Operating instructions for Pico rudder assembly Sept 2007
The rudder assembly has a kick – up system so that if you run aground, the rudder
will come up automatically. This can be adjusted by re-positioning the plastic
buffer under the tiller. When the rudder blade is fully down the tiller should locate
over the capstone on the stock. If the rudder blade can be moved backwards from
the tip more than 3.0mm then the plastic buffer under the tiller should be moved
forward to remove the slack. The buffer is adjusted by loosening the Allen screws
with the Allen key provided, moving the buffer and re-tightening the screws.
• To put the rudder down; lift the tiller 2cm and simultaneously push the tiller
aft (Backwards) until the plastic buffer under the tiller engages over the
capstone.
• To lift the rudder; Lift the tiller 2 cm to disengage it from the capstone and
simultaneously pull the tiller forwards.
