Hobie V2 Drum User Manual

Assembling the new Mirage Drive drums and cables

Caution: The new cables and drums are slotted for easier maintenance and
tune ups. They are not interchangeable with the older parts.

Warning: If cables are installed incorrectly, they may twist off the drums,
causing the Drive to fail.

Tip: DO NOT REUSE Nyloc nuts when installing new cables. The slotted cable
threads have 40% less area -- worn Nylocs may back out causing Drive failure or
adjustment problems.

Tools and materials required:

7/16 inch wrench
needle nose pliers
Marine grade axle grease

Preparation:

1. Remove old drums, cables and chains
2. Wipe drum axle clean
3. Pre-install crank arms to the drums, noting left and right crank arms

Installation:

1. Install new chains / cables on
sprockets, taking care to press chain
solidly into master cog (Plastic sprockets
only). This may be accomplished with the
masts and fins on or off. Verify that chain
is properly centered. (Tip: mark center
