YOUR POWER PEDESTALS

A " p ower pedestal" is a nitrogen gas filled steel cylinder that is used
to raise and lower the fishing seats mounted on the fo r ward and aft
casting platfo rm s. This enables you to select the proper seat height fo r
c o m fo rt in any fishing situation. Pushing the empty seats all the way
d own helps to provide an unobstructed viewing area around the boat
when underway.
To raise the seat, simply lift your weight slightly off the seat while
raising the seat actuating lever simu l t a n e o u s l y. To lower the seat, ke e p
your weight on the seat and lift the lever up.
These pedestals are constructed to the highest standard of
wo rkmanship and will give years of trouble-free serv i c e. A minimu m
amount of care will insure proper opera t i o n . Pe riodically apply a light
weight oil (like household "3 -in-1" oil) to the power unit piston. Ta ke care
not to over stress the pedestal by placing ex c e s s i ve strain on the seat
and power unit while it is extended into the full up position. A l ways lowe r
the seat to the full down position when the boat is underway. We
recommend that the seat and pedestal be removed from the front
casting deck and remounted into the special base mounted in the front
of the deck floor when ru n n i n g . Should your boat not have the additional
b a s e, the front fishing seat should be removed and securely placed in
the floor of the boat.
Your power pedestals are wa r ranted for three years against defe c t s
in materials and wo rk m a n s h i p. Should a pedestal fail, return the unit to
