Installation
Hull inflation:
1.Open and spread the kayak so it is
flat. Check to make sure that the air
valves ① and ② are in the 'inflate'
position and the automatic bottom
drain plugs are closed.
2. First, inflate air chamber ① and ② by 10% - 20% and be sure that both sides of the air
chambers are evenly inflated. (Figure 1)
3. Ensure the inflatable floor is straight and flat at the bow before inflating the sides further.
4. Inflate air chambers ① and ② by 100% (8PSI), respectively. Make sure that both sides
are inflated evenly.
5. Inflate air chamber ③ by 100% (8PSI).
6. If both sides of the hull are not even, adjust the air volume of air chamber ① and ② .
Hull installation:
1. Inflate seats until your hands feel that the seats have been inflated by 100%. Be sure
they are not over-inflated or they could burst.
2. Install seats. Note, the rear seat is attached to the D rings nearest the stern so that the
seat is as far back as possible. The second set of straps will sit unsecured behind the seat.
(See figure 2)
3. Install footrests into the loops on the floor of the kayak.
4. Install fin - remove the bar in the sleeve, slide the fin in and then secure it with the pin.
5. Assemble paddles.

ventilated place above 15°C.
Small holes or punctures can be repaired with the repair kit that is provided
