the platform to fold down, reducing the
amount of room required for storage.
To determine whether the boat is so
equipped, look beneath the platform and
see if there is a bracket with a pin. If so,
the swim platform can be folded. To do
so properly, follow these instructions:
(Note that the platforms themselves
are fairly heavy, and releasing the brack-
et may result in the platform falling
down, and thereby striking the transom
with excessive force. Please provide
some kind of manual support to the plat-
form at the time of releasing the bracket,
and then slowly lower the platform into
place for towing or storage.)
NOTE: The attitude adjustment
plate may also need to be lowered prior
to lowering the swim platform.)
Folding Down the Platform
Remove the safety hinge pins in each
swim platform bracket.
Begin by lifting the platform about
four (4) inches upward while easing the
platform away from the boat transom.
This will allow the platform to move
freely on the hinge.
NOTE: Ensure there is no tightness
while the swim platform is being folded.
There should be no binding during this
action.
The platform must be raised and locked
into position for transportation of the boat,
as well as use of the platform while boating.
Leaving the platform down may result in
damage to the boat transom during trans-
port that will not be covered by the war-
ranty!
Securing the Platform
Lift the platform to an angle of ap-
proximately 20 degrees from the boat.
Lightly push the platform (do not
shove nor jam) toward the transom to al-
low the platform to set in place.
Verify that the platform is in the locked
position and will not fall down. Failure
to verify that the platform is locked
may result in the platform falling
while someone is on it and could result
in injury.
Insert one (1) safety hinge pin into
each platform bracket.
