Dear Customer, Congratulations on the recent purchase of your new Sun Dolphin kayak manufactured by KL Industries! You have purchased a kayak from one of the nation’s leading manufacturers of small boats. Your kayak represents years of commitment to product design, excellence in engineering and quality in manufacturing. With proper care and maintenance, your kayak should last for many years to come.
Security Measures Warning R ead the following information before using your kayak. Failure to follow the warning precautions below may lead to serious injury including the possibility of death. Never exceed the maximum weight capacity. Never exceed your ability: Access your physical capability as to how long you can paddle and swim. Make sure drain plug is secure.
Material Your kayak is manufactured from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). It is a very durable material. Our specially formulated HDPE has an ultra-violet inhibitor blended throughout the material to reduce color fade and maintain its strength. Polyethylene is a somewhat flexible material with some memory. This means it has a tendency to return to its original molded shape if distorted. All boats are equipped with foam for flotation.
BEFORE LEAVING THE SHORE Make sure your drain plug is secure. Passengers should always wear a Personal Flotation Device. Check for wind conditions, currents or wave conditions that would make it difficult to paddle back. Always let someone know of your boating plans, your boating location, and when you expect to return. CARE AND MAINTENANCE Your kayak is designed to require minimal maintenance, and a little timely care will ensure a lifetime of enjoyment.
STORAGE • Store your kayak on its side. Do not store your boat on its hull. •T o protect your kayak, provide shelter from sun using a tarp suspended above the boat. To prevent excessive heat build-up, do not cover boat with tarp laying directly on its surface. Leave adequate air space to allow for air circulation. • If possible, it is best to store your kayak inside for the winter. • Don’t allow water to accumulate between the deck and hull and freeze. Freezing damages the flotation foam.
