12 INSERT KEEL EXTENSION BAR.
•
Slide the stern end of the extension bar on to the stern
keel bar (the end with two stripes of black tape). Slide the
bar apart, and attach the other end to the bow keel bar.
•
An additional “pusher”block has been installed on the
bow keel bar. If the bow and stern sections need to be
separated further to insert the keel bar, push against this
block using the lever bars.
•
Expand the extension bar using the two stern deck bars—
vertical and horizontal lever bars.
•
Push on stern deck bar ii (in direction indicated).
This forces the keel extension bar to expand.
Open till the spring button pops up in the first hole.
13 INSTALL CHINE EXTENSION BARS.
•
Note: When installing frame parts in the kayak it is easier
to be situated on the opposite side from the part you are
installing.
•
Install chine extension bars (yellow and blue) as you did the
keel extension bar. Extend till the spring button pops up in
the first hole.
•
As the frame parts are beginning to take the curve of the
skin, it may be necessary to pull tubes into alignment so
they can slide easily. Pull extension and stern frame tube
towards the center of the kayak, lining them up.
