THANK SAFETYYOU! 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.
INFLATING THE KAYAK • Select a clean area free of stones, gravel, sticks or other sharp objects. • Unfold the kayak so that it’s laid out flat and locate your pump. • Use a hand or foot operated air pump to inflate the kayak. DO NOT use high-pressure air compressors. It’s very important to follow the numbered sequence when inflating: failure to do so will result in an improperly inflated kayak. Fill each chamber until it is firm. Use printed ruler on the kayak to check the main chamber for proper inflation.

Store all kayak accessories in a dry storage location with ventilation. Make sure that all parts are dry before storage.
TROUBLE SHOOTING If the boat ever appears a bit soft, it might not be because of a leak. First, check to make sure the valve caps are not loose. If all valves are in good condition, consider if the cause may by temperature variation: if the boat was inflated during the day when the temperature is higher, i.e. 95º F (35º C), and the air cooled down overnight, i.e. 77º F (25º C), the pressure on the hull can drop and the boat will appear soft the next morning.
