1. Inate chamber 1 until the AdvancedFrame® Sport tube is rm to touch (2 psi ONLY).
2. Inate chamber 2 “oor” (using appropriate ing) twist valve open to inate and twist
closed when complete. Fill until rm. Donotover-inate! (1.0 psi ONLY).

5. Finally, Insert Plastic Bow and Stern forms into pocket on bow and stern.
CAUTION: Water temperature and weather will aect the air pressure of the kayak. In cold
weather your boat will lose some pressure as the air inside contracts. If this occurs, you may want
to add a bit more air to improve your kayak’s performance. However in hot weather, or prolonged
direct sunlight, the air inside 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).
