The Powerbase unit, including the universal tendon joint, is subject to extreme loads & forces and should be regularly checked and replaced if it shows any signs of wear and tear. The universal tendon joint has a limited approximate lifetime of up to 120 hours and should be automatically replaced after this time. Furthermore, always check that the RS:X Powerbase is fully inserted into the mast track of the board, and the locking mechanism is fully closed, before going out onto the water. For more information on the use, care and maintenance of your Powerbase, please read the User Manual provided with this product. |

The following components of the Powerbase should be checked regularly for any signs of wear & tear:
|
| The Tendon Joint on all Powerbase units should be free of any cracks or blemishes in the rubber material. The easiest way to confirm this, is to bend the joint 90 dehrees through 4 different axes while checking the mid-point of the joint. If any cracks appear, the joint should be replaced immediately. |
| The two upper and lower drift pins holding the tendon into the tendon holder should be tight. The tightness of these pins can be confirmed with an Allen key. |
| The bottom pin that inserts into the mast track should be flush with the bottom tendon holder and not have any play. |
| The U-Pin should be flush with the upper tendon holder and not have any play. |
If any of your NeilPryde RS:X products are showing any of the above signs of wear and tear, please contact your local Neil Pryde RS:X vendor for advice as soon as possible.
Sail Safe. Have Fun!!
