts of the foil
before storing them.
• Protect the parts by storing them in their
original packaging or using another appropriate
protection.
Make sure the surface of the blades remain smooth and
clean. The foil works using a dynamic equilibrium and
the flow around the wings can be very sensible to local
roughness. Sudden stalling can happen if the surface
condition of the several parts is compromised. Stalling
the foil can unsettle the rider and result in abrupt falls.
If local bumps or troughs appear following an impact, fill
with epoxy resin or primer and sand until the local surface
is smooth and clean again. It is strongly recommended to
let a professional handle these kinds of repairs.
