Assembly instructions

These instructions are for assembling the SPORT Silicone Foot Pockets to the SPORT Short Bifins 3 Carbon Blade.

Materials required for assembly

  • Molchanovs left and right short carbon blades
  • Left and right SPORT Silicone Foot Pockets
  • 2 screws for each foot pocket (4 total)
  • Upper and lower mounting plates
  • Phillips head screwdriver

Assembly instructions

  1. Match the left and right foot pocket with the corresponding blade (marked on the back side of each blade).
  2. Insert the blade gently into the slot at the front of the foot pocket and through the side reinforcements, verifying it is inserted correctly and slides in smoothly without force.
  3. Align the blade by carefully adjusting its position until the blade’s mounting holes match with those on the foot pocket.
  4. Position the upper mounting plate over the toe section of the foot pocket, verifying it fits into the provided space.
  5. Begin hand-threading the screws into the holes of the lower mounting plate.
  6. Place the lower mounting plate over the blade, aligning it with the upper mounting plate and the holes. Tighten the screws in a clockwise direction using a Phillips head screwdriver with an even distribution of pressure.
  7. CAUTION: Secure the screws firmly, but avoid over-tightening which could strip the threads or damage the blade. Stop when you feel moderate resistance.
