drain plug(s), allowing any water that may have entered to drain. You can also stand the craft up on it's rear tip, forcing all
water to run down to the drain port(s), however handle with care and be cautious not to damage the tip of the kayak by
abrading it on the ground.
ADJUSTABLE BUCKET SEAT(S)
Your kayak is supplied with a (or several) bucket seat(s), featuring a comfortable high backrest. The seat is held in place
by the Velcro strips on the underside and by webbing straps on the sides of the backrest. Place the seat(s) into the kayak,
matching the position of the Velcro strips on the floor. The backrest should be leaning on the rear edge of the cockpit.
Attach the webbing straps from the sides of the backrest to the buckles located inside the kayak, on the side
walls/chambers. Tighten the straps as needed for the proper back support.
Note the small D-ring located at the top of the seat backrest: take the small webbing strap with a buckle attached at the
rear edge of the cockpit, feed it through the D-ring on the backrest and back through the buckle and tighten it. This will lift
the rear deck, giving the kayak the proper shape and run-off surface for any water splashes during use.
PADDLE HOLDERS
Included feature are also the bungee paddle holders, located on both sides (K1 on one side only) of the cockpit, right
under the soft tube-edge of the cockpit. When you need to attach your paddle or a spare paddle to the kayak, unhook the
bungee cord, wrap it around the paddle shaft and attach the hook again to the bungee cord itself. Unhook them
accordingly to release your paddle.
ADDITIONAL APRON – SPRAY SKIRT
The POINTER kayaks have an all around spray deck for better comfort and protected storage space.
An additional 1 or 2 person apron can be attached with an all around zipper to the spray deck of the K2. (Apron supplied
on some models. If not supplied with your model, this accessory is available separately).
The POINTER are designed to accept the spray skirt (K1: spray skirt is supplied, K2: spray skirt is optional) which
attaches to the soft tube around the edge of the cockpit and provides additional water spray protection. Step into the apron
and tighten the drawstring around your waist. Sitting in the kayak slide the apron over the soft tube-edge of the cockpit,
with the apron handle facing the front. Then tighten the bungee cords in the front of the apron, making sure it is snugly
attached to the cockpit and stays in place during use and the paddling motion of the user. To detach the apron and exit the
kayak at any time, just pull on the front handle of the apron and lift it.
If you leave your product exposed to the hot sun check the pressure and deflate it slightly, to avoid
overstretching the material. The ambient temperature affects the tube's internal pressure : a variation of 1° C causes
a variation of the pressure in the tube of +/- 4 mBar.
