Instruction Manual

5. If there is sand or gravel in the kayak, you can hose out the cover, and then wipe it

down with a towel.

6. Most of the time you can just pull out the inatable oor and wipe out the inside of the

kayak absorbing most of the water, then pack it up.

6. REPAIRS

All kayaks come with a repair kit that includes glue and several patches. This should remain

with the kayak in the event that you may need it. If service is required for your kayak, please call

866-262-9076 for assistance.

6.1 Repairing Small Punctures and Cuts

1. Cut a rounded patch at least ¼” or ½” larger than the hole or cut.

2. Clean the area where the patch will be placed with water and/or mild soap.

3. Make sure all surfaces are dry.

4. In a well ventilated area, spread a thin layer of glue on both the patch and on the

damaged area. Let it sit for three to ve minutes or until tacky.

6.2 Repairing Pinholes

1. Inate the PVC tube. Locate the pinhole by sponging soapy water over the tube until

you see air bubbles. Mark the location of the pinhole.

2. Deate the tube and dry the aected area. Apply a drop of glue to the pinhole

3. Allow glue to dry completely.

4. Do not inate the kayak for at least twelve hours.

PROBLEM

Does not hold air

while inating.

The kayak is sagging

or under inated.

The kayak will not hold

full pressure for more

than a couple of hours.

SOLUTION

The spring valve uses a plunger system. The only time the plunger

should be in the open position is when you are deating. Make sure

that the plunger is closed to inate. Push the plunger in and rotate

counter-clockwise.

Be sure that the right pump is being used. You need a bellows foot

pump or a double action hand pump. A 12-V electric does not supply

enough pressure to fully inate the kayak. The 12-V can be used to par-

tially inate the kayak but one of the other pumps is needed to top it o.

Make sure that the plunger is in the closed position. It should only

be open when deating. If it is open, the only seal is the black rubber

gasket inside the cap. Even then, a lile air may still leak out.
