This section of the owner’s manual describes
the steps involved in disassembly of
the entire unit crankshaft assembly and its
components. Please note that disassembly
is not required for the replacement of
pedal pads or paddle blades. To remove the
crankshaft assembley, use a ¾” socket or a
¾” wrench, to remove the nut from one side
of the crankshaft rod.
Now remove the crankshaft and drive adapter,
which slide out together. From the other
side pull out the other crankshaft and drive
adapter along with the crankshaft rod.
To replace the Delrin bushing assemblies
simply unscrew the back nuts located in the
paddle wheel cavity and insert new parts.
These parts are the most likely to wear and
should be inspected periodically. These
bushings should be replaced if worn, in order
to prevent damage to the pedal boat
hull. Inspect and replace every season as
required.
To reinstall the drive adapter, reverse the
steps above, inserting the crankshaft and
crankshaft rod through the paddle hub
(make sure that paddle blades are facing
their original direction). Refer to figure D5
for correct paddle blade installation. Reinstall
the second crankshaft. Note that the drive
adapter has a single large male key that
is designed to fit into the paddle hub in one
unique location. You must locate this single
large key correctly when installing the drive
adapter in the paddle hub.
