INFLATION TIPS
Use either a bellows style foot pump or two-way hand pump to inflate your kayak. Be sure that
the fitting on the pump hose fits snug in the valve on the kayak. NEVER USE COMPRESSORS,
CO2, OR COMPRESSED AIR AS THEY MAY DAMAGE YOUR KAYAK. The main chambers use
high-end military style, plunger valves (Push in and twist to activate the spring-loaded check
valve for inflating, or push-in and twist to lock open for deflating).
3.4 Over Inflation
CAUTION: Water temperature and weather will affect the air pressure of the kayak. In cold
weather and water your kayak will lose some pressure. If this occurs, you may want to add a
bit more air to the kayak to improve performance. In hot weather or prolonged sunlight, the air
inside the kayak will expand. You must let some air out of the appropriate chambers to prevent
the kayak from failing due to overpressure. You should avoid exposing your kayak to extreme
temperatures (hot or cold).
3.5 Deflation
1. Remove the cap from chamber 1.
2. Push stem inward and rotate to deflate position (See Figure 1).
3. Open twist valves on chambers 2 through 4.
4. Once the chamber is deflated you can use your pump to vacuum out any additional air for
improved folding. This requires a pump capable of deflating.
3.6 Folding
NOTICE: Reverse your pump to completely deflate all chambers.
1. Completely deflate all air chambers and thoroughly dry kayak and remove the seat
reversing your pump to pump out all the remaining air will make folding easier.
2. Remove plastic Bow and Stern forms and seat then lay kayak out flat.
