• Not intended for Commercial Use.

• Never use a compressor or compressed air to inate as it could result in damage or injury.

• Do not transport a fully inated boat or leave it on the beach. Heat from the sun or an increase

in elevation can lead to over-ination and damage.

• Do not over-inate, as it can damage the kayak or cause injury.

Please read this entire manual for additional safety information. Please pay close attention to

items marked DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, IMPORTANT, NOTICE, NEVER, and

ALWAYS.

1.1 BOATING

This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury

hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury

or death.

The precautions listed in this manual and on the craft are not all-inclusive. If a procedure,

method, tool or part is not specically recommended, you must satisfy yourself that it is safe

for you and others, and that the craft will not be damaged or made unsafe as a result of your

decision. REMEMBER – always use common sense when paddling YOUR KAYAK!

2. SPECIFICATIONS

Dimensions:

Length: 400 cm (13 ft)

Width: 61 cm (24 in)

Weight: 32 lbs (14.5 kg)

Max. Person Capacity: 235 lbs (107 kg)

Max. Persons & Gear Capacity: 235 lbs (107 kg)

Recommended Pressure:

Main chambers: 6.0 psi (0.41 bar)

Thwart chambers: 1.0-1.5 psi (0.07-0.10 bar)

2.1 CAPACITY

The person/load capacity is determined by the availability of proper seating on the kayak.

Acceptable seating determines the number of passengers, not the overall load capacity.

WARNING: Do not exceed the certied maximum capacities under any circumstances.

Overloading will reduce freeboard and increase the likelihood of swamping, especially in heavy

seas. Overloading causes handling to become sluggish, making it dicult to react quickly.

2.2 FEATURES

Performance: Aluminum Frame and high pressure air chambers provide a hull speed comparable

to a hard-shell

Quick set up: Compared to Frame and Skin Kayaks, high pressure air chambers reduce frame

parts for faster set-up time.

Durable: Heavy-duty outer skin for extreme puncture resistance

Style: Because of the narrow beam, it paddles like a rigid hard-shell kayak

Portability: No roof rack needed! Pack in the trunk of your car or y it to remote destinations.

1. Your AirFusion™ kayak comes direct from the factory with the Bow and Stern Ribs, as well as

the main ination tubes already installed. However, should you take your kayak apart, you

will need to place the bow and Stern Ribs into each end of the kayak and secure the bottom of

them into place using the Velcro loops at the bottom position.

2. With the main air chambers deated, insert each into the outer cover, making sure the valves

are facing inwards. Also, note that each chamber has markings at the ends that indicate proper

placement and orientation within the outer cover.

3. Align the Velcro patches on the outer side of the chambers with the Velcro patches on the inner

side walls of the outer cover and connect them together.

See gure 2 on next page.

3.2 SET UP

1) Familiarize yourself with the dierent assembly parts.

a) All the assembly poles have a number marked on them at one end.

b) The front Thwart or “air bag” is much larger than the rear Thwart. The front end of the

thwart (this is the portion that will face the bow of the kayak) is smaller than the back

end (the portion that you will brace your feet against)

c) The rear thwart or “air bag” is much smaller than the front Thwart. The front end of the

thwart (this is the end that will face the stern of the kayak) is slightly smaller than the

back end (the portion that will be directly behind your seat).

2) Assemble the frame poles by interlocking the shock corded ends together.

3) Install the Foam Floor. The Foam Floor should be placed with the wider end at the cockpit.

You can use the front thwart alignment line, printed on the inside of the kayak, to align the

front end of the oor. Make sure that the Velcro loop on the hull of the kayak comes up

through the hole in the oor. See gure 3.

4) Once the poles are assembled and the oor is installed, begin by inserting pole #1 into the

sleeve on the bottom of the front thwart (leave deated) making sure that the numbered end

of the pole is at the back end of the front thwart. See Figure 4.

5) Install pole #1 into the front end of the kayak connecting it with the bottom portion of the

Bow Rib. The pole should be placed on top of the foam oor and the numbered end of the

pole should be at the cockpit of the kayak. See Figure 5.

a) Tip: Connect pole #1 with the Bow Rib through the zipper on the deck at the front end of

the kayak.

6) Insert pole #2 into the sleeve on the bottom of the rear thwart (leave deated) making sure

that the numbered end of the pole is at the back end of the Rear Thwart. See Figure 6.
