SlIDElOCk FOOTBrACES:
Adjust by pulling up on the tabs closest to your knees.
When you find a comfortable position, let the tabs
drop back down into place to lock in that position.
USING THE rUDDEr SySTEm:
Some kayaks come with an optional factory rudder
system included. After market rudder systems are
also available. Please contact your local dealer for
any questions regarding setup or installation, or visit
www.perceptionkayaks.com.
Once your rudder is installed, use the lift line (located
on the right side of the boat, towards the rear of the
cockpit) to drop the rudder into the water by pulling
it forward.
To operate the rudder, use the footbrace pedals. To
maintain a straight position, both pedals should be
even with each other. To steer the kayak right, push
the right pedal away from you. To steer the kayak left,
push the left pedal away from you. Allow the pedal
that is not in use to automatically move towards you
when the other pedal is pushed.
