3.3.2 STABILISING YOUR HDYROFOILER XE-1 FOR ASSEMBLY
a. Remove rear foil from foil box. Ensure that the rear foil is on a clear
and stable flat surface.
b. Lift the Hydrofoil bike out of the box and gently insert into the rear
foil shoe. This will provide the stability needed for handlebar and seat
post assembly.
3.3.3 ATTACH THE HANDLEBARS & SEAT POST
INFORMATION: Requires 4 mm hex key.
TORQUE: Manta5 recommends using a torque wrench to fasten
the stem to the steering tube. The specified torque is 3-4 Nm.
Take caution to not over-tighten the stem to the steering tube.
FRICTION PASTE (optional): Apply a light coating of friction
paste between the steering tube and the stem.
FRICTION PASTE (optional): Apply a light coating of friction
paste inside the frame where the seat tube inserts.
c. Slide the handlebars onto the steering tube and align so they are
square to the steering fork, tighten to 3 Nm. NOTE: You will be able
to adjust the angle of the handlebars more accurately later if needed.
d. Insert the seat post into the frame tube and secure with the seat-post
clamp. You can use a 5 mm hex wrench to adjust the pressure applied
by the clamp if necessary.
3.3.4 RE-STABILISING THE HYDROFOILER XE-1 FOR
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION: In the upside-down position, the Hydrofoiler XE-1 is
top-heavy. Make sure the floor you are placing it on is flat, level
and on a non-abbrasive surface to avoid any scratching to the
hydrofoil bike.
CAUTION: Lifting the Hydrofoiler is easier with two people.
Never strain to lift, manoeuvre or handle the items or the
Hydrofoiler XE-1.
NOTICE: Take care to place the Hydrofoiler XE-1 in a location
where it won’t be accidentally knocked over or blown over in
the wind.
e. Carefully lift the bike out of the box and place it upside-down resting
on the handlebars and seat, with the handlebars square to the frame
for best stability.

10 | AS00009 REV 1 MANTA5 XE-1 INITIAL ASSEMBLY GUIDE
INFORMATION: Requires 4 mm & 5 mm hex key.
INFORMATION (optional): Apply Loctite to the screws prior
to installing them. This can be found at your local hardware
store.
f. Put the spacer through the hole in the mini tiller, align the mini tiller
section with the front of the tiller arm (the mini pivot junction). Put
the nylock nut into the hex side of the mini pivot junction and place
the mini tiller into the mini pivot junction (ensuring the spacer lines up
with the bolt hole and nut) before pushing the bolt through from the
other side. Use the 4 mm hex key to tighten the bolt into the nylock
nut.
g. Once complete, attach the front foil. Turn the front tiller arm upside
down, with the tiller arm and mini tiller facing forward. Remove the
two screws and washers from the front tiller shoe using the 4 mm
hex key. Next align the front foil to the front tiller shoe by having the
thicker end of the foil at the front and the thinner edge facing towards
yourself (logo facing downward).
h. Place a washer on each hole in the front foil, and place the screws
through the washers and holes, until they are lined up with the
threaded holes in the front tiller. Use the 4 mm hex key to tighten the
screws until they are firm. Once you have fully assembled the front
tiller section to check that the front foil has been correctly assembled,
stand behind the now upright tiller and ensure that the Manta5 logo
is facing you.
INFORMATION: The following process of attaching the
front tiller and rear foil to your Hydrofoiler XE-1 will provide
the stable platform you will need in order to attach the
front buoyancy modules and pedals, completing the initial
assembly. It is important to assembly your Hydrofoiler on a
flat, stable and non-abbrasive surface in order to complete
the next steps.
3.3.6 ATTACH THE FRONT TILLER SECTION
INFORMATION: Requires 5 mm hex key.
1. Assemble the front tiller to the steering fork assembly and fasten by
tightening the countersunk screw into the nylock nut.
3.3.7 ATTACH THE REAR FOIL
INFORMATION: Requires 6 mm hex key.
i. Holding the foil horizontal and upside-down, slide the bayonet shoe
onto the bayonet upright. NOTE: It will not fully assemble until the
captive screw is tightened using the 6 mm hex key.
j. Tighten the captive cap-screw, which secures the foil to the frame.
3.3.8 UPRIGHTING THE HYDROFOILER XE-1 CAREFULLY
RESTING ON ITS FOILS
NOTICE: The foil does not add much weight, but the
combination is now wider and more awkward to handle. When
turning over, be careful not to drop the foil on the ground and
watch for the front tiller dropping.
CAUTION: If in doubt, Manta5 recommend that the Hydrofoiler
XE-1 is lifted by two people.
a. Before turning over: ensure there is enough clear space to safely
rotate the bike onto.
b. Stepping from the front of the Hydrofoiler, hold both hand grips and
turn over, placing in the upright position resting on its foils. Ensure
the front foil is parallel to the ground with the mini-tiller hanging in
free-air.
c. Now that the rear foil is attached and the Hydrofoiler XE-1 is upright,
it is more stable and you can continue with the assembly.
3.3.9 ATTACH THE FRONT BUOYANCY MODULES

11
INFORMATION: This step can be easier with two people. If
dropped onto a hard surface the buoyancy modules could be
damaged. It can be done with one person, but is much easier to
have a helping hand.
a. Slide the stirrup to the forward position.
b. Make sure you have x5 short buoyancy fastener clips (BP00004) to
hand.
c. Insert the RH Front buoyancy module first by seating the upper edge
under the lip of the battery tray. This is best done by pressing the rear
edge in first, and then the front edge.
d. Offer up the left hand front buoyancy module making sure to
engage the male bullet shape pin guide fasteners with their female
counterparts. This is easiest done by holding the lower edge outward
and again engaging the top edge of the buoyancy under the battery
tray lip. Push the buoyancy up while gently wiggling it until it locks
in place.
e. The two buoyancy modules will fit snugly around the shaped sections
of the frame.
f. While lifting the rearward side of the front buoyancy, reach through
the top of the battery tray and slide the stirrup backwards.
g. Place the x5 short buoyancy fastener clips (BP00004) into the slots to
lock both buoyancy modules in place.
h. If you are having difficulty with this, partially loosen the 4 cap screws
in the battery tray and re-insert the front buoyancy modules using
the same method, once the buoyancy clips have been installed then
re-tighten the battery tray screws.
3.3.10 INSTALL THE PEDALS
INFORMATION: Requires either a 6 mm hex key or a 15 mm
spanner.
INFORMATION: The pedals have ‘L’ and ‘R’ marked on them.
Ensure the L and R side pedals are assembled to the correct
side. The right-hand pedal has a right-hand thread (screw in
clockwise), and the left-hand pedal has a left-hand thread
(screw in anti-clockwise).
a. Screw in each pedal the correct direction of rotation while holding the
corresponding crank arm. You will need a tool that will provide at least
200 mm of leverage to tighten the pedals with sufficient torque (30
Nm.). A 15 mm spanner can be used across the flats of the pedal or
a 6 mm hex key can be passed through the hole in the crank arm and
used in the pedal hex recess.
b. After tightening, check that the pedals spin freely.
