Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the paddle is straightforward: unlock the cam lever on the shaft, pull the handle section to your preferred height, and snap the lever back into place. Ensure the locking mechanism is firm but not forced.
For maintenance, follow these steps to prolong the life of your equipment:
- Freshwater Rinse: After using the paddle in saltwater, always rinse the entire assembly with fresh water to prevent salt crystallization.
- Clean the Cam: Regularly remove the adjustment section and rinse it to ensure no sand or grit remains inside the shaft, which can damage the locking mechanism.
- Dry Storage: Store the paddle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain the integrity of the nylon and glass-fibre materials.
- Inspect Joints: Periodically check that all three segments fit snugly without excessive rattling.
