The cam bolt might drop down on its own, but if it does
not, the footbrace will not move. When you push down
on the cam, you can feel it drop and you can see that the
top of the cam lever should be sitting on the black plastic
track when disengaged.
Once the 3 cams are loose, grab the middle of the
footbrace and push down a little before sliding the
footbrace fore & aft. This helps to keep the system
aligned and moving smoothly on the tracks. If you lift up,
the teeth may engage and stop movement.
When closing the cam, align the tube end with the indexed
lines on the plastic track, which will align the teeth on the
cam bolt and the teeth on the plastic track. It should not
be hard to close the cam, so if it is hard, then the
alignment is probably off a little. Do not force the cam
closed, or you could break it. Only moderate pressure with
your thumb is needed.
Finally, close the Aluminum cam on the keel track.
A single strap system is also made for our footboards and
can be purchased for retro-fitting. Simply remove the
existing double straps from the footboard and then Velcro
the single strap onto the back side of the footboard and
feed the ends to the front. The length adjustment is a
cross-over style and will be shipped with a new longer
single neoprene foot pad.
Footbrace Troubleshooting:
If the center cam is too loose or too tight, you will need to adjust the cam bolt to get proper tension.
With a short Philips head screw driver, loosen the brass set screw on the side of the aluminum cam. This
will free the cam bolt to rotate, which you can do with a flat head screw driver on the top of the bolt. If
you twist clockwise, the bolt will lengthen, thus making it looser, where counter-clockwise rotation will
shorten the bolt, thus tightening the cam. Check cam for proper tension and then re-tighten the brass set
screw to keep the cam bolt from rotating.
If you are having trouble moving the footbrace fore and aft, make sure that the bolts are fully pushed
down, or else the teeth on the bolts will catch inside the track inhibiting movement. A little downward
pressure on the footbrace while moving it also helps.
If the footbrace is crooked from side to side, this can also inhibit movement. Try to line up the sides to
the same number and then try again to move the footbrace.
