Newby question re Epic 2006 foot plate adjustment

Hi All,

Just trying to get started in the sport. I picked up a 2006 Epic V10 Sport but I'm having some problems trying to adjust the foot plate.

I've seen a video for the later models that makes it look super easy.

Anyone had any experience with the old models that might be able to give me some pointers?

Have attached a photo of what it looks like.

Have just had another look at the video for the newer models again & the mechanism for adjusting looks similar if not the same but mine doesn't seem to want to budge. I don't want to damage it by trying too hard. Any tips?

Sorry Mods, just noticed I made a newby mistake & managed to put this in announcements - guess I just announced to the world that I am a newby in more ways than one.

Please feel free to move somewhere more appropriate.

Pull the string till the lugs come out......then whack the footplate. Within reason. Things get a bit sticky with salt etc.

Thanks Dicko. The lugs were the the tricky part - a little bit of Inox once I could see a little bit of movement did the trick.

Thanks for your help.
