INSTALLING THE FREEDOM DRIVE • Make sure the pedal posts are seated in the middle adjustment position while inserting into the hull. Rear Front • Lower the Freedom Drive into opening of the hull near your footbraces. Use the alignment pin on each side to push the drive into the locks. The Drive lock will cover the alignment pin if done correctly. - Page 7 • To adjust the Freedom Drive for different height users: Squeeze the pedal adjustment bracket located on the pedal post. While squeezing bracket, move the pedal post to a more comfortable position. Remember that your legs should not fully extend as this can cause your knees to lock. Make sure the metal pin has correctly seated in the adjustment hole for each pedal post.

Correct Storing your kayak upside down on crossbars or hanging from wide strapping are two acceptable ways to keep your kayak stored. -
Page 10: Transportation
• Always remove all water from your kayak before storing. • Remove the Freedom Drive and rinse well with freshwater • Do not leave tie-down straps tight over a long period of time as they will dent your kayak • Storing in non-recommended configurations can result in hull damage and void your warranty. - Page 11 TRANSPORTATION Our recommendation for the best way to transport your kayak is to purchase a roof rack or trailer. Using proper cradles that support the hull, the boat can be transported deck side up. Straps can then be laid across the kayak and tied to your vehicles rack bars.
