USING THE CONCEPT2 PITCH CHECK

Procedure continued

MEASURING PITCH - SMOOTHIE 2, 87 AND MACON

BLADES (See below for SMOOTHIE 1)

a. Place the oar on the pitch check with the blade face

down on the pitching head. The tip of the blade must

contact the stop, and the shaft must be parallel to the

rail. An easy way to check this is to sight down the shaft

from the handle end and note that the stop for the tip

of the blade is aligned with the shaft. See photo E.

b. Place the level across the wear surfaces of the sleeve.

If using a digital level you can read the pitch of the oar

directly from the level. If you have a bubble level and

the bubble is centered, the pitch of the oar is zero. If the

bubble is not centered, you can measure the pitch more

accurately by placing angled wedges under the level until

the level reads as close to the center as possible. The

pitch is then the angle of that wedge. Angled wedges are

available seperately from Concept2.

Note: We have not yet found a digital level that we can

recommend with confidence. If you do use a digital level,

check it frequently as they can give erroneous readings,

settle slowly, and may not be accurate at other than

0-degrees.

MEASURING PITCH - SMOOTHIE 1

To pitch a SMOOTHIE blade first place the SMOOTHIE

pitch plate on the head of the pitch check as shown. The

port or starboard indicator on the plate should face the

handle of the oar. Proceed as above for SMOOTHIE 2, 87

and MACON blade.

ADJUSTING PITCH

If the pitch is off by less than a degree from the desired

value, you can correct the pitch by shaving or sanding

material from the high side of the wear surface on the

sleeve. See photo G. A cabinet scraper works well for this.

If the pitch is off by more than a degree from the desired

value, you will probably need to replace the sleeve and the

glue that bonds the sleeve to the shaft. See the separate

instructions for replacing sleeves.
