• Protect the kayak from heat and fire! Be care-
ful with lit cigarettes!
• To avoid damage to the hull, make sure that
the kayak does not run onto rocky ground.
• Should damage occur to one of the five
internal chambers while you are on the water,
under no circumstances must you abandon the
kayak. The buoyancy of the four intact internal
chambers is sufficient to keep the kayak safely
above water.
• Under no circumstances should the inflated
kayak be transported by vehicle.
• Never leave your kayak in the water unoc-
cupied. It will drift away faster than it can be
reached by swimming.
• Before using always make sure that you have
the paddles with you since you may otherwise
not be able to manoeuvre the kayak properly.
• Do not make any technical modifications to
your kayak. Modifications of any kind put
operation of the kayak at risk.
• Never use your kayak when under the influ-
ence of alcohol, drugs or medications.
• Never overestimate your strength and when
paddling conserve the strength in your mus-
cles in such a way that you can easily paddle
back again over the distance you have
covered. Stay in sheltered shore areas within
300m and beware of changing winds and
currents that may make it significantly harder
for you to navigate.
WARNING!
Your caution and self-awareness when
on the water are extremely important.
Never overestimate your strength and
navigational skills! Always stay close
to shore! Be aware of what the weath-
er conditions are and pay attention to
storm warnings or any flares!
WARNING!
Please always comply with the safe-
ty regulations and the current local
provisions for lakes and open bodies of
water, and for your own safety always
wear a certified life jacket.

WARNING!
Avoid using sunscreen and skin care
products containing alcohol. Sunscreen
and skin care products containing alco-
hol can cause the colour coating of this
PVC inflatable product to peel. This can
lead to stains on your body, your cloth-
ing and other objects that are in contact.
WARNING!
If someone falls overboard they should
always climb back on board via the
bow or the stern because there is a high
risk of capsizing when trying to board
from the sides.
Avoiding material damage!
• All inflatables are susceptible to cold. For this
reason never unfold and inflate the product at
a temperature lower than 15°C!
• In the event that the air pressure increases in
the hot sun, it must be balanced accordingly
by letting out air.
• Make sure that the product, especially when
inflated, does not come into contact with
stones, gravel, or sharp objects and does not
rub or scrape against anything as this can
cause damage to the plastic foil.
• Use only the correct pump adapters to insert
into the safety valves. The valves might other-
wise be damaged.
• Do not over-inflate because you then risk tear-
ing open the welded seams. Close the valves
properly after inflating.
• Avoid contact with sharp, hot, pointed, or
dangerous objects.
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).
