REMOVABLE FIN
•
Fitting of the fin is recommended whenever you use your kayak in deep water (lake, sea, etc.), where it helps
keep the kayak in a straight line. Fitting of the fin is not recommended for use in shallow water or white water.
The fin would be likely to damage the bottom of the kayak in shallow water and would reduce manoeuvrability
in white water. The bow and stern lines of the kayak have been designed to ensure good handling without
the fin.
•
We recommend to add your fin before inflation and remove it after inflation.
•
To attach, slide fin into slot on bottom of kayak
3) INFLATION
Inflatable kayak Kangui is provided with a hand pump double action (inflation up and down), equipped with
a nozzle pipe fitting valve in the back. We advise you to flex your knees for a better comfort while inflating.
!
Any use of a high-pressure compressor is prohibited,
Kayak could suffer damaged irreparable
and unguaranteed.
Do not use a sharp tool !
•
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.
Any use of an air compressor will damage your product and automatically void all warranties.
•
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 an inflator from Kangui or any inflator designed for inflatable boats, rafts, 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 product.
1 – Your kayak is equipped with three Boston valves
1.1 – please see opposite figure: Unscrew the valve cap (1).
1.2 – 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).
NOTICE: A slight air-leak before screwing the valve(s) cap is normal.
Only the valve(s) cap can ensure final AIR TIGHTNESS.
2 – Inflate the kayak in the order of inflation as shown on the capacity plate printed on the product.
3 – Max. air pressure : The correct pressure for this item is : 0,1 bar / 1,5 PSI (= 100 mbar). Do not exceed
it. Please check the pressure with the supplied pressure gauge (please refer to the “Instructions for the
manometer”) Overpressure : deflate until you reach the recommended pressure. Drop of pressure : inflate
again slightly.
!
If you leave your product exposed to the hot sun check the pressure and deflate it slightly,
otherwise the material might be overstretched. The ambient temperature affects the tube’s
internal pressure: a variation of 1°C causes a variation of the pressure in the tube of +/- 4
mBar.
