Care of Your TACO Outrigger

Caring For Your Outriggers

INTRODUCTION:
The TACO TELE-OUTRIGGERS will give trouble free performance, providing you use them for the purpose that they were designed for and that the suggested preventive maintenance tips are carried out after use.
BENEFITS:
The TACO Tele-Outriggers are designed to provide the same benefits when trolling as fixed outriggers do. In addition, TACO's Tele-Outriggers provide added benefit, when in the retracted position, of easy storage for care and theft prevention, greater bridge clearance, less obtrusion when trailering, and reduced stress on the gunwale
WARNING:
. High speed cruising in rough seas is not recommended. High speed
    cruising with the outriggers fully extended can cause possible damage to
    the outrigger sections and internal components of the aluminum outrigger.
    Retract your TACO TELE-OUTRIGGER before operating under
    those conditions.
. Excessive release clip tension or faulty clips can cause unnecessary
    loads on outriggers and mounts. Adjust and check clips before each use.
. Avoid denting any of the tubes.
. Avoid tampering with the eyelets as they are preset during assembly.

OPERATION TIPS:
How to extend Tele-Outriggers:
. Extend the TACO TELE-OUTRIGGERS in the mount or free standing if possible.
. Start with the end closest to the base and gently pull each section out.
. Keep the eyelets lined up until you get to the internal stop.
. Once the tube is extended to the stop rotate the tube until the
   spring loaded button pops out (usually one full rotation).

MAINTENANCE:
. Wash with fresh water in the fully extended position after each use.
. Spray all exterior components with a quality lubricant then lightly
wipe down with soft cloth. (Avoid silicon based lubricants).
