ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS / INFLATION

WARNING!

Do not use a sharp tool !

Any use of an air compressor will damage your product and automatically void all warranties.

Before inflating your kayak, fit the decking extension and the removable directional fin (POINTER K2).

DECKING EXTENSION

Insert the semi-rigid black plastic extension supplied with your kayak into the pockets under the bow decking, on the outer
hull on each side. The small red arrow on the sticker on the extension must point towards the bow of the kayak; this is
important, as the ends are cut obliquely to match the angle of the front decking.

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. 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 a Sevylor® inflator or any inflator designed for kayaks, 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 kayak.

1. Fix the directional fin to the bottom, folding the outer hull. Insert the ends of the fin into each of the holders provided

and tauten the outer hull as much as possible to secure it. This operation is not possible when the kayak has been
inflated. The curve of the fin must be towards the stern of the kayak.

2. Your kayak 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).

N.B.:

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): open the cap of the valve and inflate by using the adapter of the

inflator which fits the valve. Close the valve and press it into the air chamber.

3. Inflate the kayak in the order of inflation as shown on the capacity plate printed on the kayak (see also figure # 1 –

numbering of the valves). (*)

4. Max. air pressure:

the pressure in the side air chambers is 0.1 bar/1.5 PSI (= 100 mbar); the pressure in the

floor chamber is 0.06 bar/0.9 PSI (= 60 mbar). Do not exceed these pressure values.

Check the pressure using
