safety
Any person using kayaks built and/or sold by Dagger is
personally responsible for determining that their
abilities are equal or superior to the conditions
encountered and exercising proper judgment in choice
of where and when to paddle.
Any person using Dagger kayaks assumes all risks and
takes complete responsibility for any and all
damages, or injuries, including death, which may
result from use of or participation in Dagger kayaks.
Consult your physician prior to beginning your
paddlesport training.
don’t:
• Never exceed your ability and assess how far and
how long you can paddle or swim.
• Never paddle alone.
• Never consume alcohol, drugs, or any other
substance that may affect your coordination,
judgment, or ability when paddling.
• Never paddle in flood conditions.
• Never allow minors to use the boat without adult
supervision.
• Avoid bracing yourself in the kayak in such a way that
you have to release any outfitting to escape.
• Do not impair entry or exit access to the kayak when
installing additional outfitting.
do:
• Wear a Coast Guard approved personal flotation
device (PFD).
• Wear a helmet when paddling whitewater or in
the ocean.
• Get paddlesports instruction from a licensed or
certified instructor.
• Dress appropriately for weather conditions; cold
water and/or weather can result in hypothermia.
• Check your equipment prior to each use for signs
of wear or failure.
• Scout unfamiliar waters. If necessary, paddle to
shore and carry your boat past uncertain areas.
• Stay aware of appropriate river water levels, tidal
changes, dangerous currents, and weather changes.
• Follow manufacturer’s recommendations for use
and outfitting of your kayak.
• Leave your paddling location and agenda with
someone at home before departing.
• Obtain certified first aid and rescue training and
carry first aid and rescue equipment.
• Always use supplemental flotation.
Warning:
Kayaking can be hazardous with potential risk of
serious injury and even death.

Most Dagger kayak seats are designed for use
by the majority of people without any adjustment.
However, our seats are easily adjustable to
ensure maximum performance.
Try paddling the boat with the seat in a neutral
position before moving it to any degree.
For more step-by-step instructions,
visit Dagger.com
ADJUSTING THE SEAT: WHITEWATER KAYAK
PFS 2.0 SEATING
(AXIOM, AGENT, MAMBA)
1 To adjust the seat, unscrew and remove the yellow
plastic thumb nuts from front and back bottom of
the seat. Lift seat off remaining bolts.
2 Move the seat forward or backward as desired, and
test the fit by sitting in the kayak on the water. When
the correct position is attained, replace and fully
tighten the thumb nuts.
PFS 2.0 CREEKER SEATING
(MAMBA CREEKER, NOMAD, THE GREEN BOAT)
1 Fully unscrew the bolt that connects the front of the
seat to the center pillar.
2 Loosen (but do not completely unscrew) the bolts on
the sides of the cockpit that connect the seat the boat.
3 Before moving the seat, knock the bolts back down
flush with the boat firmly. Move the seat to the
desired location, keeping in mind to line the front
of the seat up with the pre-existing recessed nuts.
Re-tighten all loose bolts and screws into place to
secure seat.
One of the most important considerations in
using your kayak is the way it feels to you –
how comfortably it fits and how easy it is to
get in and out of.

OUTFITTING: THIGHBRACES / BACKREST
THIGH BRACE ADJUSTMENT
Some Dagger kayaks are outfitted with
adjustable thigh braces. Thigh braces hold your
knees against the inside of the kayak increasing
your control over the boat’s pitch and roll.
1 Loosen the bolts holding the thigh braces to the kayak
using a philips head screwdriver. You need to
completely remove the front bolt only.
2 Move each thigh brace forwards or backwards until
comfortable and re-tighten the retaining bolts.
BACKREST ADJUSTMENT
Most Dagger kayaks have adjustable back
rests to ensure the best fit and provide lumbar
support. The backrest should be adjusted
enough that you feel secure while remaining
comfortable. Do not overtighten as this could
impair your exit or cause back injury.
HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE BACKREST
The height of the seatback can be raised or
lowered. To raise, simply grasp any section of the
backrest and slide upwards. To lower, grasp the
yellow adjustment lever and rotate it forwards
and down.
BACKBAND
Use the sliders on the back of the backband
to adjust the tension further up or backwards.
Whitewater backbands featuring ratchets on
the thighbraces can be used for fine-tuning the
adjustment while sitting inside the kayak.

