INFLATION
WARNING: DO NOT USE A COMPRESSOR.
THIS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
START BY PLACING YOUR CANOE ON A CLEAN, FLAT SURFACE,
ENSURING IT IS AWAY FROM ANY SHARP OR ABRASIVE OBJECTS
THAT COULD DAMAGE IT.
BEFORE STARTING, INSPECT FOR ANY LEAKS, TEARS, OR VISIBLE
DAMAGE, AND ENSURE THE VALVES ARE IN GOOD WORKING
CONDITION.
NEXT, UNSCREW THE VALVE CAPS (A)(B). USE A MANUAL
OR ELECTRIC PUMP, MAKING SURE NOT TO EXCEED THE
RECOMMENDED PRESSURE (SEE BELOW). INFLATE THE FLOOR,
THE SIDE TUBES, AND THE THWARTS IF YOUR CANOE IS EQUIPPED
WITH THEM. ENSURE THE CAPS ARE TIGHTLY SCREWED ON TO
PREVENT ANY AIR LEAKAGE.
BENCHES
BEFORE INSTALLING THE WOODEN SEATS, INFLATE THE FLOOR
AND THE SIDE TUBES OF THE CANOE TO GIVE IT ITS SHAPE.
THIS ENSURES THAT THE SEATS ARE CORRECTLY POSITIONED
AND
SECURELY
FIXED
THE
CANOE
IS
FULLY
SELF-BAILING SOCK
THE RETRACTABLE SELF-BAILING SOCK IS AN ESSENTIAL FEATURE
DESIGNED TO MANAGE WATER DRAINAGE IN THE CANOE.
(C) LOW POSITION (SELF-BAILING MODE): WHEN THE SOCK
IS IN THE LOW POSITION, IT ALLOWS WATER TO DRAIN FROM
THE CANOE. THIS IS IDEAL FOR ROUGH CONDITIONS WHERE
WATER FREQUENTLY ENTERS THE CANOE, ENSURING IT REMAINS
BUOYANT AND STABLE.
(D) HIGH POSITION (NON-SELF-BAILING MODE): IN THE HIGH
POSITION, THE SOCK PREVENTS WATER FROM DRAINING. THIS IS
USEFUL IN CALM CONDITIONS WHERE IT IS PREFERABLE TO KEEP
THE INSIDE OF THE CANOE DRY, ENHANCING COMFORT AND
MAINTAINING A DRY ENVIRONMENT FOR THE OCCUPANTS.
TO MAINTAIN AND PROLONG THE LIFE OF THE RETRACTABLE SELF-
BAILING SOCK, IT IS IMPORTANT TO RINSE IT WITH FRESH WATER
AFTER EACH USE TO REMOVE DEBRIS AND SALT RESIDUES.

a
OPEN THE VALVE
CAP BY TURNING IT
COUNTERCLOCKWISE.
b
PUSH THE VALVE
BUTTON AND TURN
IT 90 DEGREES
COUNTERCLOCKWISE
SO IT POPS OUT AND
IS IN THE "OPEN"
POSITION.

THE SOCK ENSURES
CONTINUOUS
DRAINAGE OF WATER,
THUS PREVENTING
EXCESSIVE
ACCUMULATION THAT
COULD COMPROMISE
THE STABILITY OF THE
CANOE.

THE SOCK
BLOCKS WATER
ENTRY, WHICH
IS PARTICULARLY
ADVANTAGEOUS
WHEN NAVIGATING
IN CALM WATERS
WHERE STAYING
DRY IS THE PRIORITY.
