Assembling Instruction - Triton Ladoga 2 advanced
Dear Customer,
At first: please do not be alarmed by the extent of these instructions!
The assembling instructions are very detailed and almost every step is illustrated. You will notice that it
will help you at one point or another. After a few times and with a little practice you won’t need the
manual anymore.
You have purchased a Ladoga 2 advanced - a powerful kayak with extremely high stability and
stiffness, which was awarded among others by “Kanu-Magazin” with the "Super Tip".
The Ladoga 2 advanced has been one of the best-selling folding kayaks in Europe in recent years.
The body stiffness results from the high structural performance of the frame; on the other hand the hull
is designed to fit the frame perfectly. This is why the first few setups are power intensive, since frame
and skin have to adapt to another (the hull expands a bit while/after assembling the first couple of
times). The assembling gets then easier each time.
Please take your time for the first assembling to learn about the special features. It is strongly
recommended following the single steps in the instructions carefully! Otherwise, it will be
unnecessarily difficult. After some practice you will build it up without much hassle in about 30
minutes. Always keep in mind that no one is born a master, and the individual assembling has to be
learned for each folding boat. As a "reward" of the assembling you get a fast and stiff touring kayak,
which is characterized by excellent handling and a strong hull!
