AdvancedFrame™ Inatable Kayak Owner’s Manual

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)

5. If there is sand or gravel in the kayak, you can hose out the cover, and then wipe it

down with a towel.

6. Most of the time you can just pull out the inatable oor and wipe out the inside of the

kayak absorbing most of the water, then pack it up.

6. REPAIRS

All kayaks come with a repair kit that includes glue and several patches. This should remain

with the kayak in the event that you may need it. If service is required for your kayak, please call

866-262-9076 for assistance.

6.1 Repairing Small Punctures and Cuts

1. Cut a rounded patch at least ¼” or ½” larger than the hole or cut.

2. Clean the area where the patch will be placed with water and/or mild soap.

3. Make sure all surfaces are dry.

4. In a well ventilated area, spread a thin layer of glue on both the patch and on the

damaged area. Let it sit for three to ve minutes or until tacky.
