ARTIK FOOTREST/FOOT CONTROL (PIVOTING PEDAL) (ALUMINIUM RAIL)

This footrest model differs from the Ref. 53030 by its aluminium guide, which makes it more rigid. The "Artik" pivoting pedal footrest is adjusted by a 1/4 turn pivoting rod mechanism that locks the pedal with the end of the rod being inserted into the slots located in the center of the guide. This simple and robust mechanism allows adjustment every 5 mm. The pivoting pedal provides rest in the center of the foot while allowing the rudder control by pressing the top of the pedal. The pedal is provided with a stainless steel spring which allows the tension to be maintained on the rudder lines. The pedals slide on reinforced and very rigid plastic guides. Removable stoppers at each end of the guides prevent loosing the pedals once installed on the kayak. An ingenious system allows the pedal to be moved deep on the guide without having to change the adjustment of the rudder lines. The micrometric adjustment of the rudder line, which also allows the control the inclination of the upper pedal, is carried out by means of a screw located on the stopper at the end of the guide.
