Removable Fin; Adjustable Inflatable Bucket Seats; Drainage System; Operating Instructions - Sevylor WABASH Manual De Utilización

2. Your kayak is equipped with :
a) Boston valve(s) and mini Boston valve (please see opposite figure) for inflating
bottom and side chambers. Unscrew the valve cap (1). Screw the valve insert (2)
onto its base (3) and check that the valve cap stays accessible. Insert the pump
hose end piece and inflate it until you will reach the required pressure (see point 3).
After inflation fit all the valve(s) cap tight (clockwise).
N.B.: A slight air-leak before screwing the valve(s) cap is normal. Only the
valve(s) cap can ensure final AIR TIGHTNESS.
b) Mini double-lock valve(s) for inflating seats. See drawing on page 2: Open the
valve (A). To begin inflation, open external stopper and pull to extend out (B). Insert nozzle of inflation device into
the extended valve and turn on or begin pumping (C). To close valve: push in with inflation device until stopper
has been depressed, sealing internal stopper (D). Remove device and close external stopper. Valve should
appear depressed into itself (E).
3．Inflate the kayak in the order of inflation as shown on the capacity plate printed on the kayak (see also figure # 1 –
numbering of the valves). The side chambers (2) must each first be inflated to 50%. Then complete inflation to the
recommended pressure in each
4．Max. air pressure: The correct pressure for this item is : 0.1 bar/1.5 PSI (= 100 mbar). Do not exceed it. Check
the pressure using the pressure gauge (**) supplied with your kayak. Overpressure: deflate until you reach the
recommended pressure. Drop of pressure: inflate again
If you leave your product exposed to the hot sun check the pressure and deflate it slightly, otherwise the
material might be overstretched.
The ambient temperature affects the tube's internal pressure: a variation of 1° C causes a variation of the pressure in
the tube of +/- 4 mbar.

REMOVABLE FIN

Fitting of the fin is recommended whenever you use your kayak in deep water (lake, sea, etc.), where it helps keep the
kayak in a straight line. Fitting of the fin is not recommended for use in shallow water or white water. The fin would be
likely to damage the bottom of the kayak in shallow water and would reduce manoeuvrability in white water. The bow and
stern lines of the kayak have been designed to ensure good handling without the fin.

ADJUSTABLE INFLATABLE BUCKET SEATS

The bucket seat can be adjusted to meet your needs. Adjust the belt lengths using the buckles at each end. You can also
adjust the position of the seat by moving it along the hook-and-loop strips and placing it according to the
TM
SEATOGRAPHY printed on the floor.

DRAINAGE SYSTEM

Your kayak is equipped with a drainage system. The system comprises orifice(s) with plug(s); it prevents the lower part of
the body getting wet when the kayak is used in calm water. It may be a little difficult to insert the plug in a drain orifice.
The tight fit retains the plug until it is removed, for example when the kayak is to be used in white water.
The self-draining bottom is a considerable advantage in white water: it allows rapid removal of water from inside the
kayak and thus improves its performance; it is also an additional safety feature, as a kayak filled with water is difficult to
manoeuvre.
Note: Before inflating your kayak, you can either close the drainage orifice(s) to stay dry, or open it/them to allow water
drainage.
