3.1
Connection to the board
The Levitaz Ventus hydrofoil can be used with boards that have a tuttle box. The tuttle
box is not standardized. Please check always dimensions. See fig. 3.2.
The connection bolts between the hydrofoil and the board are not delivered by Levitaz.
Please make sure to use stainless M6 bolts provided with a minimum strength class 70.
1.
Insert the mast into the tuttle box of the
board. Note that the inclined surfaces
from the mast and the tuttle box fit
together and are clean of any objects like
dirt or sand prior to the assembly.
2.
Before proceeding, apply a small amount
of the Loctite grease provided in the Tool
kit onto the threads and undersides of the
heads on the two screws (Note: screws
are not included)
3.
Connect the mast with suitable M6 bolts
from the deck side. Due to the tight fit
between the board tuttle box and the mast,
it is very important that you carefully
tighten the greased screws evenly
(matching turns of each screw at a time).
If you tighten one screw significantly more
than the other, the board box could locate
unevenly and damage the mast. Do not
over torque the bolts. The recommended
tightening torque is 9 ±1 Nm. Keep the
material of the board in mind.
