MAKO SLINGSHOT OPERATORS GUIDE
MAKO OPERATOR’S GUIDE - GETTING STARTED
SETUP YOUR BOARD
The following step-by-step instructions
will help you configure and prepare your
jetboard, as well as determine whether
you favour a regular or goofy stance.
The Mako Slingshot uses a Thruster fin setup and
is supplied with three fins which are removed for
transport to avoid damage.
As standard, your jetboard uses the FCS II detachable
fin system to take the time and hassle out of fitting
your fins, while eliminating the need for tools, screws,
and hex keys. The fins can be easily installed and
removed in seconds.
It is recommend to use all three fins when operating
the jetboard to ensure maximum control and stability
of your Mako.
FITTING THE FCS SIDE FINS
1. Orientate your jetboard so that the underside is
facing upward. Ensure the board is placed on a
stable surface, such as the floor using a towel
or rug to protect the upper side of the jetboard.
1.
Check both fin boxes for obstructions and clean
any debris, such as sand, from inside the slots.
Check both side fins are free from damage.
2.
Take one of the side fins and ensure the flat
side of the foil is orientated towards the centre
of the jetboard, with the fin rake sweeping
toward the rear of the board.
3.
Place the front tab on the fin base inside the
front slot of the fin box, so that the hook meets
the horizontal bar inside the slot. Then, lower
the rear tab into the rear slot. The fin locks into
place using a combination of downward and
lateral force. You will hear an audible click.
4.
To remove, brace the front of the fin at its base
and stablise the jetboard with your forearm.
Grip the fin from the top with your other
hand and pull the fin towards the nose of the
jetboard, with an upwards force, to release the
fin from the box. Use a towel to protect your
hand if needed.
FITTING THE FCS CENTRE FIN
To complete the thruster setup, your Mako Slingshot
uses a larger centre fin to aid directional stability and
control through foot-steering.
TOOLS REQUIRED : 3mm Allen Key
1. Orientate the jetboard so that the underside is
facing upward. Ensure the board is placed on a
stable surface, such as the floor using a towel
or rug to protect the upper side of the jetboard.
2.
Check the ride plate fin box for obstructions and
clean any debris, such as sand, from inside the
slot. Make certain the fin is free from damage
and ensure the fin rake is sweeping toward the
rear of the board.
