Intended Use

This article has been designed for private use. Area of use: Protected shoreline up to 300m - for journeys in protected coastal waters, small bays, on small lakes, narrow rivers and canals. Do not use in windy conditions above Beaufort Scale 4 or with a wave height of over 0.5m.

Code of Conduct / afety Notice

This kayak is a tested and safe piece of water sports equipment. We urgently ask you to comply with the following rules and regulations:

WARNING!

Your care and self-assessment on the water is extremely important. Never over-estimate your power and steering skills! Remain close to the shore! Keep a constant eye on the weather, storm warnings and possible flare signals!

WARNING!

Please always follow the safety regulations and laws applicable to lakes and open water, and for your own safety, always wear a tested life-vest.

WARNING!

Danger of suffocation for children! Never allow children to play unsupervised with the packaging materials, or the article itself.

WARNING!

If a person happens to have fallen over-board, their rescue must take place via the front or rear of the craft. Re-entry at the side can cause the craft to capsize.

Danger of Injury!

Caution by offshore winds! Caution by offshore currents!

• Please note that the weight of the occupants of the craft as well as the luggage must be uniformly distributed otherwise the kayak can capsize.
• Follow the information on the type plate regarding the permitted weight allowance and number of occupants as well as the warning information.
  • Always keep to the local navigation regulations.
• Do not carry any sharp or pointed objects.
• The kayak should be protected against contact with dubious liquids or acids to avoid irreparable damage.
• Protect the kayak against heat and fire! Take care with lit cigarettes!
• Make sure you do not run aground on stony subsoil to avoid damage to the underside of the kayak.
• Should damage to one of the five inner chambers occur whilst afloat, do not abandon the kayak. The floatation force of the four intact inner chambers is sufficient to maintain the kayak safely on the water.
• Never transport the kayak in vehicles when inflated.
• Never leave your unoccupied kayak on the water. It can be swept away faster than you can swim after it.

• Always carry the paddle with you when using the kayak otherwise you will not be able to maneuver it.
- Do not attempt to make any technical changes to your kayak. Changes of any kind endanger the operation of the sports device.
- Never use your kayak under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medicinal products.
- Never overestimate your own strength and divide your muscular strength with the paddle in such a way that the distance you have paddled away from the shore can be easily paddled back again. Stay in protected coastal areas, no more than 300m away, and pay attention to varying winds and currents which can complicate your movement.

Minimising Damage!

• All inflatable articles are sensitive to cold. This article should never be unfolded and inflated at a temperature under 15^ !
• If the atmospheric pressure increases under the blazing sun, this must be compensated by releasing some air from the craft.
• Pay attention to the fact that the article – particularly in its inflated state – does not come into contact with stones, gravel or sharp objects, and that it is not dragged or pulled along the ground because this can damage the kayak's skin.
• Only insert suitable pump adaptors into the valve. The wrong type of pump adaptor can damage the valve.
• Do not over-inflate - this can result in the danger of the seams bursting. Seal all valves securely after inflating.
• Avoid contact with sharp, hot, pointed or dangerous objects.

Assembly

Assembly should be carried out by two adults, on account of the kayak's size. Please follow the individual steps of the assembly instructions in the correct order.

This is particularly important when inflating the five air chambers because incorrect pressure distribution can lead to kayak instability and to the interference of its handling characteristics.

1. Select a smooth, clean surface with sufficient space to unpack and unfold the kayak.
   Make sure that all of the individual parts are present and in a flawless state.
2. From the second assembly onwards, the kayak should be checked for possible damage.
   Inspect for holes and tears, and seal any that you find, as described later. You cannot repair any damage once you are afloat.

Assembling the double paddle (Fig. E)

Note:

The paddle can be converted into a single blade paddle by removing the paddle centre section for when 2 occupants are present.

- First push both drip-rings over both ends of the paddle tubes so that they sit below the push button on the taper of the pipe. Then connect both paddle tubes with the centre section so that both push buttons engage audibly and visibly.

Assembling the Screw Valve (Fig. F)

The upper side chambers of the kayak ⑦ ⑤ are each equipped with a threaded opening for the attached screw valve.

Pull the loop A of the valve over the threaded opening B to that it is firmly placed in the groove intended for it. This process requires sensitivity and patience, however, this must be carried out carefully so that there is no chance of the valve coming free of the opening later on.

Now turn the base ⓒ firmly in a clockwise direction into the threaded opening.

Inflating

WARNING!

• Follow these directions in the correct, consecutive order when inflating the air chambers.
• The recommended operating pressure is 0.05 bar (= 50 mbar = 0.73 psi).
• Avoid excessive inflating of the air chambers to prevent the danger of the material stretching or the seams tearing.
• Use a standard foot pump for inflating the article or a double stroke piston pump with the corresponding connection and a manometer if necessary.
• Do not use a compressor or a compressed air bottle to inflate the article because this can cause article damage.
  • Always completely inflate all of the air chambers.

