Your S1 is engineered with premium stainless steel and anodized aluminum components. It should be stored out of adverse
weather conditions, extreme temperatures, and prolonged sunlight.
Like any water craft, it is important that you care for your S1 with regular maintenance. We recommend always rinsing o your
S1 with fresh water after use.
The Gates Carbon Belt does not require lubrication. Your drive train should only be cleaned with fresh water.
Steering cables will stretch, this is normal. Tensioning will be neccesarry after the rst few rides. Tension can be checked by
squeezing the two cables together. If you can easily pinch the cables together and touch, tension is too low. Located on the rear
of the frame, and on the back of the gearbox are cable tension adjuster screws. They can be rotated counter clockwise by hand,
or with a 9mm wrench to increase tension. Tighten one side, then the other equally, unless you are trying to slightly adjust the
steering alignment.
Replace your steering cables at least twice a year, or after 50 hrs use. Contact Schiller Support for replacement parts
The Outdrive to gearbox steering interface does require periodic lubrication. To do this remove the Outdrive, and wipe clean
inside the Outdrive top tting along with the corresponding male portion of the gearbox using a clean rag. Apply a thin layer of
water proof grease only to the inside of the Outdrive top. This will ensure smooth steering when assembled. Never allow sand
to get onto this interface when assembling the bike. If it ever does clean and re-grease.
Pontoon’s should be rinsed with fresh water and stored out of direct sunlight. In the unlikely event a pontoon is punctured by a
sharp object you can repair with a simple patch. You should never ride your bike if you suspect that your pontoons are not hold-
ing air. For your convenience the S1 ships with a puncture repair kit. Sharp objects can include beach shells, beach glass, and
even barnicles.
