• Start by assembling all the tubes
• Find the keel tube (without ends)
• Align all the red marks on the other tubes.
• This way at the other end you identify two long tubes
(upper tubes) and two short ones (lower tubes)
• Take the bow part and slide it into
the keel tube (red marks)
• Clip crossribs n° 4, 3 and 2 on the keel tube. All the tape marks should
be on the same side and below, red for the front, blue for the rear. Don’t
assemble crossrib n°1.
• Do the same for the rear
• Go to the rear of the boat. Take the two longer tubes and connect
them to the top nipples, by sliding the blue caps.
(red caps go at the bow)
• Clip the n°4 crossrib to the top tubes (below) then, do the same for
crossribs n°3 and 2.
• Start again
from the rear
to connect the
lower tubes to
the frame.
• Connect te
bow part to
the top tubes.
• Now you can
clip crossrib n°1
which goes into
the bow notch
below.
• Finish the frame assembly with the two little central deck tubes,
connected to the bow and stern part (red at the front, blue at the
rear).
• Your frame is assembled.
FOOTREST TUNING
When assembling for the first time your kayak, you have to adjust the
footrest, connected to the seat.
The footrest will be clipped on
the keel tube.
Put it in place between crossrib n°1
and 2.
Inflate the seat and put it in the
kayak.
Tie the seat straps at the rear around
the crossrib.
Do the same at the front with the nar-
row straps.
Seat into the kayak and adjust the straps to the legth of your legs.
Connect the footrest to the seat with
the large straps.
• Get the frame into the skin.
• Be careful that the frame has to be
perfectly centered in the skin : the
top tube has to be aligned with the
black triangle on deck.
• Push the frame in the skin to the
max.
ASSEMBLY FOLLOWING
• At the rear, push the stern towards the ground to get the frame
in the skin. The «shark tooth» (red arrow) has to be released off the
stern part (pull the pin).
• Attach the lateral straps below the cockpit rim. the two straps have
to go over the top tube (red arrow), then one of them go around the
lower tube, thenthey are attached together.
• Tie the last remaining strap (below the cockpit), which goes over
the tubes.
• Prepare for tensioning the frame : put the «shark tooth» in its
gauge, get the cord out and the lever.
• Push at the same time with your foot on the shark tooth and pull
with your arm on the cord. The pin will automatically block the tooth in
place when it’s OK.
• Zip the rear deck and put the velcros together.
• Fold the zip end along the stern.
REAR END
• Fold the first part of the cover.
• Fold the second part of the cover. • Attach the velcro strap.
• Put in place the seat (see footrest tuning pages)
• Inflate the stabilairs (low pressure).
Your Narak Cross is ready to hit the water !
• Disassembly of the kayak : do the other way round. Deflate
the stabilairs. Unzip the rear deck. Untie the three straps (sides and
rear of the cockpit) that tie the skin to the frame. At the stern, pull on
the pin that block the «shark tooth». Pull the tooth with the cord. Get
the frame out of the skin. Disassemble the tubes and the crossribs.
Fold the skin on its side, the deck on the inside. The kayak has to be
dry, if you have to fold it with still water on it, don’t delay to get it out
of its bag to avoid moisture.
• Kayak maintenance : rince your boat on the inside and outside
after each outing at sea. Rub with a sponge to get the salt away.
Wash it with soapy water if necessary. Dry it carefully before storing
it in its bag for a long period of time. Apply silicone or other spray to
prevent corrosion inside the tubes.
