BEFORE INFLATION
Thanks to the design of the kayak, the high-pressure valve can be released during transport.
Therefore, it is important to check that the valve is fully tightened before use. The valve should be
inspected regularly to ensure that it remains tight. This will prevent small pressure losses and ensure
optimal performance of your kayak .
If pressure escapes from the inflated kayak around the valve, it is likely that the valve is not tightened
properly. The valve must be tightened correctly to stop the pressure leak.
Note: The valve can only be properly tightened if the kayak is deflated.
