PRODUCT MANUAL

KOKOPELLI PACKRAFT was founded out of
a garage in Denver, Colorado. Our Vision
is to create the opportunity for outdoor
enthusiasts to explore nature in its most
serene settings. We set to accomplish
this by developing a line of high quality
packrafts through extensive research
and development and by listening to our
customers wants and needs. Additionally,
we serve as a resource for learning how
to use your packraft, finding packrafting
trips in your area, and learning about the
equipment and techniques that will keep
you safe out on the water.

main packraft valve and twist
clockwise to secure.

valve quickly. Push valve stem
down and twist 1/4 turn clockwise

SEAT INSTALLATION
Insert inflation tube and fill
the remainder of the raft by
blowing into the tube. Fill as much
as you can, you will not overinflate
by blowing into the tube. If using a
pump, inflate to 1.3-1.5 PSI. Do not
overfill.
Open the valve on your seat
by twisting the valve counter-
clockwise (left) to open. Inflate the
seat by mouth and close the valve
by turning the nozzle clockwise
(right).
Attach valve cap and twist
clockwise to secure.
Insert seat into bottom of
packraft. Push the seat toward
the back of the raft until the edge
of the seat touches the back edge of
the packraft.

SEAT INSTALLATION
Thread 1” webbing strap that
is attached to the seat through
the ladder lock on the back of the
packraft. Tuck any additional loose
webbing in between the seat and
the back of the packraft.
Next, using the two 3/4”
compression straps (straps
with metal d-rings) run the strap
through the rear buckle on the back
of the backband to the d-ring with
ladder lock buckle on the back of
the raft. Tighten the straps so the
back band is elevated and held in
place while in use.
For the Backband: Attach the
1.5” webbing (larger strap) to
the 1.5” ladder lock buckle at the
mid-section of the raft. Attach both
left and right side.
Adjust the backband so that
the paddler’s feet brace
against the front of the packraft.
