5.2 KNOWING YOUR VALVES
Stearns Cordova
™
kayak uses three types of valves. Type II is used to
inflate the floor chambers, Type III is used on Cordova’s main
chambers, and Type IV is used to fill small chambers such as spray
rings and spray deck chambers.
* Type III Deflation Stem can be used in three ways. Press and turn
1/4 in. in either direction to lock in closed(up) position or open(down)
position. Closed position allows one way air flow for inflation. Open
position allows for two way air flow and release until desired effect.
5.3 MAKE SURE BLADDERS ARE ALIGNED:
1. Each internal air chamber is aligned in relation to the cover
which can be adjusted by unzipping the access zipper located
behind the seat
If the air chambers are not aligned or centered:
A. Relieve air pressure
B. Unzip the cover
C. Partially inflate
D. Realign air chambers, zip cover and inflate chambers
2. All valves are closed tightly, protective caps are reinstalled
