2 PRESENTATION AND INSTRUCTION OF USE

2.1 Presentation

TESSIER company designs, manufactures and sells alpine sitski equipment since 1995. The

Swaik

is the first product of the range concerning watersports. The design and

manufacturing quality of the Swaik

is faithful to the other products, which have established

the notoriety of the company.

The Swaik

is available in two different frame heights, it covers all the possible morphologies

and brings wakeboard to lower limbs disabled people. It comes out with water TESSIER

seats specifically adapted for this use.

First frame with a lot of settings, the Swaik

allows each rider to find his specific position. It

enhances comfort and feelings to the sitwakeboarder, because it lets the board free. Its

design with two articulated plates combined with the Full-Flex System, a high precision

mechanism, unleashes the board flex, while keeping an excellent lateral rigidity and a

reactivity that all the riders, beginners as pros, will enjoy.

Version SW03-20170512 5

2.2 Recommendations

WARNING

Rider security depends on his formation level, his wisdom and his protection.

It is thus important to respect the following points:

•Do not begin alone; learn with an association or a competent instructor for wakeboard

or sit waterski.

•It’s required that beginners with Swaik® mustn’t be fastened to their sits.

At first you need to become completely familiar with this equipment before thinking to

ride fastened to your seat and with the feet strongly fastened as a consequence (see

chapter 3.3).

Before riding fastened, the rider need to master balance in water and learn to swim

with the Swaik®. The rider must particularly be able to put back his board below him

when he will be on his side with the board floating on the water

This movement is essential to prevent any risk of drowning.

This training must be done near the bank of the water and under the supervision of

someone who can act quickly if you need help.

The rider will also need to perfectly know the procedure to unlock the belt. He will also

be able to do it in the water. (see chapter 3.5.4)

•Always keep a security gap so as to control your progression and your trajectory to

avoid collisions with obstacles or other users.

•Wearing the equipment mentioned at chapter 4.1 is strongly recommended.

IMPORTANT

The performance and security of the Swaik

depend on its condition. It is thus important

to look after it correctly and to pay attention to the following points :

•Pay attention to your equipment and immediately remedy any malfunction.

•Respect the original mounting of the parts in case of repairs. Do not hesitate to contact

us if needed.

•Check the use of the board you use, particularly the mountings (inserts).

2.3 Conditions of use

•The Swaik

is a sit wakeboard frame designed for an independent use.

•The Swaik

has been designed to use nautical ski cable or wakeboard boats and

waterski boats.

•Anyone using TESSIER products must be correctly retained in the seat. Our 7 sizes

(children and size 1 to 6) allow fitting most of morphologies. For further information, go to

chapter 3.5 related to nautical seats.

Version SW03-20170512 6

2.4 Choosing the right board

As for a valid person, choosing a board depends on the type of wakeboarding, weight and

level of the rider. A 138 – 143 cm board will satisfy most of the riders. The frame has been

developed to fit on most of the boards of the market, without any modification needed.

Ski cable wakeboarding: Boards with an intermediate/stiff flex will correspond to a ski cable

use of the frame. Fins are prohibited on kickers, we recommend you to get cable specific

boards, or hybrid boards with removable fins. Some riders will enjoy more boat specific

boards, with more rigidity.

Boat wakeboarding: Boards for a boat use are more rigid. A slightly longer board than a

cable board will satisfy you, because being longer and wider; it will help you with trajectory.

IMPORTANT

Do not let your board exposed to intense sun ever. That might damage it when you will get

back to the water.

3 ASSEMBLY, SETTINGS AND FUNCTIONNING

3.1 Mounting of the frame on the board

A fastening kit composed of 4 headless screws 6x30 stainless steel A4, 4 large stainless

steel washers and 4 stainless steel lock nuts are delivered with the frame.

In order to correctly install the frame on the board:

1- Screw the 4 headless screws until the bottom of the insert thread. Use 2 most

opposite inserts as indicated in the sketch above. Tighten moderately by 4 Nm.

2- Place the front plate centered

on the inserts (3

and 7

holes

of the plate). This setting

corresponds to the standard

center of gravity.

3- Place the rear rail of the Full-

Flex System keeping at least

25 mm on both sides of the

pads. The position of the rail

relatively to the inserts will

differ according to the board

used.

4- Place the washers and tighten

moderately the nuts but

enough in a way that the frame

does not get slack anymore, (4

Nm maxi). Go to chapter 3.4.2

to balance the center of gravity

of the frame.

IMPORTANT

If your board has an important rocker, you will not manage to install the rail if you have

already completely tightened the screws in the inserts. In this case, untighten one of the

screws on each insert group, place the front plate and the rail of the Full-Flex System on the

board and then tighten both screws on the inserts. Go back to operation 4 above.

3.2 Functioning of the Full-Flex System

The performance of the Swaik

is partly obtained thanks to its rear translation mechanism. It

is highly important, added to the maintenance instructions given in chapter 6, to control the

correct functioning of the Full-Flex System before each session. Also check that there is no

dust particle meddled inside the mechanism, and clear with smooth water the pads and the

entire frame after each session in salt water.

It is highly important to install the rail correctly. Respect the distance of 25mm on both sides

of the pads as explained at operation 3.

Rail correctly placed, gap of

25mm mini on both sides of

the pads.

Rail wrongly placed, pads too

close to the edge of the rail.

3.3 Installation and use of the foot plate

This foot plate provides you many adjustments in accordance with your morphology and the

rigidity of the support you need.

This foot plate enables you to ride safely when it’s properly adjusted.

According to your practice, the foot plate should:

- Release your feet in case of fall when the rider is not fastened in his seat.

(Strap on the toes. See chapter 3.3.1)

- Guarantee a good support of the feet for an experienced rider who ride fastened in his

seat.

(Strap on the instep. See chapter 3.3.2)

WARNING

For your safety, the foot plate adjustment should always enable you to release your feet in

case of fall if you are not fastened to your seat.

3.3.1 Strap on your toes.

1- According to your feet width, insert the straps into the widest openings of the carbon

plate (wide feet) or into the narrowest side (narrow feet). To do this turn over the plate on

the board.

2- According to your feet size, note previously the right length of the straps and insert the

stainless steel pins by their smallest side into the matching opening (position 1 to 4)
