Steering
Turn the handlebars to steer, just as you would on a bicycle. Turn gradually. Over-steering can
cause the EXPLORER
®
to slow down.
Different rider weights and rudder depths affect steering. The handlebars may be adjusted right or
left to compensate for these differences.
For best steering results, put the rudder In the DOWN position.
Stopping
There are three ways to stop your EXPLORER
®
:
1. Stop pedaling.
2. Pedal backwards.
3. Turn the handlebars sharply to either the right or left, so that the rudder is perpendicular
to the floats.
To stop quickly, pedal backwards and turn the handlebars sharply.
Reversing
To travel backwards, simply pedal in reverse.
The propeller drive train may come out of its frame
saddle during abrupt reversing. If this happens, pedal forward slowly until the propeller drive train
settles back into the frame saddle.
CAUTION
⇒
Do not pedal backwards into shallow water. This may damage the propeller drive train.
