The
Incept K40S
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.
ASSEMBLY
•
INFLATE
The main inflation valves are in the 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 seat into the cockpit (4 snaps). Inflate by mouth and twist the
valves closed.
Inflate the
back-rest
as hard as possible. Inflate the seat
cushion
very soft,
almost flaccid,
for comfort, support and for getting the paddler weight
low.
