OPERATION
Cirrus Ultralight 110 is a 1-person ultralight inflatable kayak for use in sheltered inshore coastal or
inland waterways. The technical construction used in Cirrus Ultralight models places an emphasis on light
weight. While the boat is quite stiff and durable, reasonable care should be taken to treat it as one would
treat any other extremely light weight, high performance sporting goods product.
Competence: The operation of any vessel is a serious responsibility. Each operator must be competent
to control the kayak including ensuring the safety of his/ her vessel and its crew. If this is your first vessel,
or if you are unfamiliar with the craft, consider the risks and make certain you have enough experience
to handle and operate this product in the intended conditions. Your dealer, local experts, and clubs can
all be useful sources of information regarding local conditions, training and/or competent use of this
product.
Capacity: Both shape and weight affect the stability of your kayak. Shape is determined by the
manufacturer and cannot be changed. Added weight of equipment and crew is controlled by the user
and must always be less than the maximum weight capacity stated in this manual and in cockpit.
Trim: Placement of weight can influence performance of the craft and may adversely affect the trim and
stability of the vessel. Place heavy objects as close as possible to the centerline of the craft. Do not
concentrate more than 300lb (136kg) in any one area during use. Added weight of equipment and crew
should be positioned such that the kayak remains level in the water, both fore & aft, and side to side.
In two-person kayaks, it is typical for the heavier paddler to sit in the rear. In solo mode, additional weight
in front and/or rear may help to trim the boat and reduce flex. Some flexing over the length is expected,
and does not adversely affect overall speed if the guidelines above are followed.
Maintain Working Pressure: Air pressure is temperature dependent. Always confirm proper working
pressure before use. Be aware that changing temperatures can cause critical over or under-inflation.
Leaving the product in the sun may quickly affect the internal pressure causing permanent damage. If you
must leave the product, find a shady area, release some air, and leave product upside down to minimize
thermal over-inflation.
If product shows signs of instability or pressure loss, discontinue use until product is returned to working
pressure and/or repairs made.
Paddling - First Steps:
1. Place product in the water in an area protected from wind and boat traffic. Boarding conditions will
vary by site but if uncertain, board in shallow water with solid footing and a stable handhold to make
entry easier. If a solid handhold is not available, brace paddle across cockpit in front of user while
boarding and sitting. Always step into the center of the boat and stay low to avoid tipping.
2. Consider prevailing conditions such as wind, waves, tides, currents and other environmental factors in
planning route. Always be aware of weather and tide/ current changes that may affect return to safety.
3. Maintain a safe distance from sharp rocks, docks, boats, exposed or submerged trees, muscles,
barnacles and any other item that may cause damage to this product. Although this product is extremely
durable, avoid contact with sharp objects that may cut or puncture hull.
Transportation: One of the best features of high-quality inflatable kayaks is that they are extremely
portable. When packed into original storage bag this product fits easily into a closet for storage and into
a vehicle for transport.
Inflated kayaks can be transported on roof racks with adequate straps including bow and stern lines.
Monitor sun exposure – be careful not to exceed working pressure.
A well-packed kayak can typically go on most airlines without oversize baggage charges. A 4-piece
Aquaglide paddle will ensure paddle fits in the bag too. This kayak includes a storage/ dry bag for
protection.
