PADDLE ASSEMBLY:
SELECT MODELS ONLY.
Join the three shafts together by screwing them together with the
two couplers. Attach the blade to the shafts by screwing onto the
end of the shaft.
GUIDELINES FOR USAGE:
These kayaks may be wider than a typical kayak, which means they
may feel more stable. However, as with any narrow, at bottom
kayak, users must be aware of the possibility of the kayak tipping
and compensate for it. Paddle with short, even and easy strokes.
Paddle close to the kayak with the paddle almost vertical. Pull with
one hand and push with the other. If the nose of the kayak is moving
right to left you are probably paddling too hard. Ease off on the
force of your stroke to reduce the swaying of the front end. Paddling
backward or breaking can sometimes offer quick maneuverability.

To inflate using any Coleman®or Sevylor®Dual Action Hand
Pump or other inflation device:
3. When fully inflated, seal valve by pushing in
with pump nozzle. This will seal the internal
yellow stopper and keep air from escaping
while closing cap. Gently twist adapter sleeve
to right while backing pump out of valve.
4. Fully remove pump and close external
cap. Valve should appear depressed
into itself.

IMPORTANT! Inate the product chambers in the following order:
1. Inate the oor chamber(s).
2. Inate the outside main chamber(s).
The chambers on the product will also be numbered to indicate
order of ination. This order of ination will ensure the proper volume
and buoyancy of the safety chamber.
Note: To inate the mini Double Lock™ valve, which is used on
some of the Sevylor®product oors and seat bottoms, follow the
same ination instructions above or previous instructions, using the
mini Double Lock™ valve adapter.
Water temperature and weather does affect the pressure in
inatable products. In cold weather your product will lose some
pressure due to the fact the air will contract. If this occurs, you
may want to add a little air to improve your products performance.
However, in hot weather, the air will expand. You must let some air
out to prevent your product from failing due to overpressure. You
should avoid exposing your product to extreme temperatures
(hot or cold).
CAUTION!
DEFLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Coleman®or Sevylor®QuickPump™ unit:

SEVYTEST™ GAUGE
Some of the Sevylor®products are equipped with a Sevytest™
gauge. The Sevytest™ device is a pressure gauge, not an ination
gauge. The Sevytest™ gauge is found on the side wall, inside the
main chamber(s). The purpose is to show you when to let some air
out after the pressure has increased due to temperature change.
The principle of the Sevytest™ gauge is based on the lengthening
of the PVC under the inuence of pressure. Once the boat is
properly inated, note the position of the Sevytest™ indicator.
Then periodically check the Sevytest™ gauge and let out enough
air to keep the test strip in the same general area. If the Sevytest™
indicator is in the “+” zone, add pressure to the product. If the
Sevytest™ indicator is in “-” zone, release pressure from
the product.
