SAFETY WARNINGS
To enhance the enjoyment of your kayak and protect the safety of passengers and operators using
the kayak, always strictly observe the following safety warnings:
• This is not a life saving device. Use only under competent supervision. Never allow diving into or
from this product. Never leave in or near the water when not in use. Never tow with any vehicle. Adult
assembly and operation required.
• An adult should inflate the chambers in numbered order.
• Excessive inflation of the kayak can cause the chambers to burst or cause damage to the welded
seams. Not following the operator’s instructions, which may detail important inflation and assembly
sequences, can cause capsizing and drowning.
• Take a kayaking safety course and get hands-on training from your kayak dealer or local kayaking
authorities. Review all safety requirements regularly. Never navigate alone.
• A Personal Flotation Device (PFD) is required for each passenger. It is especially important that
children and non-swimmers wear a personal flotation device at all times. Children and non-swimmers
may need special instruction in the use of PFD.
• Be careful when stepping or climbing aboard the kayak. Step into the center of the kayak for
maximum stability. Distribute the weight of passengers, gear and accessories evenly so that the
kayak sits even front to back and side and to side. Uneven distribution of persons or loads in the
boat can cause capsizing and drowning.
• Do not use your kayak if you suspect a puncture or leak. It may be unsafe.
• WARNING: BEWARE OF OFFSHORE WINDS AND CURRENTS. These could be unsafe conditions.
• Follow these rules to avoid drowning, paralysis or other serious injuries.
• WARNING: It is the responsibility of the kayak operator to identify and obey all local and state laws
pertaining to kayak safety and required safety equipment. Please consult your local authorities to
ensure compliance.
• Do not allow unattended children in the kayak. Always make sure that at least one responsible adult
is supervising all children and those who don’t know how to swim at all times.
• Always maintain the proper kayak safety equipment in an easily accessible place in your kayak.
Indicate clearly emergency phone numbers as well as safety advisories and rules (such as “No
jumping or Diving”)
• The total number of persons and total weight shall not exceed the information printed on the kayak.
Do not exceed the maximum recommended capacities. Exceeding the data given on the capacity
plate can cause capsizing and drowning.
