This product has been developed for private use. Range of application: Protected shore zones up to 300m - for travel in protected coastal waters, small bays, on small lakes, narrow rivers and canals. Do not use in wind forces greater than 4 and/or waves higher than 0.5m.

Safety instructions

Danger to life!

• Never leave children unsupervised with the packaging material. Risk of suffocation.
• Never let children play with the product without supervision.

Risk of injury!

Beware of offshore winds! Beware of offshore currents!

• Make sure that people and cargo are always distributed evenly in the kayak to avoid the risk of capsizing.
• Pay attention to the information on the nameplate, permissible load capacity, and number of people, as well as the warning instructions.
• Always comply with local navigation regulations.

• Do not bring any sharp or pointed objects on board.

• The kayak should be protected against contact with any questionable liquids or acids. This can cause irreparable damage.

• Protect the kayak from heat and fire! Be careful with lit cigarettes!
• To avoid damage to the hull, make sure that the kayak does not run onto rocky ground.
• Should damage occur to one of the five internal chambers while you are on the water, under no circumstances must you abandon the kayak. The buoyancy of the four intact internal chambers is sufficient to keep the kayak safely above water.
• Under no circumstances should the inflated kayak be transported by vehicle.
• Never leave your kayak in the water unoccupied. It will drift away faster than it can be reached by swimming.
• Before using always make sure that you have the paddles with you since you may otherwise not be able to manoeuvre the kayak properly.
• Do not make any technical modifications to your kayak. Modifications of any kind put operation of the kayak at risk.
• Never use your kayak when under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medications.
• Never overestimate your strength and when paddling conserve the strength in your muscles in such a way that you can easily paddle back again over the distance you have covered. Stay in sheltered shore areas within 300m and beware of changing winds and currents that may make it significantly harder for you to navigate.

WARNING!

Your caution and self-awareness when on the water are extremely important. Never overestimate your strength and navigational skills! Always stay close to shore! Be aware of what the weather conditions are and pay attention to storm warnings or any flares!

WARNING!

Please always comply with the safety regulations and the current local provisions for lakes and open bodies of water, and for your own safety always wear a certified life jacket.

WARNING!

Avoid using sunscreen and skin care products containing alcohol. Sunscreen and skin care products containing alcohol can cause the colour coating of this PVC inflatable product to peel. This can lead to stains on your body, your clothing and other objects that are in contact.

WARNING!

If someone falls overboard they should always climb back on board via the bow or the stern because there is a high risk of capsizing when trying to board from the sides.

Avoiding material damage!

• All inflatables are susceptible to cold. For this reason never unfold and inflate the product at a temperature lower than 15^ !
• In the event that the air pressure increases in the hot sun, it must be balanced accordingly by letting out air.
• Make sure that the product, especially when inflated, does not come into contact with stones, gravel, or sharp objects and does not rub or scrape against anything as this can cause damage to the plastic foil.
• Use only the correct pump adapters to insert into the safety valves. The valves might otherwise be damaged.
• Do not over-inflate because you then risk tearing open the welded seams. Close the valves properly after inflating.
• Avoid contact with sharp, hot, pointed, or dangerous objects.

Assembly

Follow the individual assembly steps in the order indicated. If the correct sequence for inflating the five air chambers is not followed the pressure may be distributed unevenly. This can lead to instability of the kayak and adversely affect its handling characteristics.

Note: The side of the kayak with the 3 screw-on valves is the stern side (1f). The opposite side (without screw-on valves) is the bow side (1g) (fig. A).

• Assembly should always be performed by two adults because of the product's size.
• Select a smooth and clean surface with enough space to unfold the kayak. Check that all the individual parts are present and in good order and condition.
• When assembling the kayak for the second and subsequent times, you should inspect for any possible damage, holes, and tears and these should be sealed as described in the section "Repairs". Once you are on the water it is no longer possible to remedy any damage.
• Do not over-inflate the air chambers so as not to over-stretch the plastic foil.
• Make sure that the inflated kayak does not come into contact with stones or other sharp objects and become damaged.

Assembling the 2-way screw-on valve (fig. H)

The floor chambers and the upper side chambers 3 of the kayak are all provided with a threaded opening for the screw-on valves (10).

1. Pull the loop (10a) of the valve over the threaded opening (1c) so that it loops tightly around the edge of the threaded opening.
2. Turn the base (10b) clockwise into the threaded opening.

Inflation

WARNING!

- Follow the correct sequence when inflating the air chambers. The correct sequence is indicated on the kayak and in the instructions for use (No. 1). 5

• The recommended operating pressure is 0.05bar (= 50mbar = 0.73psi).
• Avoid inflating the air chambers too much because there is the risk of over-stretching the welded seams or even tearing them open.
• To inflate the product use standard commercial foot pumps or double-stroke piston pumps with matching adapter attachments and where applicable a pressure gauge.
• Do not use a compressor or compressed air bottle to inflate the product. This can lead to damage to the product.
  • Always inflate all air chambers fully.
