SETUP of "The DockSider"

Webbing Length Adjustment : continued

3 – Continued

b: Float your kayak into the rack (between the handle and the webbing) such that the cockpit

seat is centered in the cradle.

c: Lift your kayak just out of the water. If your kayak wants to lean to the right or left, check the straps

to see if there is an excessive amount of strap on the side that's leaning, if so shorten. Also you may

want to adjust the position of the kayak in the rack. If the lean is to the left, reposition the kayak

slightly to the right to have the center of gravity positioned between the straps. Reposition the kayak to

the left if the lean is to the right. By holding the handle with both hands, you can "Feel" if there is

more weight on one side versus the other. Remember this positioning for normal operation.

d: Grasp the center of the cradle or use tether strap and SLOWLY rotate the handle to the Cradle / Kayak

storage position. Rotate SLOWLY, to understand the "feel" of the lift when your kayak rotates toward

the Dock. As the Kayak starts to rotate, grasp the top of your Kayak and guide to its storage position.

On the Dockside Operation model, rotate Latch Plates (both sides) into position to maintain the

position of the Kayak and Rack.

If your Kayak in it's storage position looks like one of these illustrations:

The webbing strap length is:

Note: If the dock surface to water height is between 10 and 15 inches, the figure above on the left maybe the

best that can be achieved with the contour of your kayak.

The ideal storage position should look like:

To adjust the Length of the webbing straps:

Depress Cam Buckle lever and pull in the

direction shown

Never adjust such that the bottom of your Kayak is closer than 2 inches to the end of the cradle.

Note: the closer the kayak is to the end of the cradle, the greater the reach of operation.

Suggestion: If the Webbing length is to short, lengthen significantly.

Manually, position your kayak in the storage position at the desired angle, and then tighten

straps by shortening.
