Set Up - Advanced Elements AIRFUSION EVO AE1042 Owner's Manual

3.2 SET UP

1) Familiarize yourself with the different assembly parts.
a) All the assembly poles have a number marked on them at one end.
b) The front Thwart or "air bag" is much larger than the rear Thwart. The front end of the
thwart (this is the portion that will face the bow of the kayak) is smaller than the back
end (the portion that you will brace your feet against)
c) The rear thwart or "air bag" is much smaller than the front Thwart. The front end of the
thwart (this is the end that will face the stern of the kayak) is slightly smaller than the
back end (the portion that will be directly behind your seat).
2) Assemble the frame poles by interlocking the shock corded ends together.
3) Install the Foam Floor. The Foam Floor should be placed with the wider end at the cockpit.
You can use the front thwart alignment line, printed on the inside of the kayak, to align the
front end of the floor. Make sure that the Velcro loop on the hull of the kayak comes up
through the hole in the floor. See figure 3.
4) Once the poles are assembled and the floor is installed, begin by inserting pole #1 into the
sleeve on the bottom of the front thwart (leave deflated) making sure that the numbered end
of the pole is at the back end of the front thwart. See Figure 4.
