ASSEMBLY
1) Locate a flat, dry area with access to the launch site. To prevent damage to your kayak do
not set up on sharp, pointed rocks, shells or coral. The kayak should be carried into position.
Dragging or sliding the product over ground, either before or after inflation, can cause permanent
damage.
2) Unfold the kayak completely to prepare for inflation. The valve is a Boston-type valve. The
Main valve must be securely screwed into the Ring Plate before inflation.
3) Inflate the Side Tubes to 2.0 psi (0,14 bar). DO NOT OVERFILL. Once inflated, firmly cap each
valve.
4) Next inflate the Floor to 1.0 psi (0,07 bar). The valve is also a Boston-type valve. Inflate with
the floor valve closed. Once inflated, firmly cap the valve. DO NOT OVERFILL. The valve must be
securely screwed into the Ring Plate before inflation.
5) Confirm that the boat looks straight and level. Shifting of the inflatable bladders during
transport or inflation can occasionally cause the boat to have a slight twist. This condition is best
corrected with one or more bladders partially inflated.
6) If twist is present, partially deflate the floor and hold the boat by bow & stern handles (best
done with 2 people). Gently shake the boat up and down to re-position the floor, then fully re-
inflate the floor. Occasionally it may be necessary to partially deflate the side tubes and gently
reposition the inflatable bladders by hand. Once in place, follow the original inflation order – side
tubes first and floor second.
7) Next position the seat(s) in the cockpit. Seat(s) connect to the floor with Velcro. Seats should
be placed so as to evenly balance the boat when in the water. A solo paddler should be slightly
aft of the boat's center.
8) Once seat position(s) are confirmed, connect seat front straps to the accessory rings forward
of each seat using metal seat clips. Adjust front straps to bring seat back to upright position.
9) To install the fin, turn the kayak upside down. Insert the front section of the fin into the front
portion of the fin box. Pull the fin back while pushing it into the fin box. When seated properly, the
Quick Release pin, found on a small rope nearby, will slide easily into the hole at the back of the
fin box.
Your Aquaglide kayak comes with strategically positioned
Drain Plug
drain plugs to allow for quick draining of water. You can
choose to leave the plugs open while paddling to allow for
the kayak to self-bail if you are in water which allows for the
bottom of the kayak to be exposed to air. However, if you Ring Plate
are paddling in flat water, it is suggested to keep these drain
plugs closed. You can easily screw the drain plug to open or
Boston Valve
close when you choose to drain water from our kayak.
