persons on board, the total weight of persons and equipment must never exceed the
maximum recommended load. Always use the seats /seating spaces provided.
2. When loading the craft, never exceeds the maximum recommended load: Always load the
craft carefully and distribute loads appropriately to maintain design trim (approximately level).
Avoid placing heavy weights high up.
NOTE: The maximum recommended load includes the weight of all persons onboard, all

1. Spread out the kayak on level ground.
2. Assemble the removable fin to the bottom of the kayak (Fig.1). Make sure the curvature of the

NOTE: Assemble the fin before inflation and also disassemble it after deflation.
NOTE: To avoid damage to the removable fin, do not enter shallow water.

3. Inflate the kayak by unscrewing the cap of the air valve (Fig.2 pos.1). Ensure that the
inner spring valve is not depressed. If it is depressed (Fig. 2 pos. 2), press the spring
valve and turn counter clockwise so the inner spring valve is in the correct position (Fig.2
pos. 3). Attached the pressure gauge onto the hose and the hose to the inflate position on
the high-pressure hand pump. Inflate the kayak to 0.15 bar (2 psi). After inflation, screw
the cap of air valve (Fig.2 pos. 4)
NOTE: If over-inflation occurs, press the spring valve to release air to an acceptable level
and securely fasten the air valve.
NOTE: If the kayak is not in use and exposed under the sun, it may cause overexpansion
and damage the kayak. Check the pressure and deflate slightly until the correct pressure
is obtained.
NOTE: Pressure gauge is for inflation purpose only, and the value of the pressure gauge
is just for reference, should not be used as a precision instrument.
