Electric Motor Prop
When operating the boat at the #5 speed setting with only one person some prop noise may be experienced. This noise is created
by minor ventilation of the prop and will not have a significant detrimental affect on performance nor will it harm the motor. Boat
speed can be further enhanced by pedaling the boat in conjunction with the motor. CAUTION: Do not use the electric motor
when contact with swimmers or bystanders could occur. Severe injury could result from contact with the spinning prop.
Children operating the boat should be closely supervised by an adult.
TRANSPORTING YOUR PEDAL BOAT
Your pedal boat has a covered compartment in the rear. Always face the stern (rear) of the boat towards the direction of travel to
prevent the wind from tearing the compartment lid off. If this happens you can contact KL Industries for replacement.
Do not transport the Water Wheeler ASL Electric with the battery installed. Bouncing and jarring of the battery during transport
could crack the battery compartment.
Do not transport with the adjustable seat backs in place. They may bounce out.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
With minimal care and maintenance, your boat has been designed to provide you with many years of enjoyment.
• Drain any water accumulated between deck and hull.
• Your pedal boat can be cleaned with warm water and any standard detergents. More difficult stains, such as brackish watermarks
may be cleaned with a petroleum based cleaner. Read the manufacturers’ instructions carefully before using any cleaner.
• If your boat is used in salt-water environments it is suggested that the boat and components be rinsed thoroughly with fresh water
after each use. See optional accessories for salt-water upgrade.
• Your pedal boat comes standard with our exclusive oil impregnated bronze bushings. They are commercial quality and don’t need
frequent lubricating. After the first few uses you may see a black watermark down the inside of your boat. This is simply the paint
on the crank inside the bushing wearing off. This is normal and can be cleaned as above.
• Use some care when beaching the boat. Avoid dragging it across asphalt, concrete or sharp rocks to prevent excessive wear and
abrasion to the hull bottom.
• Polyethylene is a somewhat flexible material with some memory. This means it has a tendency to return to its’ original molded
shape if distorted. If this occurs follow these steps:
