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).
4. Max. air pressure: The correct pressure for this item is : 0.1 bar/1.5 PSI (= 100 mbar) ) for side chambers,
0.06 bar/0.9 PSI (= 60 mbar) for bottom chamber. 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 slightly.
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 in the raised area; the raised area and the lower part of the seat have hook-
and-loop strips for easy adjustment.
