Inflating Kayak Sides (2) & Top (3)
Inflating Kayak Base (1)
Deflate: Unscrew the lower
part of the inflation valve
to release the air.
Inflate: Insert the pump hose (I) into
the valve and inflate as shown below.
Screw the top cap on once finished
Locate the inflation valve for
the side/top of the Kayak (2/3).
Unscrew the upper valve cap.
Once inflated press the cap back
in place and push firmly to recess
the valve into the base.
Locate the inflation valve
for the Kayak base (1)
and remove the cap.
Inflating the Kayak
• Maximum operating pressure: 0.05 bar (0.725psi).
• Avoid excessive inflation of the air chambers to prevent danger of the material stretching or the seams tearing.
• Please use the foot pump provided with this purchase. Use of a high pressure pump may damage the product and void your warranty.
• Do not use a compressor or a compressed air bottle to inflate the article as this can cause over inflation.
• Completely inflate all of the air chambers.
• The PVC material will stretch a little following initial inflation and will never return to its original size.
• Pump up the air chambers so that they feel firm to the touch and no wrinkles can be seen in the material. Press on each air
chamber with your thumb – the chambers should be firm to the touch.
Note: We recommend inflating the Kayak in the order listed below. Lay out the Kayak (A) on a flat even surface, making sure it is clear
of any sharp objects.
1. Inflate base of the Kayak using the clear inflation valve.
2. Inflate the Kayak sides using the rapid inflate valve.
3. Inflate the Kayak top using the rapid inflate valve.
Insert the pump hose (I)
into the valve and inflate
as shown.
SETTING UP YOUR AIRPRO® X1 KAYAK
Using the Foot Pump
Use the foot pump (H) to inflate
the Kayak (A) until firm,
being careful not to over inflate.
Firmly push the end of the hose (H)
into the desired inflation valve.
Push the inflation hose (J) into the
‘inflate’ valve on the foot pump (I)
and twist clockwise to lock.

Inflating the backrest
Lay out the Kayak backrest (C) on a flat even surface, making
sure it is clear of any sharp objects. Locate the inflation valve (1)
on the lower rear of the backrest (C) and remove the valve cap.
Inflate the Kayak backrest using the foot pump as directed.
Fitting the Backrest
Insert the backrest (C) into the rear of the Kayak seating area
with the backrest “arms” against the Kayak floor.
Locate the eyelet on the rear of the backrest (2) and
corresponding one on the Kayak top (3). Using the backrest
tie cord, loop it through both eyelets and securely tie a knot
to secure the backrest.

CARE / MAINTENANCE / STORAGE
Only use care products that do not contain traces of acids or petroleum and never use silicone-based products.
• Clean your Kayak thoroughly after every use with fresh water and mild soap to remove salt crystals, sandy granules and
other small dirt particles. Leave it to dry completely.
• Deflate the parts of the Kayak by removing the stoppers from the relevant valves and remove all of the air.
• Lay both of the upper side pipes into the inside of the Kayak and fold them together carefully.
• Store your Kayak in a clean and dry place away from direct sunlight and somewhere where there are no great temperature
fluctuations. Pay attention to the fact, that the Kayak is not wrinkled but lays flat, and keep well out of the reach of rodents.
• All inflatables are sensitive to cold. The Kayak should never be unfolded and inflated at a temperature under 10°C!
• If the atmospheric pressure increases under the blazing sun, this must be compensated by releasing some air from the craft.
• Try to ensure that the Kayak (particularly when inflated) does not come into contact with stones, gravel or sharp objects,
and that it is not dragged or pulled along the ground because this can damage the Kayak‘s skin.
• Only insert suitable pump adaptors into the valve. The wrong type of pump adaptor can damage the valve.
REPAIRING YOUR KAYAK
You should not attempt to repair large damaged sections by yourself. You can repair small areas with the enclosed repair kit.
1. Deflate the Kayak completely and clean the area to be repaired with an alcohol-based solution. Roughen up the damaged area
surrounding the hole or tear with a fine sand paper.
2. Cut a patch to cover the damaged area. The patch should overlap the damaged area by at least 1.25cm on all sides.
3. Apply the glue to the Kayak as well as to the patch. Allow to dry for approx. 3 minutes.
4. Press the patch down firmly using a soft object. Make sure that you are working on a flat, even surface. Remove any air bubbles
with a rounded object, gently pushing the bubbles in an outward direction.
5. Always wait at least 12 hours after a repair before pumping up the Kayak once again.
DISPOSING OF YOUR KAYAK
Please dispose of the product and packaging in an environmentally friendly manner, separating different materials for recycling
as required! Dispose of this item through an authorised disposal company or through your local waste disposal facilities - ask your
local authority for information if further guidance is required. Ensure that you comply with all regulations currently in force.

WARRANTY

INTENDED USE
The Kayak has been designed for private use.
Area of use: Protected shoreline up to 300m – for journeys in protected coastal waters, small bays, on small lakes, narrow rivers
and canals. Do not use in windy conditions above Beaufort Scale 4 or with a wave height of over 0.5m.
CODE OF CONDUCT / SAFETY NOTICE
This Kayak is a tested and safe piece of water sports equipment. We urgently ask you to comply with the following rules and
regulations:
WARNING!
• Your care and self-assessment on the water is extremely important. Never over-estimate your power and steering skills!
Remain close to the shore! Keep a constant eye on the weather, storm warnings and possible flare signals!
• Please always follow the safety regulations and laws applicable to lakes and open water, and for your own safety, always wear
a tested life-jacket.
• Never allow children to play unsupervised with the packaging materials, or the article itself.
• If a person happens to have fallen overboard, their rescue must take place via the front or rear of the craft. Re-entry at the side
can cause the craft to capsize.
• Be cautious in offshore winds and currents!
• Please note that the weight of the occupants of the craft as well as the luggage must be uniformly distributed otherwise the
Kayak can capsize.
• Follow the information on the type plate regarding the permitted weight allowance and number of occupants as well as the
warning information.
• Always keep to the local navigation regulations.
• Do not carry any sharp or pointed objects.
• The Kayak should be protected against contact with dubious liquids or acids to avoid irreparable damage.
• Protect the Kayak against heat and fire! Take care with lit cigarettes!
• Make sure you do not run aground on stony subsoil to avoid damage to the underside of the Kayak.
• Should damage to one of the five inner chambers occur whilst afloat, do not abandon the Kayak. The floatation force of the
four intact inner chambers is sufficient to maintain the Kayak safely on the water.
• Never transport the Kayak in vehicles when inflated.
• Never leave your unoccupied Kayak on the water. It can be swept away faster than you can swim after it.
• Always carry the paddle with you when using the Kayak otherwise you will not be able to manoeuvre it.
• Do not attempt to make any technical changes to your Kayak. Changes of any kind endanger the operation of this device.
• Never use your Kayak under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medicinal products.
• Never overestimate your own strength and divide your muscular strength with the paddle in such a way that the distance you
have paddled away from the shore can be easily paddled back again. Stay in protected coastal areas, no more than 300m
away, and pay attention to varying winds and currents which can complicate your movement.
