PROTECTIVE FILM ON PYRAMID
The protective film protects the pyramid from scratching. Remove the
film when the fitting is complete.
SPECTRA SOCK
To protect the cover and avoid noise a Spectra sock is fitted over the foot
module before installing the cover. The sock should be loose in the heel
area.
SHOE HORN (Figure 3)
When removing and installing the cover use shoehorn to avoid damage
to foot or cover.
MAINTAINANCE & CLEANING
Note: The device should always be used with spectra socks and foot
covers to minimize dust and dirt from entering between carbon blades. It
is important to fix the spectra sock around pyramid location in order to
prevent noise issues coming from sand entering between the plates.
The device is weather-proof but not resistant to corrosion. Therefore, the
device should not come into contact with salt water or clorinated water.
The device is not designed to be used under extreme conditions like
diving or jumping into water. If for some reason the foot components get
wet parts should be dried with a lint free cloth. Should the device come
into contact with salt water, chlorinated water, dust or dirt it must be
rinsed with fresh water immediately.
DEBRIS BETWEEN BLADES
Noise could occur if sand or debris are present in between the upper and
lower blades, same could happen between heel plate and lower blade.
Use compressed air to remove debris in between the carbon parts.
WEATHERPROOF
A weatherproof device allows use in a wet and/or humid environment
but does not allow submersion. Fresh water splashing against the
enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effect. Dry thoroughly
after contact with fresh water. Fresh water: Includes tap water. Excludes
salt and chlorinated water.
LIABILITY
The manufacturer recommends using the device only under the specified
conditions and for the intended purposes. The device must be
maintained according to the instructions for use. The manufacturer is
not liable for damage caused by component combinations that were not
authorized by the manufacturer.
