INFLATE THE KAYAK/CANOE
Inflate the inflatable keels (for AIR-C only), side chambers and air floor in
sequence as shown in the picture.
1. Attach the pressure gauge and the pump hose to the gauge housing on the pump
and secure it tightly. The pump can be switched between double action mode and
single action mode.
2. HIGH PRESSURE VALVE
Unscrew the valve cap, push button in and turn it clockwise to make sure that the
valve is in the “Pin Out” position.
KEEL AIR VALVE (AIR-C)
Open external cap and pull firmly to extend out. Start pumping air into the
inflatable keel by sliding the pump piston up and down for ONLY ONE ROUND.
3. Inflate the drop-stitch air chambers to the maximum air pressure (10 psi/ 0.68 bar).
TIP: If the pump piston starts to squeak, apply some lubrication oil on the piston shaft.

SEAT INSTALLATION
1. Attach the seat to the kayak/canoe floor with Velcro. It is important to place the
seat in the right place to evenly balance the boat when in the water. A solo
paddler should be slightly aft of the boat’s center. With two paddlers, the
heavier one should sit toward the rear.
2. Once seat position is confirmed, connect the seat straps to the D-rings by using
seat strap buckles. Attach the upper straps to the D-rings forward of each seat.
NOTE: AIR-C is designed for 2-3 users. Seat position could be easily adjusted by
clipping strap buckles to different D-rings, and strap buckles may be clipped to
the same D-ring if needed. Please refer to above seat position layout for reference
when there are 2 or 3 users.

KAYAK FIN INSTALLATION
Turn the kayak/canoe over and slide the kayak fin into the fin box. It only slides in
facing one way. Slide in the push-in pin into the groove until it clicks into the position.

KAYAK/CANOE DEFLATION
1. Clear any water or debris out of the valve areas.
2. HIGH PRESSURE VALVE
Open the valve cap first. Slowly press down on the valve stem to start letting air
out of the kayak/canoe. There will be an initial burst of air, but that will slow
down very quickly. Once the air flow has slowed down, press the valve stem all
the way down and turn it clockwise to lock it into the “OPEN” position.
KEEL AIR VALVE (AIR-C)
Open external cap and pull firmly to extend out. Start to deflate by using the
transparent hose (come with the repair kit bag), or by simply squeezing the
bottom of the valve.
KAYAK/CANOE FOLDING STEPS
1. Remove all the accessories from the kayak/canoe: seats, paddles, kayak fins, etc.
For AIR-K, remember to remove the Deck Shield before folding.
2. Make the first fold from the bow. Continue folding towards the valves tightly,
forcing out any remaining air as you go.
3. Fold the boat all the way to the end to push all the air out. Then unfold one fold.
Fold stern back and place bow folds on top of stern.

INSTRUCTION FOR CARE AND STORAGE
The kayak/canoe is made of the highest quality materials and is with reference to

very little that you have to do to keep your kayak/canoe in good condition for many
years.

sun exposure. Most dirt can be removed with a garden hose, a sponge and mild
soap. Make sure the kayak/canoe is completely dry before being stored . Use as
few cleaning agents as possible, do not discharge waste agents into water, and
clean your kayak/canoe preferably on land.
• The products may be stored inflated, but do not place any heavy or sharp objects
on it. Hanging the kayak/canoe is not recommended.
• Open all air valves and deflate kayak/canoe completely. Remove all the
accessories from the kayak/canoe.

LEAK DETECTION AND REPAIR
14
K
A leaking valve is rare, but if you do find a leak, turn to after-sales service center
for a replacement valve. To locate a leak, we recommend mixing soap and water
in a spray bottle, spray around the valve. If you see bubbles forming, check your
valve seating and base and be sure the valve insert is screwed tight. If the
kayak/canoe is losing air and all the valves are good, it probably has a small
puncture.
Small punctures can be repaired easily and permanently. Spray soap water
around the kayak/canoe until air bubbles become visible and mark the position
of the leak.
1. Punctures less than 1/8”in size can be repaired simply without a patch.
Deflate your kayak/canoe, then clean and dry the area to be repaired. Apply a
small drop of glue to cover the puncture, and let it dry 12 hours.
2. Cut a piece of repair material large enough to overlap the damaged area by
approximately 1.5cm (1/2”), and round off the edges.
3. Apply glue to the under side of the patch and around the area to be repaired.
Too much glue will interfere with a proper repair.
4. Allow adhesive to become tacky for 2-4 minutes, and then start at one corner
and work outward, carefully apply the patch to the repair area using very firm
pressure. Rub the entire patch area and the edges of the patch using very firm
pressure. Allow to cure for at least 12 hours before inflating and using.
