FOIL ASSEMBLY
1. Position fuselage so that the counter-sunk holes
are facing DOWN.
2. Attach the pedestal to the mast with the two M8 X 40MM
bolts, tightening each one bit by bit until both are tight.
3. Connect the fuselage to the front wing and mast cap. Insert
the fuselage into the tail of the front wing. Align the three
holes on the underside. Insert the one (1) M6 x 25mm set
screw and tighten securely. Locate the front mast cap over
the corresponding cutout in the top of the wing and tap cap
into place. Tighten two (2) M8x23mm bolts in place. WARNING!
If you use fuse position “A” with the mast mounted into the
cutout in the wing (instead of the mast cap) DO NOT USE THE
M8x23mm bolts. Use the supplied M8x45mm Barrel Head Bolts
that are supplied in the package.
4. Connect rear wing to fuselage. As pictured in the diagram, align
the rear shim to the back of the fuselage, then stack the rear
wing on top of the shim (winglets pointing UP). The surfaces
of the parts will align naturally when done properly. Use the two
(2) M6x30mm screws and tighten securely.
5. Attach the mast to the fuselage using the two (2) M8x50mm
tapered bolts. Ensure the thinner edge of the mast is facing the
back wing and the “Slingshot” branding reads top to bottom
(the letter “t” will be closest to the fuselage).
*Coat all bolt hardware with Lanolin oil or a marine-grade grease
and wrap with Teflon tape before assembling your foil.

DOWN POSITION
5

1. To attach your fully assembled foil to your board,
place your board upside down and slide the four
female pieces of your mounting hardware into slots in
the tracks of your board, two on each side.
Note: Mounting hardware comes packaged with
Slingshot foil boards, and is not included in the
foil package.
2. Carefully place your foil over the mounting track so
the front hole pattern in the pedestal line up with
the mounting hardware. Be extra cautious with your
foil in this position; components are fragile and can
damage easily if it gets knocked down or blown over.
3. Bolt your foil to your board, tightening each bolt bit
by bit until all four are equally tight.
ATTACHING FOIL TO BOARD

Foiling comes with a unique set of challenges, risks and
dangers. Know your limits, know your gear, know the
conditions and use extra caution to keep yourselves
and others safe in the water. Here are a few basic safety
precautions we recommend taking.
1. The use of a helmet and wetsuit are highly
recommended, especially when learning, to help protect
yourself from impacts with your board and foil.
2. Check all foil screws and components before every
session to ensure all connections are tight, and
components are in proper working order.
3. Use extreme caution when foiling near other people or
objects. Give yourself and others a wide berth.
4. Do not foil in shallow water.
5. Pay extra attention to wind and water conditions;
always air on the side of caution.
6. Be aware that your foil will carry speed and drift on its
own faster and farther than a regular board.
SAFETY MAINTENANCE
It is imperative to clean and lubricate your foil regularly,
especially after use in salt water. This is true for all of
your gear, but especially for your foil. Following these
simple steps on a regular basis will minimize corrosion and
prevent the components of your foil from fusing together.
1. Coat all bolt hardware with Lanolin oil or a marine-
grade grease and wrap with Teflon tape before
assembling your foil.
2. Rinse your foil well after EVERY exposure to
salt water.
3. Regularly disassemble, clean and inspect
all components.
4. Regularly lubricate foil components and hardware
at all connection points. Use a general marine-grade
grease or Lanolin oil. Lubricate where components
come together to help prevent wear and corrosion.
5. Ensure all hardware is screwed firmly in place
before each use.
6. Be careful when handling your foil and use your
protective foil bag whenever possible.

WRAP HARDWARE WITH TEFLON TAPE:
Wrap all bolt hardware in a thin layer of Teflon Tape. This
will be a little tricky with the bolts covered in a layer of
Lanolin oil/ or marine-grade grease, but it acts as a second
layer of protection to prevent your bolts from corroding
and fusing with other components of your foil. Wrap the
tape tight so it feeds through the threads of the foil
properly without peeling off.
LUBRICATE HARDWARE:
In a clean, sand-free area, carefully coat all bolt
hardware, bolt holes and ALL connection points with
a layer of Lanolin oil or marine-grade grease. Coat
anywhere that parts touch each other to prevent them
from corroding and fusing together. Don’t forget the
inside of your front wing. A cotton swab works well for
this. Lanolin, or wool’s wax, is a natural oil that acts as a
lubricant and water repellent. If you have an allergy to
wool, be sure to take precautions or use a different oil.
