MAKO SLINGSHOT OPERATORS GUIDE
ADJUSTING THE GRAB LINE
The grab line is attached to the nose of your jetboard
and runs through the snorkel up to the hand control.
The grab line provides balance and stability, especially
when carrying out a heel-side carving turn, as well as
avoiding putting undue tension on the throttle cable.
To fine-tune your riding position, the grab line can be
shortened or lengthened by moving the bowline knot
that connects the grab line to the v-cord on the hand
control.
1. Untie the bowline knot that secures the grab
line to the hand control v-cord. Adjust the grab
line length according to your measurements
and preferred riding position.
2. Re-attach the grab line using a bowline knot -
form two loops of equal length in the grab line.
Thread the tail of the grab line through the hand
control v-cord. Thread the tail back under the
hole created by the two loops. Move the tail
from the back side of the loops to the front.
Tuck the grab line behind the main line. Thread
the tail back through the hole created by the
two loops. Move the tail from the front side of
the loops to the back.
TO HELP NEW RIDERS LEARN HOW TO
TRANSITION TO A STANDING POSITION, AND
TO INCREASE THE ENJOYMENT OF USING YOUR
JETBOARD, WE RECOMMEND THAT THE GRAB LINE IS
SET SHORTER THAN NORMAL RIDING PREFERENCE.
AS A GOOD STARTING POINT, SET THE GRAB LINE TO A
TOTAL LENGTH OF 500MM.
