begin pumping (C). To close valve: push in with inflation device until stopper has been depressed, sealing internal
stopper (D). Remove device and close external stopper. Valve should appear depressed into itself (E).
3. Inflate the kayak in the order of inflation as shown on the capacity plate printed on the kayak (see also figure # 1 –
numbering of the valves).
4. Max. air pressure: The correct pressure for this item is: 0.1 bar / 1.5 PSI (= 100 mbar) for side chambers, 0.06
bar / 0.9 PSI (= 60 mbar) for bottom chamber. Do not exceed it. Check the pressure using the pressure gauge (**)
supplied with your kayak. Overpressure: deflate until you reach the recommended pressure. Drop of pressure:
inflate again slightly.
If you leave your product exposed to the hot sun check the pressure and deflate it slightly, otherwise the
material might be overstretched.
The ambient temperature affects the tube's internal pressure: a variation of 1°C causes a variation of the pressure in
the tube of +/- 4 mbar.
REMOVABLE FIN
Fitting of the fin is recommended whenever you use your kayak in deep water (lake, sea, etc.), where it helps keep the
kayak in a straight line. Fitting of the fin is not recommended for use in shallow water or white water. The fin would be
likely to damage the bottom of the kayak in shallow water and would reduce manoeuvrability in white water. The bow and
stern lines of the kayak have been designed to ensure good handling without the fin.
ADJUSTABLE INFLATABLE BUCKET SEATS
The bucket seat can be adjusted to meet your needs. Adjust the belt lengths using the buckles at each end. You can also
adjust the position of the seat by moving it in the raised area; the raised area and the lower part of the seat have the hook-
and-loop strip for easy adjustment.

MAINTENANCE: DEFLATING – CLEANING - FOLDING – STORAGE
1. Remove oars/paddles and other accessories.
2. To deflate, unscrew the valve insert and open the valve(s) cap.
3. Mini double lock™ valve: For deflation, open external stopper and pull the valve to extend it out so that the air can
escape (see the figure on page 2 / F).
4. Clean and check the item as well as all the accessories after each use. Rinse it thoroughly making sure to remove any
residues of salt if used in salt water. Use a mild soapy solution, do not use detergents or any type of silicone-based
products. Make sure that the product is completely dry before putting it away.
5. Folding your boat:
a. Fold the sides of the boat inwards. You can place the deflated seats on the back of the folded boat.
b. Roll up the folded boat, starting with the end opposite the valves (so that remaining air in the chambers can be
forced out). Start over again if you see that there is still air in the air chambers.
c. Put in the carry bag.
