MATERIALS/MANUFACTURING
Your pedal boat is made of Ram-X™. Its great
flexibility offers exceptional shock resistance. This
flexibility increases with heat or with the craft’s
prolonged exposure to the sun but may also slightly
warp the hull. The warping disappears when the hull
cools and never affects the craft’s performance.
Ram-X™ is a superior material that was developed and registered in 1978. It
quickly became the benchmark of quality in the industry thanks to its shock
resistance and ability to regain its initial shape following an impact. Widely
hailed by consumers, Ram-X™ is a step above other materials used in the
industry.
ABOUT YOUR PEDAL BOAT
•
There is a capacity sticker on every pedal boat. These capacity ratings
should be respected at all times for your safety and security.
• Sturdy polystyrene foam blocks are located between the hulls for optimum
safety.
• Do not remove them as they are for extra flotation. Water-resistant bushings,
made of aeronautical acetal, are completely self-lubricating and maintenance
free.
• Exclusive, very wide, five-bladed high-tech polymer paddle wheels are used for
greater traction and smooth, quiet propulsion. Clip-on, rib–reinforced, injection
molded paddles are highly resistant to impact and wear, and easily replaceable.
• Unique 90° crankshaft design makes pedaling smooth and efficient for
both riders. The crankshaft is pre-treated with a zinc phosphatization, then
electrostatically pulverized with a special polyester powder which is highly
resistant to UV rays and other weather conditions.
• The steering linkage system is located under the hull and is protected by the
two (2) pontoons. An exclusive sealed trough hull aluminum steering mechanism
allows easy maintenance if required, and avoids water infiltration.
• Battery is not included with the Rainbow E DLX pedal boat. We recommend a
deep Cycle Marine battery to fit the compartment which measures 33 x 18 x 25
cm (13 x 7 x 10 in.).
• Our pedal boats are not recommended for salt water usage.
TRANSPORTATION
•
Do not use handles to secure pedal boat for transport.
• If your pedal boat is equipped with adjustable seat backs and cooler lid(s), you
should remove them before transporting, to avoid loss or damage.
