Pump Instructions:

  • To Inflate – Attach the hose’ threaded end to the black connection point.
  • To deflate – Attach the hose’s threaded end to the orange connection point.
  • Finish position – Allows pump to reach a higher pressure at decreased input effort.
  • Start position – Allows fastest pump speed

Valve instructions:

  • Push on the valve to open/close
  • Valve is CLOSED when spring is up [figure E]
  • When the valve is closed, air will not go in or out, unless a hose is connected
  • Have the valve closed when using pump to inflate or deflate

 

  • Valve is OPEN when spring is locked down [figure F]
  • when the valve is OPEN air can move freely in either direction

INFLATING instructions:

  • Inflate each side till they begin to take shape.
  • Then inflate the floor to no more than 6 psi [figure G]
  • Return to sides and continue to inflate the sides to no more than 3 psi  [figure H]
  • ***Let out a bit of over-inflation that can occur over the course of a sunny day

Fin Instructions:

  1. Roll the kayak over to expose the bottom. Remove the bolt and the flat rectangular nut from the fin.
  2. Re-connect bolt and nut loosely (1 or 2 turns)
  3. Use the bolt as a handle to insert the flat nut into the opening of the fin-box and slide the flat nut as far forward as possible. Unscrew bolt leaving flat nut in place at front of fin-box. [figure I]
  4. Locate the fin’s horizontal pin. Starting with this pin, insert the fin into the opening in the fin-box and slide backward until the front of the fin can be pressed down into the box.
  5. Align hole in the fin with hole in the flat nut and insert the bolt. Tighten to secure.

 

 

 

 

 

Deflating and Packing:

  • Remove the fin, and replace the bolt and nut onto the base of the fin, tight enough that it wont vibrate lose.
  • Ensure valve is open (push in and turn) to allow deflation to begin
  • Once mostly deflated, close valve (turn pin valve till it pops back up) 
  • Attach hose to the orange connection on the pump
  • Use pump to finish deflation (please do not over deflate)
  • With the kayak on the right side-up, fold the kayak starting from the rear (allow the fin box to determine the length of the fold)
  • Place the rolled up kayak into the kayak bag, and ensure all accessories are returned as well. (Please detach the hose from the pump before putting it in the bag)

Remember:

  • Have kayak in knee deep water before getting in or out
  • Do NOT ram or slide across the shore as this can damage the boat and/or fin
  • Never paddle in shallow water. Walk through shallow waters
  • Do not over inflate (no more than 3 psi on sides, and 6 psi on floor)
  • Be aware that warm sun can cause the air within to expand. If the temperature outside increases please check the pressure and release excess air pressure 
  • Please return a clean kayak