OUTFITTING: FOOT BRACES
FOAM FOOT BRACES
Dagger playboats are fitted with foam foot
braces. These are lightweight, simple and allow
you to get a custom fit while maximizing foot
room. Always outfit your boat wearing the gear
you’ll wear on the water.
Use these instructions to help understand
your kayak and its different parts. Not all
kayaks will feature all outfitting shown.
We recommend adding additional foam
padding to bulkhead footrests for comfort
and shock absorption.
For further instruction, visit Dagger.com
BULKHEAD FOOT BRACES
Bulkhead footbraces help to distribute the force
of a frontal impact and are fitted in some of our
whitewater kayaks. To adjust the footbrace:
1 Unscrew and remove the retaining thumb nuts and
move the aluminium runners backwards or forwards
until correct fit is achieved. Always test the fit by
sitting in the kayak. Adjust the footbrace to be
comfortably tight without hindering your exit from
the cockpit.
2 All bulkheads are also adjustable for width and
height. You should adjust them to the maximum area
as allowed by the internal dimensions of the kayak.
Bulkhead footbraces come with foam blocks for
custom fit and safety. Step-by-step instructions
available at Dagger.com

SLIDELOCK FOOT BRACES
First, sit in an upright position to begin adjusting
the footpegs. There is a black plastic rod
extending from the footpeg to your knee that
adjusts the position. Lift the rod slightly to
release the peg and then either slide the peg
forward or back to find the correct position.
Releasing the rod will lock it in place. With just a
slight amount of foot pressure the peg should be
snug against your foot.

KEEPERS FOOTBRACES:
The adjustment lever is located on the backside of
the footpedal. To adjust, squeeze the lever and slide
the footpeg to the desired location. Release the lever
to lock it in place.

OUTFITTING: STOWING YOUR GEAR
STOWING DECK RIGGING
There is stowage space behind the seat and in
front of the footbraces in many Dagger kayaks.
To stow gear in other areas of a Dagger touring/
recreational kayak, simply open one of the
hatches and slide it in.
Heavier items should be placed towards the
bottom and center of the kayak and lighter
equipment on top and to the ends.
If gear is stowed in the main cockpit area, ensure
that there are no loose items impeding your exit
from the kayak. It is also a good idea to place
your items in a waterproof bag and tie it in to
prevent loss in the event of a capsize.
Dagger kayaks with hatches have interior foam
walls or bulkheads that create waterproof
compartments for gear storage and buoyancy. It
is still a good idea to store items in a drybag in
the chance leakage may occur.
Dagger recreation/touring kayaks feature deck
rigging for stowing useful items: A spare take-
apart paddle, bilge pump, dry bag, first aid kit, etc.
Valuable items should be tied to the rigging to
prevent loss. Check the security of stashed gear
periodically and remember that heavy items
attached to the deck of the kayak can reduce
the stability of the craft.
Touring kayaks feature perimeter safety lines
which, in addition to rigging, can be used for
rescues and are reflective for increased visibility.

OUTFITTING: SKEGS
RETRACTABLE SKEG
Some Dagger kayaks have a retractable skeg to
help aid in boat control in certain wind and sea
conditions. The deployment of the skeg helps
balance the boat to the specific conditions by
adding more tracking at the stern of the boat.
Experiment with different skeg positions to find
the best balance point.
RETRACTABLE SKEG OPERATION
1 Cable skeg- Find the skeg slider box on the right side
of the cockpit. Push the slider back to deploy and
forward to uphaul the skeg blade. Be careful not to
force the slider as small rocks or debris may jam the
skeg blade causing the cable to kink. If this is the case
clean out the skeg box with a thin blade or screwdriver.
2 Rope skeg- Find the lanyard on the right side of the
deck just behind the cockpit. Lift and release the ball
out of the cleat to drop the skeg down. Gravity and
the weight of the skeg blade allows it to deploy. Pull
the ball forward to raise the skeg and re-cleat after
adjustment is made.

STORAGE / TRANSPORT
STORING YOUR KAYAK
Boats made from polyethylene plastic are strong,
rigid and highly impact resistant, but due to
the nature of plastic in general, it is important
to store your boat properly. It is always best to
store your kayak indoors, out of direct sunlight
and protected from inclement weather.
Preferably, you should stand your boat on end
or hang it suspended by slings. Hanging your
boat from its grab loops or handles increases the
chance of warpage. You can also store your boat
on the floor, upside down.
TRANSPORTING YOUR KAYAK
Because of their light weight and shape, kayaks
are ideally suited for car topping. Your primary
concern in carrying your kayak is that it stays
securely tied to the vehicle. As with storage,
another concern should be potential distortion
of the hull.
Car-topping the kayak is best done with a quality
roof rack specifically designed for attaching
kayaks (Thule, Yakima). Foam blocks/cradles
attached to the rack are another option. The
boat should be tied to the vehicle as well as the
rack by its grab handles.
Over tightening bow and stern lines will increase
the likelihood of warpage as will leaving the boat
tied tightly in the sun for prolonged periods.
Use slings or webbing straps suspended from the ceiling or wall.
Use foam to pad the areas where the kayak comes into contact with the wall.
Foam cradle or pad
Carry a single kayak cockpit down Carry two or more kayaks cockpit to
cockpit - use upright roof bars
Your boat can also be stored hull up on parallel bars with weight supported
evenly throughout.
important:
It is recommended to always stop shortly after
the start of your trip to make sure all fittings and
connections are secure and that the kayak will not
shift during travel.
caution:
Do not suspend your kayak by using the grab
loops at either end of the boat. This can cause the
hull to distort over time.

