6.3 OVER INFLATION
CAUTION - OVER INFLATION IS THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF
!
LEAKS AND DAMAGE TO THE INFLATION CHAMBERS. DO
NOT OVER INFLATE YOUR KAYAK.
Variation in temperature such as air, water or contact surfaces
(i.e. sand, asphalt, concrete) will affect the air pressure within the
kayak inflation chambers. You should avoid exposing your kayak
to extreme temperatures, both hot and cold.
Cold conditions could result in some loss of air pressure and
should this occur you should add some air (in line with the
inflation guidelines) to maintain performance.
Hot conditions could result in the air inside the chambers
expanding and increasing pressure. In this case you should let
some air out of the chambers (in line with the inflation guidelines)
to avoid over pressure.
Before paddling, be sure all the kayak's air chambers are
properly inflated.
