(6) Temporary Assemble

• Put your SRD Footstretcher on the boat by using tools the boat manufacturer recommends.

• CAUTION: Do not too much loosen the

bolts on the Binding Units shown on

procedure

(5)-1, othe

rwise the unit might

slide down on the Frame Unit and result in damaging the hull.

！

CAUTION:

DO NOT let the Binding Units slide down

(7) Adjusting the Footstretcher Angle

• Adjust the angle of SRD

Footstretcher system by sliding the

upper pipe up and down.

• The standard setting of the angle is 50 degrees up from horizontal.

• You can check it by applying the angle meter on the Frame Unit.

50°

*All the bolts on Footstretcher system has to be fastened when you try to check the precise angle, otherwise the

9

measurements will be inaccurate

.

ROWING

(8) Checking the Space

• Allow 1CM space between the edge of the SRD Footstretcher system and the inside of the hull. It is easier to check whether the s

p

ace is enough or not by moving a small

pgyg

stick such as a pencil around the Footstretcher.

• CAUTION: To avoid the damage to the hull,

this space must be there. The Footstretcher

system sags slightly when strong force is applied on it.

• If the lower end of the Frame Units are hitting the hull, change the position of the lower pipe fitting cramps.

e. You can set the stance width by moving Frame Unit sideways.

• You should slide the binding units up and down on

the Frame Unit to have the access to those bolts

. CAUTION: Do not loosen those bolts too much, otherwise the binding unit may slide down and hit the hull to result in the serious damage to the hull.

• When you try to make the stance wider, go through

yy ,g g

procedure (8)again to make sure there is the enough space.

• If you are setting SRD Footstretcher on the single

scull, we recommend to have the stance as wide as

the space against the hull allows

(10) Fixing the Frame Unit

• Fasten all the bolts to hold the upper and lower pipes firmly.

• With this operation you will completely set the angle of the SRD Footstretcher System. So check the Footstrecher angle again as shown at procedure (7) ．

12

ROWING

(11) Adjusting the Height of the Binding Units

• Slide the Binding Units on the Frame Units to set the height.

•

The height of th

e center of the Virtual Pivot axis(X) should be 0-3CM lower than the height of the seat. The lowest point of the top surface ,usually edge of the holes (X), should

b

e measured to check the height of the seat.

13

ROWING

(12) Adjusting the position of the SRD Footstretcher System

• Loosen the 3 mounting bolts and adjust the position of the Footstretcher System by sliding forward and backward on the

gear rails

.

(12) -1/2/3 How you can measure the position

(12)-１

(12)-２ (12)-３

Step (12)-1：Attach the long straight aluminum rectangle pipe on the work face of the oarlock, and make it orthogonal to the center line (or keel line) of the boat.

Step (12)-2：Hang the string on the pipe. This string represents the horizontal position of the work face

proj

ected on the center line.

pj

Step (12)-3：Put a tape measure or a ruler horizontally, and parallel to the center line. Measure the distance from the work face

p

osition shown in (12)-2 (I) to the

p()

(

)

center of the axis of Virtual Pivot (X).

*The positioning of the root of the thumbs on soles

should be the same in both conventional

Footstretcher and the SRD System.

*The Boat should be laid on the slings in completely

15

horizontal way

.

ROWING

(13) Setting it right

• To set Footstretchers on appropriate pos

iti

on, the easiest way is to get on the

boat. Stop at the finish position.

• This picture shows an example of a sculling

boat, and the space between both oar

handle should be 1-2 fists.

• If this space is too much open, move the Footstretcher system toward the stern. If

too narrow, toward the bow

.

ROWING

(14) Adjusting the Heel Plates

• Loosen the bolt and slide the Heel Plates up and down on the Binding Unit.

• This part is set to support the heel of the

shoes. Readjust to determine the best

position.

17

ROWING

(15) Adjusting the Step-in Position

• You can adjust the range of swinging motion by the adjustment bolt which locates on the reverse side of the swing

arm

.

18

ROWING

(16) Adjusting the Binding Tension

•

You can adjust the Binding Tension by the

adjustment bolt which is shown with the orange arrow.

19

ROWING

(17) Installing the Cleats

• Open the uppers of the shoes and put the sockliners off.

•

• Put the sockliners into the shoes.

• Put the cleat, the washer, and the bolts on the bottom of the shoes.

Set the cleat nut on the holes

provided on the SRD shoes.

Th

en tighten the bolts.

20

ROWING

(18) Adjusting the position of the Cleats

• You can adjust the position

of the Cleats by sliding along

the holes of the Cleats, and the shoes.

21

ROWING

(18) Now you are ready

• Now your SRD Footstretcher system is ready to go.

• When you get on the boat, hook the front of the cleat on the binding first ( ) , then press down on the heel plate(↓).

•

To release, lift the heels up or twist the feet

.

• For your safety, practice again and again to engage and to release.

• You can readjust the system once in a while, and enjoy the benefit of the SRD Footstretcher system.

NOTE

• The Systems photographed in this document are all prototypes, so the look and the spec is subject to be changed without any notice.

• Use this document just as a reference when the SRD System is newly introduced. For your safety, read carefully the technical service instruction attached with the products.
