Proper Use Instructions The kayak is intended for use on near-shore waters (protected shore area up to 1,000 feet) and on calm rivers or lakes. It is designed for paddling as a hobby or leisure activity and is not suitable for sports purposes, extended tours or white-water kayaking. The total load (people and luggage) must not exceed a maximum of 200 lb.
Using the Dry Storage Compartment IMPORTANT: Roll the top edge of the dry bag over a couple times before fastening the buckles. This compartment will stay reasonably dry under normal circumstances. However, please note that water may leak into this storage bag if the kayak is tipped upside down or is left out in strong rain. Do not store valuable articles in this bag if they must stay dry. Deflating and Storing your Kayak IMPORTANT: Let the kayak dry completely before deflating and storing.
Step 4 Disassemble the oar into 7 pieces (2 paddle ends, 3 aluminum cylinders, 2 couplers) and place them in the bottom of the carrying bag. Step 5 Place rolled up kayak on top of the paddle, the hand pump along one end and lastly the backrest on top. By following these instructions, everything should fit nicely in the nylon storage bag. Step 6 Once everything is in the bag it can be zipped up for easy transportation.
Cleaning and Storage When the kayak is not being used, it is recommended that you store it in its carrying bag. Clean the kayak completely with a mild soap and fresh water. NEVER USE PETROLEUM BASED PRODUCTS OR SOLVENTS FOR CLEANING. Kayak should be completely dry and remain dry while stored. Roll the kayak loosely and place in the vented storage bag. Store in a cool, dry location. Do not store kayak directly on concrete surface.
Repairs Additional repair patches can be purchased at www.ravesports.com. For Minor Holes or Tears: Deflate bladder and remove it from the kayak cover. Inflate the product and locate the leak by spraying or wiping with mild soapy water or by dunking it under water. Air bubbles will form and grow at the position of air leakage. Mark location of leakage. Cut a patch larger than the diameter of the hole. Make sure all corners of the patch are rounded.