Inflation Sequence (Fig. G)

Inflate the air chambers in the following sequence:

1. ① Floor chamber with stopper valve
2. ①ower side chamber with stopper valve
3. Upper side chamber with screw valve
4. ④ lower side chamber with stopper valve
5. Upper side chamber with screw valve
   □ = as marked on the boat

Monitoring the Operating Pressure IMPORTANT!

The PVC material will stretch a little following initial inflation and will never return to its original size.

Please remember that this data can vary slightly, depending on the cargo it is carrying and the outside temperature.

Pump up the air chambers 1/2 that they feel firm to the touch and no wrinkles can be seen in the material. Press on each air chamber with your thumb; you should just about be able to press the material in slightly.

Measuring Strips and Monitoring Ruler (Fig. H, I)

To monitor the air chamber operating pressure, place the 0 of the monitoring ruler (fig. I) over the of the measuring strip (fig. H) on the article.

During initial inflation, the maximum stretch point MUST NOT exceed Position A on the monitoring ruler.

From the second use onwards, pump up the craft so that the 10 on the measuring strip is between Position A and Position 10 of the monitoring ruler.

Inflating the Air Chambers (Fig. J)

① Floor chamber with stopper valve ②/④ Lower side chamber with stopper valve

1. Open the valve closure A.
2. Pump up each air chamber.
3. Close the valve closure and press the sealed valve down using a little pressure.

3/5 Upper side chamber with screw valve

1. Inflate the upper side chambers ⑦ and seal the closure cap (Fig. F) by screwing in a clockwise direction.

Front seat, Rear splash guard with seat, Prow splash guard, Triangular cushion (Fig. K-N)

Note:

The ropes must be tied using a reef knot and a figure-of-eight hitch knot (Fig. K, L)

1. Front seat (Fig. M, N)

Pump up all of the air chambers. Place the seat underneath both of the upper side air chambers ①/②so that the seat is securely fitted. Tie the seat using the 80cm rope through the eyelet on the floor chamber ①(Fig. M) as well as with a 150cm rope in a zig-zag shape through the eyelets on the side chambers ②and (Fig. N).

2. Rear splash guard with seat

Pump up all of the air chambers. Press the seat underneath both of the upper side air chambers ③/④so that the seat is securely fitted. Fasten the rear splash guard with seat with a 280cm rope in a zig-zag shape through the eyelets on the side chambers ⑤ and ⑥

3. Prow splash guard

Pump up all of the air chambers and fasten the prow splash guard with a 280cm rope in a zig-zag shape to the eyelets on the side chambers ③ and ⑤

4. Triangular cushion

Position the triangular cushion securely in the prow of the kayak. It is there to serve as a foot-rest for then person sitting at the front.

Dismantling the Kayak

Remove the front seat, the rear splash guard with seat, the prow splash guard and the triangular cushion.

Deflating

Deflate the kayak as follows:

1. To deflate the floor chamber ①, the lower side chambers ②, the front seat, the rear splash guard with seat, and the prow splash guard, pull the stopper valve out of

its concealed location and press the shaft lightly or use the deflation tube.

1. To deflate the side chambers ⚙️ screw the valves completely from their base mountings.

Kit bag

A kit bag is included with this article in which the kayak is stowed away for transport and storage. In order to close this, please use the 200cm rope. The kit bag is also useful when afloat for the splash-proof safekeeping of provisions, clothes etc. Please remember that this bag is not watertight. For this reason, do not store sensitive objects in it, for example, cameras. For use aboard it is advisable to remove the rope and to flatten and roll up the upper end, closing it when necessary with the hook and loop fastener.

Storage bag

A splash-proof storage bag is also included ^15 which can be attached to the back of the front seat using the hook and loop fastener. Small objects can be stowed away here to keep them dry but please remember that this bag too is not completely watertight. Please do not store sensitive objects here.

Transport

Always transport the kayak with two adults and use the carrying straps at the front and back of the craft.

Care / Maintenance / Storage

WARNING!

Only use care products that do not contain traces of acids or petroleum and never use silicone-based products.

1. Clean your kayak thoroughly after every use with fresh water and mild soap to remove salt crystals, sandy granules and other small dirt particles. Leave it to dry completely.

2. Lay both of the upper side pipes into the inside of the kayak and fold them together carefully.

3. Store your kayak in a clean and dry place away from direct sunlight and somewhere where there are no great temperature fluctuations. Pay attention to the fact, that the kayak is not wrinkled but lays flat, and keep well out of the reach of rodents.

Repairs

WARNING!

You should not attempt to repair large damaged sections by yourself.

You can repair small areas with the enclosed repair kit.

1. Deflate the kayak completely and clean the area to be repaired with an alcohol-based solution. Roughen up the damaged area surrounding the hole or tear with a fine sand paper.
2. Cut a patch to cover the damaged area. The patch should overlap the damaged area by at least 1.25cm on all sides.
3. Apply the glue to the kayak as well as to the patch. Allow to dry for approx. 3 minutes.
4. Press the patch down firmly using a soft object. Make sure that you are working on a flat, even surface. Remove any air bubbles with a rounded object, gently pushing the bubbles in an outward direction.
5. Always wait at least 12 hours after a repair before pumping up the kayak once again.
