ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS / INFLATION

 Do not use a sharp tool !
G
 Any use of an air compressor will damage your product and automatically void all warranties.
L
 Do not open the zippered closing that provides access to the inflatable inner chambers when the kayak is
inflated."

For the first inflation and in order to get acquainted with your new product, inflate indoors at room temperature where the
H
PVC will be soft and assembly process made easier.
If it was stored at a temperature below 0°C / 32°F, leave it at 20°C / 68°F for 12 hours before unfolding. Inflate it with a
Sevylor® inflator or any inflator designed for kayaks, pool floats, air beds, camping mattresses, and other low pressure
inflatables. These types of inflators will have a hose and adapters to fit the valves on this product.
Choose a smooth and clean surface to unfold your kayak.
1. Fix the directional fin to the bottom, folding the outer hull. Insert the ends of the fin into each of the holders provided
and tauten the outer hull as much as possible to secure it. This operation is not possible when the kayak has been
inflated. The curve of the fin must be towards the stern of the kayak.
2. Your kayak is equipped with two different types of valves:
a) Boston valve(s) – please see opposite figure: Unscrew the valve cap (1). Screw
the valve insert (2) onto its base (3) and check that the valve cap stays accessible.
Insert the pump hose end piece and inflate it until you will reach the required
pressure (see point 3). After inflation fit all the valve(s) cap tight (clockwise).
N.B.: A slight air-leak before screwing the valve(s) cap is normal. Only the
valve(s) cap can ensure final AIR TIGHTNESS.
b) Push-in valve(s): open the cap of the valve and inflate by using the adapter of the
inflator which fits the valve. Close the valve and press it into the air chamber.
3. Inflate the kayak in the order of inflation as shown on the capacity plate printed on the kayak (see also figure # 1 –
numbering of the valves).
4. Max. air pressure: The correct pressure for this item is : 0.1 bar/1.5 PSI (= 100 mbar). Do not exceed it. Check
the pressure using the pressure gauge (**) supplied with your kayak. Overpressure: deflate until you reach the
recommended pressure. Drop of pressure: inflate again
If you leave your product exposed to the hot sun check the pressure and deflate it slightly, otherwise the
material might be overstretched.
The ambient temperature affects the tube's internal pressure: a variation of 1°C causes a variation of the pressure in
the tube of +/- 4 mbar.
