CAUTION! Do not use a sharp tool! For the first inflation and in order to get acquainted with your new product, inflate indoors at room temperature where the PVC will be soft and assembly process made easier. Any use of an air compressor will damage your product and automatically void all warranties. This manual below refers to a boat but also means kayak. If it was stored at a temperature below 0°C / 32°F, leave it at 20°C / 68°F for 12 hours before unfolding. Inflate it with the supplied pump or any inflator designed for inflatable boats, rafts, pool floats, air beds, camping mattresses, and other low pressure inflatables. These types of inflators will have a hose and adapters to fit the valves on this product. Choose a smooth and clean surface to unfold your product.

1. Your boat is equipped with two different types of valves:

a) Boston valve(s) – please see opposite figure: Unscrew the valve cap (1). Screw the valve insert (2) onto its base (3) and check that the valve cap stays accessible. Insert the pump hose end piece and inflate it until you will reach the required pressure (see point 3). After inflation fit all the valve(s) cap tight (clockwise). NOTICE: A slight air-leak before screwing the valve(s) cap is normal. Only the valve(s) cap can ensure final AIR TIGHTNESS. b) Push-in valve(s): pull the valve out slightly and remove the plug from the valve; inflate the chamber by using the adapter of the inflator which fits the valve. Close the valve and press it into the air chamber. Spray cover Inflatable seats

2. Inflate the kayak in the order of inflation as shown on the capacity plate printed on the product.

3. Max. air pressure: The correct pressure for this item is: 0,06 bar (= 60 mBar). Do not exceed it. Please check the pressure with the supplied pressure gauge (please refer to the “Instructions for the manometer”) Overpressure: deflate until you reach the recommended pressure. Drop of pressure: inflate again slightly.

4. Place the inflated seats (if removable) into the kayak.

WARNING! If you leave your product exposed to the hot sun check the pressure and deflate it slightly, otherwise the material might be overstretched. The ambient temperature affects the tube’s internal pressure: a variation of 1°C causes a variation of the pressure in the tube of +/- 4 mBar. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING ! USE THIS BOAT ONLY IN PROTECTED SHORE-ZONES, AVOID OPEN WATER AND STREAMS WITH STRONG CURRENTS! BEWARE OF OFFSHORE WINDS AND CURRENTS! Get informed on local regulations and hazards related to this sport or water activities. Before using the product, please check it carefully.

1. Remove oars/paddles and other accessories.

2. To deflate, unscrew the valves’ insert and open the valve cap of the push-in valve.

3. Clean and check the item as well as all the accessories after each use. Rinse it thoroughly making sure to remove any residues of salt if used in salt water. Use a mild soapy solution; do not use detergents or any type of silicone based products. Make sure the product is completely dry before putting it away. 4. Fold the 2 sides into the middle, then roll it up from the opposite end of the valves (so remaining air can escape from the valves); start again if you feel there is still some air in the tubes. 5. When storing your inflatable, keep it in a clean and dry place that is not affected from major variations in temperature and other damaging factors. You may store it deflated and rolled up in a bag or assembled and lightly inflated (make sure you do not subject it to deformations). Store it away from rodents.TALAMEX FUNLINE 200/240/280/310

You can repair small punctures with the included repair kit. Please note that in order for the repair to be successful, the humidity level should be less than 60%, temperature between 65° F/77° F or 18°C/25° C. Avoid carrying out repairs in the rain or in direct sunlight. To remove the inside bladder(s) please open the zippers on the inside of the canoe/kayak cover; each air chamber features a zipper at the bow and a zipper at the stern of the canoe/kayak for quick and easy access. Check that the tube is fully deflated and lies flat. 1. Draw the shape of the patch exactly where it will be applied, cut a round patch at least 2” / 5 cm larger than the cut/damaged area. 2. Clean the damaged area and the corresponding side of the patch with a grease remover of the alcohol type and allow for it to dry for 5 minutes. 3. Apply 3 thin layers of glue on both the patch and the damaged area, allow for it to dry for 5 minutes between layers until the glue feels tacky. 4. When the third layer of glue is dry, apply the patch without pressing and adjust the positioning if required, press the air bubbles which may have formed under the patch by smoothing the patch with a round object such as a spoon, do this procedure by starting in the center of the patch towards the outside, clean the excess glue with a solvent. Drying: 12 hours. WARNING ! Perform all of your repairs in a well -ventilated area Avoid inhaling glue vapors or swallowing.

Avoid contact with the skin or the eyes
