Assembly
Follow the individual assembly steps
in the order indicated. If the correct
sequence for inflating the five air cham-
bers is not followed the pressure may
be distributed unevenly. This can lead to
instability of the kayak and adversely
affect its handling characteristics.
Note: The side of the kayak with the 3 screw-on
valves is the stern side (1f). The opposite side (with-
out screw-on valves) is the bow side (1g) (fig. A).
• Assembly should always be performed by two
adults because of the product's size.
• Select a smooth and clean surface with
enough space to unfold the kayak. Check
that all the individual parts are present and in
good order and condition.
• When assembling the kayak for the second
and subsequent times, you should inspect
for any possible damage, holes, and tears
and these should be sealed as described in
the section "Repairs". Once you are on the
water it is no longer possible to remedy any
damage.
• Do not over-inflate the air chambers so as not
to over-stretch the plastic foil.
• Make sure that the inflated kayak does not
come into contact with stones or other sharp
objects and become damaged.
Assembling the 2-way screw-on
valve (fig. H)
The floor chambers
and the upper side cham-
bers
,
of the kayak are all provided with a
threaded opening for the screw-on valves (10).
1. Pull the loop (10a) of the valve over the
threaded opening (1c) so that it loops tightly
around the edge of the threaded opening.
2. Turn the base (10b) clockwise into the thread-
ed opening.
Inflation
WARNING!
• Follow the correct sequence when inflating
the air chambers. The correct sequence is
indicated on the kayak and in the instructions
for use (No.
-
).
• The recommended operating pressure is
0.05bar ( = 50mbar = 0.73psi).
• Avoid inflating the air chambers too much
because there is the risk of over-stretching the
welded seams or even tearing them open.
• To inflate the product use standard commer-
cial foot pumps or double-stroke piston pumps
with matching adapter attachments and where
applicable a pressure gauge.
• Do not use a compressor or compressed air
bottle to inflate the product. This can lead to
damage to the product.
• Always inflate all air chambers fully.
Inflation sequence
Inflate the air chambers in the following se-
quence:
1. Floor chamber with screw-on valve
2. Lower side chamber with stopper valve
3. Upper side chamber with screw-on valve
4. Lower side chamber with stopper valve
5. Upper side chamber with screw-on valve
Note: The air chambers are marked on the
kayak with the corresponding numbers (
Filling the air chambers
Note: For the screw-on valve you need a pump
with a conical nozzle with a diameter of approx.
17.5mm (fig. I).
For the stopper valve you need a pump with a
suitable conical connection.
1. Floor chamber with screw-on valve
1. Open by turning the seal cap (10c) of the
screw-on valve (10) anticlockwise (fig. H).
2. Inflate the floor chamber
priate pump.
3. Check the operating pressure as described in
the section "Checking the operating pressure".
4. Turn the seal cap (10c) of the screw-on valve
(10) clockwise to close it again.
2. Lower side chambers with stopper
valve
1. Open the upper part of the valve seal (1d)
(fig. J).
2. Inflate the lower side chambers
they feel firm and no more creases can be
seen in the material.
