*This kit is designed to replace the footrests in the Perception Triumph 13 kayak ONLY.
Kit to fit OrigiNZ footrests to a Triumph 13
This kit should contain the following:
2x footrest rails with pedals attached
4x M5 x 25 screws
You will also require some tools to fit this kit:
• Drill with 5mm drill bit
• Phillips screwdriver
Please read these instructions carefully before fitting!
Step 1 - Position for OrigiNZ footrest rails
In the footwell of the Triumph 13, above the moulded in footrests are flat recessed areas designed for fitting the OrigiNZ footrest rails. Each footrest rail has two fixing points, one at either end. The fixing point closest to the kayak seat is marked in each of these areas by a small 2mm dimple. These marks are 215mm along from the seating end of the recess and 14mm down from the top edge of the recess.
If there is not a marked dimple in exactly this place then you will need to mark this position. The height of this position is extremely important, too low and the footrest pedal will catch when adjusting, too high and the washer will not fit on the back of the fixing screw. The position of the rail along the recess is the optimal distance allowing easy access through the front oval hatch to place washers and nuts to secure the rails. If you wish to change this position, make sure you will be able to reach the rear of each screw before drilling any holes.
Step 2 - First fixing points
Use a 5mm drill bit to drill out the centre of the two marked positions (one on either side of the footwell area). Make sure the rails are the right way round with the pedals facing the seating area of the kayak. Push a M5 x 25 screw through the first fixing point on each rail that corresponds to the hole you have just drilled. You will now need to reach in through the front oval hatch on the Triumph 13 to place a washer on the rear of these screws. Then place a nut on each of the screws and tighten using a screwdriver and 8mm spanner. You may need to get someone to help you tighten the screws whilst you hold the spanner on the back.
Step 3 - Second fixing points
Now that the rails are held in place by the first fixing point, you need to make sure they sit level within the recessed area to ensure that the pedals can freely slide along the rails. If the free end of the rail is fixed too high in the recess you will not be able to fit a washer on the back of the fixing screws. Too low and the footrest pedals will catch when adjusting. It is important to make sure the rails are level.
Take each rail in turn and once you are happy that you are holding the rail level you can drill the second fixing positions found at the end of each rail. Use a 5mm drill bit and drill the hole into the kayak with the rail in place.
Push a M5 x 25 screw through the second fixing point on each rail that corresponds to the hole you have just drilled. You will now need to reach in through the front oval hatch to place a washer on the rear of these screws. Then place a nut on each of the screws and tighten using a screwdriver and 8mm spanner. You may need to get someone to help you tighten the screws whilst you hold the spanner on the back.
Step 4 - Pedal adjustment
To move the pedals on the rail squeeze the trigger on the back of each pedal. While holding the trigger in you will be able to slide the pedal up and down the rail. Release the trigger when the pedal is at the desired position.
Check all fittings before taking to the water!
