AdvancedFrame™ Convertible Inatable Kayak Owner’s Manual

Most areas have local laws and regulations about the use and equipment of small boats. Usually

a phone call to the local authorities will provide you with the needed information. Some areas

may require that you register and display a registration number on the front of your kayak.

Once you have been issued a number, it is best to ax it to the kayak by printing it on the

material with a permanent ink marker. If you are required to display a sticker or vinyl leers, an

inatable boat ID kit can be purchased at most marine stores.

Your kayak is designed to be paddled with a double bladed kayak paddle. Paddle with short

and even strokes. Keep the blade close to the kayak and the paddle almost vertical. Pull with

your lower hand and push with your upper hand. To reduce the amount of swaying at the

front of the kayak, ease o on the force of your stroke. Paddling with a backward stroke can

sometimes oer quick maneuverability.

ALWAYS practice safety and take the time to learn about the area where you are paddling. Get

ocial information about the local tides and currents before paddling there. Be careful that

you do not over estimate your strength, your endurance or your skill. Be careful never to under

estimate weather conditions. Be aware of the dangers before you begin. Be aware of your skill

level. Be sure you understand and accept the risk of these dangers. There are many paddling

clubs all over the world. These can be a great source of information on places to paddle, people

to paddle with and most importantly, continued safety practices.

5. PROPER CARE AND STORAGE

Your inatable kayak is made of very durable materials. However, like anything else, proper

use and care will increase the life of your kayak. Before storing your kayak, make sure it is both

CLEAN and DRY. You may clean your kayak with a mild soap and water. NEVER use strong

solvents to clean your kayak as they will destroy the material.

NEVER unzip the chamber cover when the kayak is inated.

Be sure to rinse your kayak with fresh water aer every use in salt water and allow it to dry

thoroughly before storing. Use a dry towel to wipe up all moisture. It should be deated and

kept out of direct sunlight when stored. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures (hot or cold).

If your boat is exposed to freezing temperatures while storing, allow it to warm up before

unfolding.

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 inatable oor, 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. Wipe o the oor (top and boom)
