PATENTED

It is our goal, at Advanced Elements, to develop new and unique paddles-

ports products that enhance our customers’ outdoor experience. Our focus

is on designing and manufacturing “Inatable kayaks with cuing edge

technology”. Our kayaks incorporate many dierent materials and compo-

nents and deliver high performance at a very reasonable price. We are the

makers of the AdvancedFrame™ Inatable kayaks, DragonFly™ Inatable

kayaks and StraitEdge™ Canoe and Kayaks. The AdvancedFrame™ Kayaks

are a hybrid of a folding frame kayak and an inatable kayak. Its bow slices

through water like a knife and rivals the tracking of hard-shell kayaks. The

stern acts as a skeg increasing the tracking performance. The DragonFly™

kayaks are durable and lightweight. They have built-in rigid forms that in-

crease the performance once it is fully inated. You can take our inatables

with you anywhere in the world and no roof rack is needed! Keep it in the

trunk of your car and paddle whenever you want or pack it into a remote

wilderness area and paddle where no one has paddled before. Simply inate

with a foot pump and hit the water in minutes. Please visit our website for

more information on our products or to nd a dealer near you.

AdvancedFrame Expedition™ Kayak Capacity Label

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

Good Stability: Low center of gravity design provides good stability and easy paddling.

Multiple Chambers: 9 Chambers provide additional buoyancy and unique kayak shape.

Easy to Set Up: New Twistlok™ valves and high ow Spring™ valves allow for quick setup time.

Comfortable: Raised deck and adjustable lumbar seat provide comfort for hours of paddling.

Hull Design: Built-in Aluminum ribs dene the bow and stern and improve tracking.

3. ASSEMBLY/INFLATING/DEFLATION INSTRUCTION

The AdvancedFrame Expedition™ Kayak has a rigid frame in the bow and stern that enhances its

performance.

3.1 Assembly

The illustration below shows the general assembly of the kayak. Your kayak comes from the

factory pre-assembled. The only assembly you should need to do is aach the adjustable seat.

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Step 1

1. Your AdvancedFrame Expedition™ kayak comes from the factory pre-assembled however

should you take it apart you will need to insert the aluminum Bow Rib and the Stern Rib into

the webbing slots on the cover of the AdvancedFrame™ tube (while deated).

2. Place the AdvancedFrame™ tube (with Ribs installed), into the Outer Skin, making sure that

the air valve is upright and at the back of the boat and lined up with the opening on the outer

cover. Chamber 1 and 2 are separate chambers but equalize in pressure because they are

inside a fabric cover. Ideally you want to put half of the air in chamber 1 and half in chamber

2. This way if you suddenly lose pressure in one chamber you should have another chamber

as a safety.

3. With the AdvancedFrame™ tube installed inside the outer skin place the inatable oor

inside the center of the AdvancedFrame Expedition™ with twist valve up.

4. Aach the adjustable backrest to the AdvancedFrame™ side tubes by fastening buckles.

3.2 Understanding Your Valves

Advanced Elements AdvancedFrame Expedition™ kayak uses the following valves. It has the

function and durability of other military type valves and is compatible with most standard

pumps. The lock nut holds the valve in place with the cover for easy ination. The following

gures will have details on how to operate the valves.

NOTE:

Deate - Push-in center stem and

rotate clockwise to the locked position.

Valve stem should be pushed-in.

Inate - Push-in center stem and

rotate counter-clockwise to the locked

position. Valve stem should be pushed out.

3.3 Inating

IMPORTANT: Before inating, check to be sure that the kayak is completely assembled. Inate

your kayak in the following order. Failure to follow these instructions may cause damage to

yourkayak.Donotoverinate.

1. Partially inate chamber 1 until the kayak begins to ll out or appears to be half way inated

then close cap. Check to be sure the valve is in the inate position (See Figure 1).

2. Inate chamber 2 until the AdvancedFrame™ tube is rm to touch (2.0 psi ONLY).

3. Inate chamber 3 “oor“ (using appropriate ing). Twist valve open to inate and twist

closed when complete (See Figure 2). Fill until rm. DoNotOver-Inate! (1.0 psi ONLY)

4. Inate Coaming chambers 4 & 5 until rm. Never over-inate! (1.0 psi ONLY)

5. Inate chamber 6 & 7/8 & 9 for desired deck li. Never over-inate! (1.0 psi ONLY)

6. Make sure all valves are closed tightly and properly.

7. Finally, Insert Plastic Bow and Stern forms into pocket on bow and stern (Figure 3).

INFLATION TIPS

Use either a bellows style foot pump or two-way hand pump to inate to your kayak. Be sure that

the ing on the pump hose ts snug in the valve on the kayak. NEVER USE COMPRESSORS,

CO2 OR COMPRESSED AIR AS THEY MAY DAMAGE YOUR KAYAK. The main chambers use

high-end military style, plunger valves (Push in and twist to activate the spring-loaded check

valve for inflating, or push-in and twist to lock open for deflating).

3.4 OverInation

CAUTION: Water temperature and weather will aect the air pressure of the kayak. In cold

weather and water your kayak will lose some pressure. If this occurs, you may want to add a

bit more air to the kayak to improve performance. In hot weather or prolonged sunlight, the air

inside the kayak will expand. You must let some air out of the appropriate chambers to prevent

the kayak from failing due to overpressure. You should avoid exposing your kayak to extreme

temperatures (hot or cold).

3.5 Deation

1. Remove the caps from chamber 1 & 2.

2. Push stems inward and rotate to deate position (See Figure 1).

3. Open twist valves on chambers 3 through 9.

4. Once the chambers are deated you can use your pump to vacuum out any additional air for

improved folding. This requires a pump capable of deating.

3.6 Folding

NOTICE: Reverse your pump to completely deate all chambers.

1. Completely deate all air chambers, thoroughly dry kayak and remove the seat. Reversing

your pump to pump out all the remaining air will make folding easier.

2. Remove plastic Bow and Stern forms then lay kayak out at.

3. Fold in half, down the center (right to le) (A).

4. Fold into 5 equal sections.

5. Place into duel bag.
