3.4 Over Inflation
CAUTION : Water temperature and weather will affect the air pressure of the kayak. In cold
weather and water your kayak will lose some pressure. If this occurs, you may want to add a
bit more air to the kayak to improve performance. In hot weather or prolonged sunlight, the air
inside the kayak will expand. You must let some air out of the appropriate chambers to prevent
the kayak from failing due to overpressure. You should avoid exposing your kayak to extreme
temperatures (hot or cold).
3.5 Deflation
1. Remove the caps from chamber 1 and 2.
2. Push the stem inward and rotate to the deflate position. Do this on both valves.
3. Twist the valve bodies open on chambers 3 and 4 to release the air.
4. Once the chambers are deflated you can use your pump to vacuum out any additional air for
improved folding.
3.6 Folding
NOTICE: Reverse your pump to completely deflate all chambers.
1. Completely deflate all air chambers and thoroughly dry the kayak and remove the seat.
2. Fold sides A and B inward.
3. Fold Bow and Stern
sections inward
(C and D).
4. Fold Bow section
again in the same
direction (E).
5. Fold again at line (F).
6. Place into duffel bag.
