Inflating The Kayak - poolstar Z-RAY ST.CROIX 2021 Manuel D'instruction

- Select a clean area free of stones, gravel, sticks or other sharp objects.
- Unfold the kayak that it's laid out flat and locate your pump.
- Use a hand or foot operated air pump to inflate the kayak. Do not use high-pressure air
compressors. It's very important to follow the numbered sequence: failure to do so will
result in an improperly inflated kayak. Fill each chamber until it is stiff.
Inflate the screw valve:
1) Fix the big ring of valve
cap on the base
Inflate and use the footrest:
1) Inflate the footrest to full
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

an oar blade (A) and the shaft (B) inset into the coupler and tighten up the screw collars.
