Diagram of Ination Chambers
3.3 Inating
IMPORTANT: Inate your kayak in the following order. Failure to follow these instructions
may cause damage to your kayak. Do not over inate. Be sure to read directions on operating
the spring valves and twist valves located in the section “Understanding Your Valves”.
1. Inate chamber 1 “main1” until the kayak looks about half way inated.
2. Inate chamber 2 “main2” until the kayak feels rm to touch.
3. Inate chamber 3 “oor” until rm. Do not over-inate. If the oor appears to be expanding
or stretching let some air out immediately.
4. Make sure all valves are closed tightly and properly.
NOTE: Ideally you want to put about half of the air in Chamber 1 and half into chamber 2. This
way if you were to loose pressure in one chamber then you would have the other chamber to
oat the kayak.
3.4 Over Ination
CAUTION: Water temperature and weather will aect the air pressure of the kayak. In cold
weather and water your kayak will lose some pressure. If this occurs, you may want to add a
bit more air to the kayak to improve performance. In hot weather or prolonged sunlight, the air
inside the kayak will expand. You must let some air out of the appropriate chambers to prevent
the kayak from failing due to overpressure. You should avoid exposing your kayak to extreme
temperatures (hot or cold).
3.5 Deation
1. Remove the caps from chamber 1 and 2.
2. Push the stem inward and rotate to the deate position. Do this on both valves.
