Important Warning - Aerial FreeRide Installation Manual

Advertisement

The FreeRide tower fits boat with beam width of 75-100 inches. This measurement is taken from
the mounting points, so the side to side must be greater than 75 inches in the front and back.
Do not fold the tower without having the top section bolted
Do not fold the tower by your self
Do not assemble tower on the ground and then try to put in on the boat
Do not tow tubes or other types of inflatable towables!It makes your warranty null and void.
Every tower manufacturer and boat manufacturer with an OEM tower has a warning not to do
this. Inflatables and towables like these have a completely different hydrodynamic and friction
profile compared to slick wakeboards and skis. The increased stress transfers through the tower
to the mounting feet to a boat's fiberglass hull. Avoid damaging your boat and tower; avoid
hurting or injuring your boat's occupants- just use your boat's ski tower ring.
Do not use impact drivers on any hardware - this will over-torque them and possible cause
damage
Torque set screws to 35ft-lbs
Torque shoulder bolts 50 ft-lbs
Torque tower foot all thread to 65 ft-lbs
All set screws should have red lock tite
Check the top section for burr's we are not liable for them
You might notice your tower moving side to side when you tow your Boat, but, actually, the
boat on the trailer is actually moving too.
If your fiberglass is less than ¼ you will need to purchase a backing Plate kit
Please leave foam wrap on until finished installing the tower
If you have any question during the install please contact Aerial Wakeboarding
CLEANING
Wash with soap and clean water
Use clean, soft micro fiber cloths to avoid scratching
Mothers Mag & Aluminum polish will restore to original finish

IMPORTANT WARNING

BE CAREFUL when assembling this product! We CANNOT be liable for any burring or scratching
that may occur when sliding sections in and out of each other. Before sliding on the top cross
section tubes, check the inside of the tube opening. If you find a rough edge, we recommend
filing and sanding them down smooth. Again, the point to to avoid scratching the nice polished
finish of the tubes you're sliding them over.
