Hull/Crossbar Assembly
Position the hulls parallel (2 meters apart) and check the left from
the right hull (anti-skid on the deck towards the outside). Start each
corner casting onto the pylon just to get them together. Use the soft
mallet.
1. Insert the sidebars in their
slots on the front cross-
bar. The flared portion of
the sidebar track must be
forward and facing inward.
Fit in the rear crossbar
onto the rear of the hulls
and on the other end of
each sidebar.
2. Once the frame is
assembled and fitted
onto the hulls, drive each
corner casting down onto
the pylon until the bolt
holes line up. Strike the
casting directly over the
pylon only. Use the soft
mallet only.
3. Install the four pylon bolts
and nuts, with the nuts
inboard. Tighten securely,
but do not over-torque.
