Installation:
1. Apply a small amount of Tef-gel or silicone grease to the thread of the Jet module.
2. Place the Wedge Cover into position
3. Hold the Wedge Cover in place (this avoids any damage or scratching of the carbon eFoil during the installation process.
4. Tighten the Jet module anti clockwise onto the motor of the Carbon eFoil. (Note: Reverse Thread)
5. Screw the Jet into position until there is no gap between the Jet, Wedge Cover and the Fuselage.
6. At any stage if you feel resistance unthread the Jet module half to a full turn clockwise and refit the module.
Removal:
1. Hold the Wedge Cover tight and into position (this avoids any damage or scratching of the Carbon eFoil. During the removal process
2. Unscrew the Jet module by rotating clockwise.
3. Sometime the Jet module may be hard to remove, in cases like this please utilise a rubber wrench strap or gently tap on the flukes of the Jet with a soft head hammer. Ensure if using a soft head hammer you lightly tap in a clockwise direction and provide extremem care not to damage any anodising of the Jet hub.
4. Once the Jet is removed the Wedge Cover can also be removed.
Nozzle Removal and Installation:
1. To remove the nozzle. Hold the hub of the bearing with one hand and spin the nozzle clockwise to loosen. This can all be done while the Jet is connected. Be careful not to loosen the Jet module in the process.
2. Once removed you can clear the impeller of any seaweed or obstruction that is entered. PLEASE NOTE the impeller is very sharp gloves or a strong rag is recommended. This will also allow you to rotate the impeller if the pinion is getting caught in the installation period of the Jet module.
3. Please note that occasionally after riding the nozzle can get extremely tight, in which case you first need to completely remove the jet. Then using a soft head hammer hold the nozzle in one hand as you lightly tap the flukes of the Jet hub to the left to free the nozzle.
4. Reinstall the nozzle by first silicone greasing the thread and then rotating clockwise onto the threads of the jet hub. Do not over tighten as the nozzle will be hard to remove next time.
