3.3 INFLATION

IMPORTANT: Inflate your kayak in the following order. Failure to follow these instructions
NOTE: Replace
may cause damage to your kayak. Do not over inflate. Be sure to read directions on operating
current valve images
the spring valves and twist valves located in the section "Understanding Your Valves".

1. Inflate chamber 1 "main1" until the kayak looks about half way inflated.
illustration.
2. Inflate chamber 2 "main2" until the kayak feels firm to the touch. (2.0 PSI Maximum)
3. Inflate chamber 3 "floor" until firm (1.0 PSI Maximum). Do not over inflate! The floor should
still be relatively soft and have some "give" to it. You should be able to press your finger into the
floor and touch through to the bottom side.
4. Make sure all valves are closed tightly and properly.
NOTE: Ideally you want to put about half of the air in Chamber 1 and half into chamber 2. This
way if you were to lose pressure in one chamber then you would have the other chamber to float
the kayak.

3.4 OVER INFLATION AND TEMPERATURE REGULATION

CAUTION: Water temperature and weather will affect the air pressure of the kayak. In cold
weather and water your kayak will lose some pressure. If this occurs, you may want to add a
bit more air to the kayak to improve performance. In hot weather or prolonged sunlight, the air
inside the kayak will expand. You must let some air out of the appropriate chambers to prevent
the kayak from failing due to overpressure. You should avoid exposing your kayak to extreme
temperatures (hot or cold).
