CARE
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE:
Use warm soapy water or light abrasive cleanser to remove dirt and stains.
Periodically clean and if necessary lubricate the zippers with a silicone spray.
Remove sand and gravel which may accumulate between the floor and the sponsons.
Lubricate control lines
with silicone where they pass through guides.
Wipe the boat with 303 Protectant to restore lustre and keep your kayak looking new.
FOLDING / STOWING:
To stow the boat, remove the rudder, cockpit coaming rods, curved deck battens and seats.
Before storing, inflate the kayak,
fit the valve caps
and wash with fresh water.
Dry thoroughly:
- with sponsons inflated and floor slack, lift off the ground with the bow
and stern supported until dry particularly in the sandflap (between floor and sponsons).
Storing wet will result in mildew and possibly permanent stains.
Open the inflation valves with a simple press down / quarter turn.
Fold the boat as in the diagram above.

The
Incept K50D
inflatable sea kayak is constructed from a heavy duty and light weight
Polyurethane alloy boat material designed for Incept’s back-packable wilderness boats. It has
1100 dtex Polyester reinforcing, is exceptionally strong and hard wearing, and is protected
to withstand New Zealand’s extreme UV exposure.

INFLATE
The main inflation valves are in the rear cockpit and operated by pressing
down the internal stem and twisting a quarter turn. When the stem holds
down the valve is open. Release the stem to close the valve for inflation.
The protective caps prevent the entry of gravel and dirt.
Close the inflation valves
and inflate the three air chambers (sponsons
and floor). If you find the pump nozzle is a loose fit, use the blue adapter
in the pump bag.
Pump
hard enough to blow the three relief valves. Fit the valve caps.

RUDDER
Set the rudder-raise control to the home
position (rudder down) in the jamcleat at left
(port) of the rear cockpit.
Fit the rudder and attach the three control
lines.
Be sure the rudder pin is pushed fully into
place,
required for transmitting the steering
action.
If the plastic connecting nuts are given a half-
dozen counter twists beforehand, line twisting
will be minimised.

SEATS
Clip the seats into the cockpits (4 snaps each). Inflate by mouth, twisting
the valves closed.
Inflate the
back-rests
as hard as possible. Inflate the seat
cushions
very
soft,
almost flaccid,
for comfort and for getting the paddler weight low.
