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. The mini Double Lock™ valve

purchased from Sevylor Customer Service by calling
1-800-835-3278 (Part Number 5010000707).
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!

additional ¼" on all sides. Always cut a round or oval patch.

2. When the damage is small (a pin hole or tear under 2 inches)
apply a light coat of AirSeal two or three times. Allow ve minutes
to dry between each application.

apply up to ve coats allowing a ve-minute drying period
between coats.
4. Ensure the AirSeal is completely dry before resuming use of

5. When the damage is more extensive, cut a patch (with rounded
corners) using any vinyl material. Generously coat the damaged
area spreading the AirSeal at least 3/8" from the torn edges.
Apply the patch and apply AirSeal to all edges of the patch
making a seal between patch and the item being repaired. Allow

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.
