ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS / INFLATION
Do not use a sharp tool !
Any use of an air compressor will damage your product and automatically void all warranties.
Do not open the zippered closing that provides access to the inflatable inner chambers when the kayak is
inflated.
For the first inflation and in order to get acquainted with your new product, inflate indoors at room temperature where the
PVC will be soft and assembly process made easier.
If it was stored at a temperature below 0°C / 32°F, leave it at 20°C / 68°F for 12 hours before unfolding. Inflate it with a
®
Sevylor
inflator or any inflator designed for kayaks, pool floats, air beds, camping mattresses, and other low pressure
inflatables. These types of inflators will have a hose and adapters to fit the valves on this product.
Choose a smooth and clean surface to unfold your kayak.
1. Fix the directional fin to the bottom, folding the outer hull. Insert the ends of the fin into each of the holders provided
and tauten the outer hull as much as possible to secure it. This operation is not possible when the kayak has been
inflated. The curve of the fin must be towards the stern of the kayak.
2. Your kayak is equipped with :
a) Boston valve(s) and mini Boston valve (please see opposite figure) for inflating
bottom and side chambers. Unscrew the valve cap (1). Screw the valve insert (2)
onto its base (3) and check that the valve cap stays accessible. Insert the pump
hose end piece and inflate it until you will reach the required pressure (see point 3).
After inflation fit all the valve(s) cap tight (clockwise).
N.B.: A slight air-leak before screwing the valve(s) cap is normal. Only the valve(s)
cap can ensure final AIR TIGHTNESS.
b) Mini double-lock valve(s) for inflating seats. See drawing on page 2: Open the valve (A). To begin inflation, open
external stopper and pull to extend out (B). Insert nozzle of inflation device into the extended valve and turn on or
