These instructions are for assembling the SPORT Silicone Foot Pockets to the SPORT Short Bifins 3 Carbon Blade.
Materials required for assembly
- Molchanovs left and right short carbon blades
- Left and right SPORT Silicone Foot Pockets
- 2 screws for each foot pocket (4 total)
- Upper and lower mounting plates
- Phillips head screwdriver
Assembly instructions
- Match the left and right foot pocket with the corresponding blade (marked on the back side of each blade).
- Insert the blade gently into the slot at the front of the foot pocket and through the side reinforcements, verifying it is inserted correctly and slides in smoothly without force.
- Align the blade by carefully adjusting its position until the blade’s mounting holes match with those on the foot pocket.
- Position the upper mounting plate over the toe section of the foot pocket, verifying it fits into the provided space.
- Begin hand-threading the screws into the holes of the lower mounting plate.
- Place the lower mounting plate over the blade, aligning it with the upper mounting plate and the holes. Tighten the screws in a clockwise direction using a Phillips head screwdriver with an even distribution of pressure.
- CAUTION: Secure the screws firmly, but avoid over-tightening which could strip the threads or damage the blade. Stop when you feel moderate resistance.
