ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS / INFLATION
CAUTION !
Do not use a sharp tool !
For the first inflation and in order to get acquainted with your new product, inflate indoors at room temperature where the PVC
will be soft and assembly process made easier.
Any use of an air compressor will damage your product and automatically void all warranties.
If it was stored at a temperature below 0°C / 32°F, leave it at 20°C / 68°F for 12 hours before unfolding. Inflate it with an inflator
from any inflator designed for inflatable boats, rafts, pool floats, air beds, camping mattresses, and other low pressure
inflatables. These types of inflators will have a hose and adapters to fit the valves on this product.
Choose a smooth and clean surface to unfold your product.
1）Before you begin inflation, attach the footrest to the nylon cover by sliding the black PVC pipe through the three
fittings at the front and at the same time through the 2 soft EVA pads, which should be positioned between the fittings.
Lock the footrest from both sides by the ropes through the hole at each end of the pipe.
2
） Attach the fin on the underside by folding the hull. Insert the extremities of the fin in the loops and stretch the hull as
much as possible to hold it in position. Once the kayak is inflated, this operation becomes impossible. The curvature of
the fin must be oriented towards the back end of the kayak.
3）Your product is equipped with one type of valve:
(Jumob) Push-in valve(s): Open the Velcro flap/cover, pull the valve out slightly and remove the plug from the valve;
inflate the chamber by using the adapter of the inflator which fits the valve. Close the valve and press it into the air
chamber. Close the Velcro flap/cover.
4）Inflate the product in the order of inflation as shown on the capacity plate printed on the product.

5）Max. air pressure: The correct pressure for this item is: 0,1 bar (= 100 mBar). Do not exceed it. Add air until
the product is free of wrinkles and feels firm to the touch. Please check the pressure with the supplied pressure
gauge. Overpressure: deflate until you reach the recommended pressure. Drop of pressure: inflate again slightly.
WARNING !
If you leave your product exposed to the hot sun check the pressure and deflate it slightly, otherwise the material
might be overstretched.
The ambient temperature affects the tube’s internal pressure: a variation of 1°C causes a variation of the pressure in the tube
of +/- 4 mBar.

MAINTENANCE: DEFLATING – FOLDING THE ITEM – CLEANING – WINTERING STORAGE
1. Remove oars/paddles and other accessories.
2. To deflate, unscrew the valves’ insert and open the valve cap of the push-in valve.
3. Clean and check the item as well as all the accessories after each use. Rinse it thoroughly making sure to remove any
residues of salt if used in saltwater. Use a mild soapy solution, do not use detergents or any type of siliconebased products.
Make sure the product is completely dry before putting it away.
4. Fold the 2 sides into the middle, then roll it up from the opposite end of the valves (so remaining air can escape from the
valves); start again if you feel there is still some air in the tubes.
5. When storing your inflatable, keep it in a clean and dry place that is not affected from major variations in temperature and
other damaging factors. You may store it deflated and rolled up in a bag or assembled and lightly inflated (make sure you do
not subject it to deformations). Store it away from rodents.
HOW TO REPAIR SMALL PUNCTURES
You can repair small punctures with the included repair kit. Please note that in order for the repair to be successful, the
humidity level should be less than 60%, temperature between 65° F/77° F or 18°C/25° C. Avoid carrying out repairs in the rain
or in direct sunlight.
To remove the inside bladder(s) please open the zippers on the inside of the canoe/kayak cover; each air chamber features a
zipper at the bow and a zipper at the stern of the canoe/kayak for quick and easy access. Check that the tube is fully deflated
and lies flat.
1. Draw the shape of the patch exactly where it will be applied, cut a round patch at least 2” / 5 cm larger than the
cut/damaged area.
2. Clean the damaged area and the corresponding side of the patch with a grease remover of the alcohol type and allow for it
to dry for 5 minutes.

3. Apply 3 thin layers of glue on both the patch and the damaged area, allow for it to dry for 5 minutes between layers until the
glue feels tacky.
4. When the third layer of glue is dry, apply the patch without pressing and adjust the positioning if required, press the air
bubbles which may have formed under the patch by smoothing the patch with a round object such as a spoon, do this
procedure by starting in the center of the patch towards the outside, clean the excess glue with a solvent. Drying: 12 hours.
