5.1 QUICK START TO INFLATING YOUR KAYAK
Follow steps below. If you do not understand or are unfamiliar with the
following quick start steps, refer to the following pages for detailed
explanation.
1. Unfold and lay out kayak on flat, level ground
DO NOT OVER INFLATE FLOOR CHAMBER beyond 1.0 psi or 0.07 bar
2. First inflate floor chamber, inflate to desired skills and effect
(Increased inflation produces better performance, but more
initial instability. Less inflated floor has opposite effect). Do not
over inflate (see page 11)
DO NOT OVER INFLATE MAIN CHAMBERS beyond 1.75 psi or 0.12 bar
3. Partially inflate the inner chamber (inside the seating area) with
the valve adaptor (inside the patch kit). Refer to page 10 for
valve operation.
4. Partially inflate the outer chamber with the valve adaptor, until
the cover shape begins to fill out. The kayak should feel soft or
limp at this point.
5. Next add air to each chamber until most of the wrinkles are gone
and the kayak feels firm to the touch.
6. Inflate spray ring and spray deck chambers orally or with a
pump.
7. Make sure all air valves are closed and screwed down tightly.