CARE / MAINTENANCE
CARE HULL DISTORTION
Our rotomolded kayaks are made of high-
density linear polyethylene, which is virtually
maintainance free. A minimal amount of care
in storage and transporting will help the kayak
maintain a like-new condition for many years.
Polyethylene will become more flexible when
in warm conditions such as a hot, sunny day.
Improper storage or transportation of a plastic
boat, especially in the heat, can potentially
distort the shape of the hull on your boat.
If your kayak does become the victim of slight
distortion, correction is a simple process. Brief
exposure to the heat of the sun is often all it
takes to restore the hull to its original shape.
If that doesn’t work, the hull can usually be
restored by applying heat to the outside of the
boat with a hair dryer. Take care – high, focused
heat could cause damage.
When the hull is pliable enough, it can be
pushed back into shape by hand. A weight can
be placed inside the boat to maintain the shape
of the hull as it cools. Allow 24 hours to ensure
the process is completed.
CLEANING
Usually, a quick rinse of fresh water is all that
is necessary to keep your kayak clean and
functioning in good order. This is very important
after paddling in salt water. Be sure to rinse the
skeg, cables, and foot braces with fresh water
to remove salt residue. To minimize long-term
degradation caused by UV exposure, use an
ultraviolet protectant such as 303 Protectant,
available at your local dealer or HarmonyGear.com.
WHITEWATER CARE
Whitewater kayaks are built to withstand more
aggressive use than recreation or touring
models. However, a certain amount of impact
and abrasion damage is to be expected due to
the nature of whitewater paddling.
Continual exposure to abrasion can roughen
the hull surface. Scratching is often cosmetic or
superficial and requires no repair.
It is important to be able to determine when
damage is cosmetic or extends to impacting
the structure of the hull. Impacts are much more
likely than scratches to result in structural damage.
Inspect your hull after suffering a collision.
As strong and durable as it is, polyethylene is
not indestructible. However, should the worst
happen, it is repairable – simply contact your
local Dagger dealer.
REPAIR OPTIONS
Although it is unlikely that your Dagger kayak
will need any repairs during its lifetime, it is pos-
sible that a hull crack or puncture may occur due
to extreme impact or contact with a sharp ob-
ject. If this happens, contact your local Dagger
dealer to determine if the damage falls under
the boat’s warranty (see warranty section).
We will need the serial number of your kayak, a
good description of the damage (a photograph
is required) and a description of the incident
during which the damage occurred. All of this
information will help us determine the best
course of action.
WARNING
Avoid dragging your kayak across the
ground to prolong its life and maintain its
look and performance. Two people, using the
carrying handles, is the best way to trans-
port a longer kayak.

paddle
Choosing a paddle is almost as important as your
choice of boat. Blade shape, length, weight, and
material all offer different experiences. It is also strongly
recommended that you have a spare paddle that can be
easily stowed on your deck.
safety equipment
USCG regulations require an audible signal device (a
horn or whistle) to be used in all watercraft. In addition,
for recreational and touring kayaks, it is recommended
that all paddlers carry a bilge pump (to drain water from
the kayak), and a paddle float. Be sure to secure training
in the operation of a paddlefloat.
personal gear
Items you should keep with you on every trip include
sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, plenty of drinking water,
insect repellent, compass, waterproof flashlight,
matches or lighter, pocket knife, and a first aid kit.
dry bag
An ultra-light and water-resistant dry bag is a good idea
for storage and an extra level of protection and
accessibility for gear.
spraysKirt
A sprayskirt is worn by the paddler to create a
watertight seal, preventing the cockpit from filling up
with water You should always paddle with a spray skirt
in place to facilitate rolling and prevent the kayak from
getting swamped.
WhiteWater paddle
Typically, a whitewater paddle will be shorter than the
average touring paddle and have a larger blade face.
Your local Dagger dealer should be able to help you
decide on a paddle to suit your needs. It is always a
good idea to carry a backup paddle that can be broken
down to fit in the stern of your kayak.
flotation bags
If you are forced to exit your kayak and it becomes
swamped, recovery becomes more difficult. By
installing inflatable float bags you can reduce the
volume of water a swamped kayak will take on. Typical
installation on a kayak will be two bags, one on either
side of the stern pillar.
throW bag
In the event of an emergency while on the water, a
throw bag can help you reach a swimmer or help free
your kayak. A throwbag should have a minimum of 50
feet of cord.
