HOW TO INSERT WATER DEFLECTOR 1. Insert one end of the white plastic piece into the slit located underneath the canopy: 2. Gently bend the plastic into an S shape, so you can insert the other end of the white plastic piece into the opposite slit 3.
DRAINAGE The best way to drain the water out from the kayak is to simply flip it upside down, and then tilt the kayak, rocking it back and forth for the water to run out. Another easy way is via the drain plug located at the nose of the kayak which you can use to drain water out of the kayak also.
DEFLATION & PACKING AWAY 1. Remove the seats and fin first (and the rudder + footrests if you have them), then unscrew the valve covers on the kayak. 2. Simply push the valve down to lock the valve in the open/deflate position. The air contained within the kayak will immediately begin to exit.
STORAGE The advantage of inflatable kayaks is their compact nature. You can stow it away under the deck of your boat, in the boot of your vehicle, or neatly away in a home cupboard. 1. Before Storing: Rinse the kayak, fin, paddles, seats & leash in fresh water, and where possible, allow them to dry out.
