INFLATING THE KAYAK
If the kayak is inflated during cold weather or without direct
sunlight on the tubes, care must be taken not to over-inflate the
tubes. As the air inside the tubes heats up due to temperature
rises or sunshine, the pressure will increase. The kayak is not
fitted with a safety valve, so the pressure must be monitored at
all times.
Caution: Do not over inflate, or use a high-pressure pump!
Assembly of the oar
Take an oar Coupler (C) and unscrew a few turns each of the
two screw collars. Then take an oar blade (A) and the shaft (B)
inset into the coupler and tighten up the screw collars.
Repeat the same steps to assemble the other side of oar. Please
see below illustration:

OPERATING INSTRUCTION
Preparation before departure
Acquire necessary information and inform other passengers:
1. Get information on local laws, regulation and hazards related
to water activities and kayak operation.
2. Check weather forecast, local currents, tides and wind
conditions.
3. Advise someone on land of the time you plan to be back.
4. Explain basic kayak operation to all passengers.
5. Be sure that at least one of your passengers can operate the
kayak in case of emergency.
6. Learn how to determine the distance you can cover, and
remember that bad weather conditions can alter this.
Check the working condition of the kayak and
equipments:
1. Check inflation pressure. Use printed mark beside the valve of
the product to check the main chamber for proper inflation. When
the actual size of printed mark is 10cm approximately using plastic
ruler, the pressure is rated pressure. Inflate air chamber # 3 only
until firm and supportive. Do not over inflate!
2. Check all safety valves.
3. Check the load is evenly distributed on deck of kayak: front to
back and side to side.
4. The footrest will not entangle the feet of the occupants in the
event of a capsize.
