then screw the adaptor down to secure it. Inate the two boom side chambers partially,
approx 5 pumps.
2. Locate the valves for the two top side chambers. These valves operate the same as the boom
side chambers. Inate the two chambers partially, approx 5 pumps.
3. Once you have partially inated the main chambers, move to the rear thwart and inate it
until rm (2.0 psi ONLY). Do not over inate! As you are inating the rear thwart, make sure
the boom of the thwart is as even as possible with the oor of the kayak. Also, make sure
the main chambers are remaining alongside the thwart and not pressing under the thwart.
4. Move to the front thwart and inate it until rm (2.0 psi ONLY). Do not over inate! As you
are inating the front thwart, follow the same guidelines as the rear thwart.
5. Once the thwarts are fully inated and in position, return to the two boom side main
chambers and inate each until rm (4.5 psi ONLY). Do not over inate!
6. Move to the two top side main chambers and inate each until rm (4.5 psi ONLY). Do not
over inate!
a. Tip: A good way to gauge if your kayak is fully inated is to pick it up by the handle at
one end and give it a good bounce. If it exes quite a bit, or sags, it needs more air.
7. Inate Cockpit Coaming (1.0 psi ONLY). Do not over inate! See Figure 2.
8. Once all chambers are inated, use the yellow Velcro loop, located at the rear of the cockpit
on the underside of the kayak deck, to store the Rear Thwart ination hose. The ination hose
for the Front Thwart can be placed on top of the le Main Ination Chamber, in-between the
outer skin and tube, and held in place by using the yellow Velcro loop located in that area.
3.5 Deation and Break Down
1. Unscrew the valve bodies to the Main Ination tubes and the Front and Rear Thwarts. See
Figure 1.
2. Open Twist Valve on Coaming.
3. Once the chambers are deated, you can use your pump to vacuum out any additional air for
improved folding.
4. Remove Poles #4 and #5 from each side of the kayak, and collapse each pole by pulling apart
and folding at the shock corded ends.
5. Remove Pole #6 from the deck sleeve and collapse by pulling apart and folding at the shock
corded end.
6. Take hold of Locking Sleeve #3 and depress the push buon on Pole #1. Slide Locking Sleeve
#3 onto Pole #2. CAUTION: Keep your hands on Poles # 1 and #2 to keep them from
springing upwards and causing any injury to you or the kayak.
7. Disconnect Poles #1 and #2 and pull Pole #2 out of the kayak. Pull Locking Sleeve #3 o of the
end of Pole #2 and remove Pole #2 from the Rear Thwart Sleeve.
8. Pull Pole #1 out of the kayak and remove it from the Front Thwart Sleeve.
a. Tip: To keep from losing Locking Sleeve #3, slide it onto Pole #1 and snap it into place
over the push buon.
9. Collapse each pole by pulling apart and folding at the shock corded ends.
NOTE: Leave Bow and Stern Ribs in place inside of the kayak.
10. Remove the foam oor.
