4.3 Installing the Crank Arms to the Helix PD
Place the Helix PD (E) on a flat work surface with the propeller side facing upwards. Locate the right crank arm (F). It is marked
with an "R" on the back side of the crank arm, below the hole for the pedal (H) spindle. Place the right crank arm (F) over the
right crank arm shaft of the Helix PD (E) head unit. The crank arm (F) should be parallel with the propeller and the shaft of the
Helix PD (E) and extending forward past the Helix PD head unit. Secure with a crank arm bolt (G). Use an 8 mm Allen wrench
tighten the crank arm bolt (G) and crank arm (F) to the Helix PD (E).
Repeat process with the left crank arm (F). The crank arm (F) should be parallel with the propeller and the shaft of the Helix
PD (E) and extending back towards the Helix PD propeller.
Note: It is imperative the propeller and the crank arms are aligned properly for the drive unit to be removed from the kayak
using the prop alignment marks on the drive unit head.
4.4 Installing the Pedals to the Crank Arms
Locate the right pedal (H). It is identified by a score line mark on the threaded pedal (H) mounting spindle (Score line is just
below the threading).
Thread the pedal (H) mounting spindle into the crank arm (F). While holding the opposite crank arm in place to generate
resistance, tighten the pedal (H) to the crank arm (F) with a 15 mm open end or adjustable wrench.
