INSTALLING THE SEAT

On the bottom of the seat, wrap the wings of the seat around the seat frame and securely tighten the straps.

INSTALLATION

• Orient the seat as shown. Press the front end of the frame into the clips indicated, then snap the top of the clip into place. The rear of the seat frame rests in the slots shown.
  
• Secure the long center strap on the underside of the seat cover to the tie-off bracket on the hull. This will prevent the seat from sinking in the event that the seat becomes seperated from the hull in the water.

MAINTENANCE

Helpful Tips For Your Kayak

• Always store your kayak out of direct sunlight when not in use. Your kayak is manufactured with UV-resistant color, but a kayak stored in direct sunlight will begin to color fade over long periods of time.
• Your new kayak is molded of high-density polyethylene resin. Clean up with mild soap and water is recommended periodically to keep your paddleboard looking new.
• Never drag any portion of the kayak over asphalt or any rocky, sandy or abrasive surfaces.
• Do not stand or sit on your kayak when out of the water. This can cause damage to the hull.
• During regular use, it is normal to fi nd small amounts of water inside the kayak. Carefully remove the black drain plug on the side and tilt the kayak to let the water drain out. Secure the drain plug when fi nished.
• If your kayak has been exposed to hot sunlight, it is recommended to splash water on the hull to cool the hot surface before it comes in direct contact with your skin.
