IMPORTANT WARNING INFLATING THE KAYAK
To enhance the enjoyment of your kayak and protect the safety of passengers and operator using the kayak, always strictly observe the following safety warning:
-This is not a life saving device. Use only under competent supervision. Never allow diving into this product. Never leave in or near the water when not in use. Never tow from any vehicle. Adult assembly and operation required.
-Adults should inflate the chambers in numbered.
Excessive inflating the kayak can cause the chambers to burst or cause damage to the welded seams. Not following the operator's instructions, which may detail important inflation and assembly sequences, can cause capsizing and drowning.
-Taking the kayaking safety course and get hands-on training from your kayak dealer or local kayaking authorities. Review all safety requirements regularly. Never navigate alone.
-A personal Flotation Device (PFD) is required for each passenger. It is especially important that children and non-swimmers wear a personal flotation device at all times. Children and non-swimmers need special instruction in the use of PFD.
-Be careful when stepping or climbing aboard the kayak. Step into the center of the kayak for maximum stability. Distribute the weight of passengers, gear, tackle box and accessories evenly so that the kayak sits even front to back and side and to side. Uneven distribution of persons or loads in the boat can cause capsizing and drowning.
-Do not use your kayak if you suspect a puncture or leak. It might be unsafe.
-WARNING:BEWARE OF OFFSHORE WINDS AND CURRENTS. These could be unsafe conditions.
-Follow these rules to avoid drowning, paralysis or other serious injuries.
-WARNING: It is the responsibility of the kayak operator to identify and obey all local and state laws pertaining to kayak safety and required safety equipment. Please consult your local authorities to ensure compliance.
-Do not allow unattended children in the kayak. Always make sure that at least one responsible adult is supervising all children and those who don't know how to swim at all times.
-Always maintain the proper kayak safety equipment in an easily accessible place in your kayak. Indicate clearly emergency phone numbers as well as safety advisories and rules (such as "No jumping or Diving")
-The total number of persons and total weight shall not exceed the information printed on the kayak. Do not exceed the maximum recommended capacities.
Exceeding the data given on the capacity plate can cause capsizing and drowning.
-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. Use printed ruler on the kayak to check the main chamber for proper inflation.
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.

INFLATING THE KAYAK INFLATING THE KAYAK
After the inflation adapter is assembled completely, you can inflate the kayak by number sequence. Do not over inflate. After inflating screw the valve cap A in clockwise direction by hand.
Fill each chamber until it is stiff. Measure the printed ruler to 10cm with the equipped hard ruler to check the main chamber for proper inflation.
Caution: Do not over inflate or use a high-pressure pump. The maximum pressure for air chamber.
= 0.15bar(2.18PSI) for chamber 1,2
= 0.10bar(1.45PSI) for chamber 3
Inflating:
- Unscrew the valve cap A, assemble the Inflation Adapter with inflating mouth B, air pressure meter and the air pump.
Caution: Do not over inflate, or use a high-pressure pump!
Deflating:
Remove the valve cap A, push down the deflation button C and turn the valve clockwise direction by 90° until its is locked, release the valve and the air will flow out. If you want to stop the deflation, push down the deflation button C and turn it in counter-clockwise direction by 90°. The deflation will stop when the valve is released.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE TROUBLE SHOOTING
Depending on the parts usage, keep some spare available, all parts suggest must consult local agent for factory authorized parts when servicing system.
Clean your kayak after a trip to prevent damage from sand, salt water or sun exposure. Use a garden hose washing the kayak and a sponge and mild soap can clean most dirt. Make sure the kayak is completely clean and dry before storing, otherwise the kayak will be mouldy.
Do not use solvents to clean the kayak, solvents may damage material or plastic components in system. Store all kayak accessories in a dry storage location with ventilation. Make sure that all parts are dry before storage.
You can store the kayak inflated or deflated.
- Choose a dry and cool place to store the kayak.
· Don't hang the kayak up. - Don't place any heavy or sharp objects on it.
The kayak is designed to be storable, seasonal kayak. If you live in a temperate area in which the kayak will not be in use all year-round, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to deflate the kayak and dry it thoroughly, and store it in a protected area for the off-season. This will help extend your kayak and prevent a safety hazard from developing while the kayak is not in use.
Warning:
Certain household cleaning solvents, chemicals and other liquids (such as battery acid, oil and petrol) could damage the PVS fabric. In the event of spill or mishandling, you should check for leaks and inspect for structural integrity.
DISASSEMBLY
- Remove all the accessories from the kayak: oars, repair-kit....
- Open all valves and deflate the kayak completely.
- Fold the kayak (make sure that the kayak is clean and dry. See the above Maintenance
& Storage chapter) - Put kayak and air pump, oars into carry bag for storage.
When you find the boat appears a bit soft, it might not definitely be because of a leak. Firstly you can check if valve caps are loose. If all valves are in good condition, you can consider if it is caused by temperature variation: If the boat was inflated in the day at higher temperature, say, 35 °C (95 °F), and air might cool down to 25 °C (7 7 °F) overnight, so that the pressure on the hull may lower down, and the boat will appear soft the next morning.
If valves and temperature variation are not the reasons, you need to start looking for a leak:
- Position the leak area: You can check your boat from a few feet away or flip it over and closely check over the outside. Any large leaks should be clearly visible.
- Pinpoint the location of the leak: spry mild soapy water over the suspicious areas. Any leak will produce bubbles.
- Check valves system for leak.
REPAIRS
Little holes or puncture can be repaired with the repair kit come along with the boat.
-
Find the leak.
-
Thoroughly clean the area surrounding the leak to remove any dirt or grime.
-
Cut a piece of repair material in round shape, which should be larger than the damaged area.
-
Using a piece of the repair kit, trace outline of the patch lightly.
-
Apply adhesive to the underneath side of the patch and around the area to be repaired. Coat the affected are lightly but completely with glue.
-
Put the patch on the damaged area and press down firmly.
-
Allow 12 hours for repair to dry. After patch has dried, apply glue around the edges for a complete seal (dry 4 hours).
