Assembly manual - Pedals
Illustration Step Description
Pedal adjustment system
The Hobie Quest is equipped with a unique foot pedal system that allows for a wide variety of adjustments for different
sized paddlers. The black strips on the kayak only allow the pedals to be released when they are twisted at a certain angle.
1
Pedal adjustment:
Twist the pedal away/opposite you so that it is flat.
2
Lift the pedal out of the notch and move to the desired position.
3
Twist the pedal flat to work the knobs on the sides of the pedal
into the knotch. The Bungee cord will automatically twist the
pedal upright and lock it into position.
Note: If you purchased your Quest with the rudder package
installed, the steering line tension will be part of the adjustability of the pedals. Refer to the section of the adjustment of the
steering lines for further details
