ACCESSORYSUPPLIEDWITHTHEKAYAK:
Single-seat version - reinforcements Nos. 1 and 2. Two-seat
version - reinforcements Nos. 3, 4, 5. Belt for strapping the fol-
ded kayak, user‘s manual with the warranty certicate, sponge
in a netting bag, repair kit containing glue, patches and valve
adaptors.
3. Inflation Instructions
Unfold the kayak. If you intend to use a tracking n, slide it in
the attachment in the bottom (19). Attach the foot-rest (7) to
the anchoring (14) in the bottom; for correct passage of the
strap through the buckle, see Detail A. Attach the seat to the
anchoring in the bottom (17), the back-rest to the anchoring in
the tube (15) and in the reinforcement; for a correct passage
of the straps, see Detail B. Slide the labelled kayak braces
into the specied brace holders (see Figures 2 a, b, c d) so
that the marking is matched. NOTICE! Each reinforcement
is different; they may not be replaced! Always slide the rein-
forcements from the stem (the Innova logo is printed on the
stem) in the following order: single-seat version - Nos. 1 and
2; two-seat version - Nos. 3, 4, 5.
The air chambers shall be inated in the following order: side
drums (1), bottom (2). For the ination it is favourable to use
a foot pump or piston pump with using the valve adapter - see
Fig. 3b (the adapter is a part of the gluing kit). Before the start
of inating, check the condition of the valves. Set the valves
to the Closed position. For the way of operating of the valve
see Fig. 3. Inate the air chambers until they are rm but not
completely stiff. The air chambers should provide a feeling
comparable to squeezing a ripe orange. You can check the
exact operating pressure by using a suitable pressure gauge
(optional accessory) - see Figure 3a. The wrench for the in-
stallation of the valve - see Fig. 3c - is an optional accessory.
ATTENTION
Themaximum operationalpressurein airchambers
is 0.02 MPa. If the ambient temperature increases
(e.g.owingtosunlight),thepressureintheairchambers
ofthekayakcanriserapidly.Werecommendreleasing
someairfromallairchambersofthekayakafterpulling
itoutofthewater.Thiswillpreventpossibledestruction
oftheairchambers.However,donotforgettocontinu-
ously check air pressure in the chambers afterwards,
too.Acorrespondingreductioninoperatingpressureis
upto20%within24hours.
ATTENTION
Whenusingtheboat,alwayssealthevalveswiththeir
valvecaps.Thiswillkeepdirtoutofthevalves.Dirtcan-
causeleakyvalveseals.
4. Riding the boat
The SWING kayak is a single-seat inatable kayak. Whenever
the kayak is used on waterways, Waterway Traffic Rules
should be observed.
The operation of the SWING inatable kayak does not require
any licence, provided that the people who operate the kayak
know the techniques of small boat operation to the extent
required for its operation as well as the valid navigation rules
of the particular country.
The SWING kayak is designed for use on rivers up to Difculty
Grade WW 2. It can also be used on lakes. The kayak is par-
ticularly suitable for beginners due to its simple and compact
design and easy manoeuvrability. The space on the stern
can be used for storing baggage. The person travelling in the
kayak sits on the bottom of the kayak with their back leant
against the backrest and their feet leant against the foot-rest.
The person travelling in the kayak should wear a flotation
life-jacket. Use a double-blade kayak paddle with a length
of (200 - 230) cm.
ATTENTION
Priortousingthekayak,checkwhetheritisnecessary
toobserveanyspecialregulations,restrictionsorrules
connectedwiththeriver,surfaceofwaterorareain
whichyouintendtouseit.
Theboatisnotdesignedtobetowedbehindmotorboats,
normayitbetowed otherwise,draggedor inanyway
subjected to unusual stress. Sharp edged or pointed
itemscarriedinthekayakshouldbesafelywrapped.
Placeallvaluablesintoawaterproofcontainerandfas-
tenittothekayak.
Overtime,sunlightadverselyaffectstherubbercoating
oftheboat;therefore,itisadvisabletostoretheboatin
shadeeachtimeafteruse.
CAUTION:
• Onlargesurfacesofwater(seasorlakes),payattention
to water currents and off-shore breezes. Currents
andbreezesmaymakeitimpossibletoreturntoshore.
• TheSWINGkayakshouldnotbeusedinchallenging
conditions,suchasindecreasedvisibility(night,fog
orrain).
