ASSEMBLY/INFLATING/deflation INSTRUCTION The AdvancedFrame Expedition™ Kayak has a rigid frame in the bow and stern that enhances its performance. 3.1 Assembly The illustration below shows the general assembly of the kayak. Your kayak comes from the factory pre-assembled. The only assembly you should need to do is attach the adjustable seat. INFLATABLE FLOOR Step 3 BOW RIB ADVANCEDFRAME STERN RIB Step 1 Step 1 Step 2 OUTER COVER 1.
TM 2. Place the AdvancedFrame™ tube (with Ribs installed), into the Outer Skin, making sure that the air valve is upright and at the back of the boat and lined up with the opening on the outer cover. Chamber 1 and 2 are separate chambers but equalize in pressure because they are inside a fabric cover. Ideally you want to put half of the air in chamber 1 and half in chamber 2. This way if you suddenly lose pressure in one chamber you should have another chamber as a safety. 3.

Inflate your kayak in the following order. Failure to follow these instructions may cause damage to your kayak. Do not over inflate. 1. Partially inflate chamber 1 until the kayak begins to fill out or appears to be half way inflated then close cap.
TM INFLATION TIPS Use either a bellows style foot pump or two-way hand pump to inflate to your kayak. Be sure that the fitting on the pump hose fits snug in the valve on the kayak. NEVER USE COMPRESSORS, CO2 OR COMPRESSED AIR AS THEY MAY DAMAGE YOUR KAYAK. The main chambers use high-end military style, plunger valves (Push in and twist to activate the spring-loaded check valve for inflating, or push-in and twist to lock open for deflating). 3.
AdvancedFrame Expedition™ Inflatable Kayak Owner’s Manual 4. GUIDELINES FOR USAGE Paddlesports can be very dangerous and physically demanding. The user of this product should understand that participation in paddlesports may involve serious injury or death. Observe the following safety standards whenever using this product. The user of this product acknowledges both an understanding and an assumption of the risk involved in paddlesports.
TM Do not store your kayak for an extended period of time while wet. Follow these steps for removing excess water. 1. Unzip the 2 zippers that run down the center of the kayak. 2. Remove the gray fabric tube and cover, along with the inflatable floor, separating it from the outer cover. In order to completely separate these parts, it is necessary to unscrew the locking nut on the spring valve. 3. Use a sponge or towel and wipe up any excess water in the outer cover. 4.
AdvancedFrame Expedition™ Inflatable Kayak Owner’s Manual 7. TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM Does not hold air while inflating. SOLUTION The spring valve uses a plunger system. The only time the plunger should be in the open position is when you are deflating. Make sure that the plunger is closed to inflate. Push the plunger in and rotate counter-clockwise. The kayak is sagging or under inflated. Be sure that the right pump is being used. You need a bellows foot pump or a double action hand pump.
