Getting Started
Once you have arrived at the water and have unloaded your EXPLORER
®
:
Step 1
Make sure the propeller drive train is in the UP position.
Step 2
Make sure the rudder is in the UP position.
Step 3
Adjust the seat to the proper height.
Step 4
Push the EXPLORER
®
onto the water.
Step 5
Board the EXPLORER
®
.
Step between the cross tubes of the float.
Step 6
Rotate the propeller drive train to its DOWN position once the water is deep enough to
prevent the drive train from striking the bottom.
Make sure the propeller drive train is
securely in its frame saddle.
Step 7
Move the rudder to the DOWN position, for the best steering results.
Step 8
Begin pedaling.
You can also pedal your EXPLORER

in reverse.
Coming Back to Shore
CAUTION
⇒
If possible, choose a soft or sandy shore. If you come to a shore where there are rocks
or concrete, you may damage the EXPLORER
®
.
When you are ready to go back to the shore and take your EXPLORER
®
out of the water:
Step 1
Make sure the rudder is in the UP position.
Step 2
Pedal towards the shore, then stop pedaling and coast in.
When the propeller drive
train touches bottom, it will simply nudge back and up on its own.
CAUTION
⇒
Do not pedal backwards in shallow water. This may damage the propeller drive train.
Step 3
Rotate the propeller drive train to its UP position.
