To keep your oars in good condition, separate the two sections and hose off with
fresh water after use. ipe with a cloth to remove salt, sand or dirt. If these two part
sculling oars are kept conjoined, any salt water, grit or sand that is left in the joint or
around the push button can cause sticking and eventually lead to permanent fusing of
the two sections completely. They would then no longer come apart.
Spray the metal parts with a silicon-based spray occasionally to keep them from
oxidi ing. Store oars out of direct sunlight to reduce UV exposure. ax the carbon

plastic collar and using a slot screwdriver tightening them securely in place.
Your oars come with a red stripe and a green stripe at the base of the shaft near the
blade and a red stripe above the button on the second half of the shaft to match the
red striped oar blade section. ach oar fits its own individual shaft, so be sure to set
them up with red-to-red and green-to-green matched. To separate the shaft push
