KERO Bench Seat for PakCanoes - Manual (Page 2)

B. Installing the seats.
1. Please locate the side rails (aluminum tubes with plastic fittings). The side rails connect to the cross
ribs, and the seat connects to the side rails. Please note that the Latch clips on the rail should face up,
and the screw on each steel clamp should face into the boat.
One end of each side rail has a bracket secured with a steel clamp (see picture).
The bracket connects to the cross rib behind the seat, between two plastic rings.
You can mount the seat higher or lower, depending on how many plastic rings
are below the bracket.
2. Determine how high you want the rail, lift the plastic rings above
where you want the rail, and press the bracket into place so it clamps
around the cross rib. Press the rail down so its bottom inserts into the
plastic ring. Push the upper rings down onto the bracket to lock the
connection.
3. An identical bracket is near the other end of the
rail, but is not secured with a steel clamp. Push this
bracket into place around the cross rib at the front
of the seat and lock it with the plastic rings as
described above.
4. Install the rail on the other side of the canoe to match the placement of the rail you just installed.
5. Loosen the clamps on the latch clips with the screw
driver, and loosen the knobs under the seat so the
connecting parts can easily be moved.
6. Place the seat in the desired position with the sides
resting on the rails and the latch clips securing the seat.
Tighten the steel clamps and the knobs under the seat.
Secure the rear latches with elastic bands. The seat is now
secure.
Note: You can leave the latch clips securely clamped in place until there is a reason to install the seat
in a different position.
