INFLATION
START BY PLACING YOUR PACKRAFT 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.
UNSCREW THE CAPS OF THE VALVES (A)(B). USE A PUMP, AN
INFLATION TUBE, OR AN INFLATION BAG. IF YOU ARE USING
A PUMP, CONNECT IT AND PUMP UNTIL THE PACKRAFT IS WELL
INFLATED. IF YOU ARE USING AN INFLATION BAG, ATTACH IT TO
ONE OF THE VALVES, FILL IT WITH AIR, THEN PRESS THE BAG TO
TRANSFER THE AIR INTO THE PACKRAFT. REPEAT THIS PROCESS
UNTIL THE PACKRAFT IS PROPERLY INFLATED. IF YOU ARE USING
AN INFLATION TUBE, BLOW REGULARLY AND FIRMLY TO AVOID
DIZZINESS AND ALLOW FOR EFFECTIVE INFLATION.
WARNING: DO NOT USE A COMPRESSOR. THIS WILL
VOID THE WARRANTY.
MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED PRESSURE:
2 PSI (0.14 Bar)
THIGH BRACE
THE THIGH BRACES ON YOUR PACKRAFT ARE DESIGNED
TO
PROVIDE
MORE
NAVIGATING.
THEY
ATTACH
METAL
CARABINERS,
ENSURING
WELL-POSITIONED
AND
PLACE THE THIGH BRACES AROUND YOUR THIGHS, ENSURING
THEY ARE PROPERLY ALIGNED. USE THE BUCKLES TO SECURE THE
THIGH BRACES IN PLACE. ONCE ADJUSTED, GENTLY PULL ON THE
THIGH BRACES TO ENSURE THEY ARE SECURELY FASTENED. BEFORE
EACH OUTING, CHECK THE CONDITION OF THE CARABINERS.

YOUR
SECURED
ON
THE
ENSURE THAT ALL VALVES ARE SECURELY CLOSED TO PREVENT AIR
LEAKS. ONCE YOUR PACKRAFT IS FULLY INFLATED, CHECK THE
PRESSURE BY LIGHTLY PRESSING ON THE TUBES AND THE FLOOR
TO ENSURE THEY ARE FIRM ENOUGH FOR SAFE NAVIGATION.
SKEG (FIN)
WHILE
USING
LEGS
ARE
PACKRAFT.
THE SKEG (FIN) IMPROVES STEERING AND PADDLING EFFICIENCY
ON PACKRAFTS, ESPECIALLY IN CALM AND SHALLOW WATERS. IT
REDUCES THE TENDENCY TO TURN INWARD, WHICH IS COMMON
WHEN THE BOW IS LIGHTLY LOADED, AND INCREASES STABILITY
IN WHITEWATER WITH ADEQUATE DEPTH.
TO INSTALL THE SKEG, FIRST INSERT THE GUIDE INTO ONE SIDE
OF THE SLOT (A), THEN INSERT THE SECOND GUIDE INTO THE
OTHER SIDE (B). ENSURE THAT THE SKEG IS SECURELY FASTENED
BEFORE USING THE PACKRAFT. PROPER INSTALLATION ENSURES
SAFE NAVIGATION.
