Make sure that all required safety equipment is on board (check the laws and
regulations of the country or locality in which you are boating to see if
additional equipment may be needed):
• One personal flotation device (PFD) per person.
• Air pump, oars, repair kit and tool kit.
• Any other mandatory equipment.
• The boat papers and your boating license (if applicable).
• Lights are required if operating after dark.
Rules to Observe During Navigation
• Be responsible, do not neglect the safety rules, this could jeopardize your life and the
lives of others.
• Always keep control of your boat.
• Respect local regulations and practices.
• Near the shore, navigate in the designated boating area.
• Remember that weather conditions can rapidly deteriorate. Always be sure that you
can reach a shelter rapidly.
• Everyone on board must always wear a personal flotation device (PFD).
• Do not drink alcohol or take drugs before or while operating your boat. Maintain
passenger sobriety.
• Do not exceed the authorized number of persons or weight.
• Make sure your passengers remain seated at all times. At planning speeds, in rough
water or during sharp turns, all passengers should position themselves in seats or on
the floor.
• No bow riding. Bow riding is illegal in most areas and is extremely dangerous. In case
of falling, the man overboard is in the way of the propeller.
• Be especially careful when docking. Arms and legs may be injured if they are outside
the boat.
• Keep clear of swimmers and divers. Always avoid areas where divers/swimmers are in
the water.
• Keep a sharp lookout especially when operating near beaches and launch sites.
The Alpha flag indicates proximity of divers. You MUST maintain a safe distance as
required by your local boating laws, which may range from 50 meters (164 feet) to
91 meters (300 feet).
• Avoid sharp turns at high speeds. You could get ejected from the boat.
• Do not make changes in direction without advising passengers.
• Avoid all contact between the buoyancy tubes and sharp objects or aggressive liquids
(such as acid).
• Do not smoke on board.
Care and Maintenance
The kayak is made of the highest quality materials and complies with ISO 6185
standards. Altering the construction of the kayak will endanger your own safety, safety of
the occupants and void the limited warranty!
There is very little that you have to do to keep your kayak in good condition for many
years. Do not store your kayak inflated. If you store it in a closet, basement or garage,
we suggest you pick a cool, dry place, making sure the kayak is clean and dry before you
store it - or mold can accumulate.
Use as few cleaning agents as possible, do not discharge waste agents into water, and
clean your kayak preferably on land.
Clean your kayak after a trip to prevent damage from sand, salt water or sun exposure.
Most dirt can be removed with a garden hose, a sponge and mild soap. Make sure the
kayak is completely dry before storing. Store the product and accessories in a dry,
temperature controlled, between 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) and 104
degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) storage location.
