Indexing shaft position on the clip. You will note
that a groove has been cut in the shaft to keep it from
falling out even if the spring clip should lose its grip.
This grove serves as a safety stop near the top of the
shaft yet allows the shaft to be adjusted to any height.
Once the correct height is known for your particular
boat, a similar groove can be filed or cut to positively
hold the shaft at the desired height.

MAINTENANCE
Telo-Cat is easily removed for trailering. No tools
required.
Made of high impact plastic and stainless steel, the
Telo-Cat is highly corrosion resistant. Occasionally
salt or other foreign materials may build up between
the shaft and the hub of the vane, causing the vane
to act sluggish. To correct, remove collar and vane
and flush thoroughly with fresh water. No other lubri-
cation is needed or recommended.
IMPORTANT: Check for adequate spring tension on
the spring clip each time you install the removable
shaft. The Telo-Cat spring clip is made of the finest
stainless steel, hardened to provide a secure grip
over the shaft. Some spring clips may, however,
loosen their grip over time. If the shaft does not slip
when pulled hard, there is adequate tension. If it
does slip, the spring can easily be retensioned:
1. Remove the Telo-Cat shaft from the spring clip.
2. Carefully bend the clip a little at at time, as shown,
until it positively grips the shaft.
Remember to install the split ring in the hole on the
shaft after it has been positioned in the spring clip.
