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,

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

Hull Design: Built-in aluminum ribs dene the bow and stern and improve tracking

Versatile: The accessory Mounting Bar gives the ability to mount aftermarket rod holders, sh

nder, and other equipment

Easy To Set Up: Preassembled at the factory. Simply unfold, inate and attach the seat

Comfortable: High support, adjustable lumbar seat provides comfort for hours of paddling.

Durable: Abrasion Pads in high use areas for maximum durability.

StraitEdgeTM Angler PRO Inatable Kayak Owner’s Manual

Bow and Stern Design

The bow and stern have removable ribs of high-grade aluminum. When the chambers are inated,

these ribs press against the outer cover and form a high performance bow and stern.

3. ASSEMBLY/INFLATING/DEFLATION INSTRUCTION

The StraitEdgeTM Kayak has a rigid frame in the bow and stern that enhances its performance.

3.1 ASSEMBLY

1. Insert aluminum Bow rib and the Stern rib into the webbing slots on the StraitEdge™ air bags

and webbing slots on the kayak oor, at the bow and stern.

2. Attach air bags to the outer cover by tightening the “air bag compression straps” and buckling

the “air bag buckle”. Do this while the air bag is deated. These are preset at the factory and

may not require any adjustment.

3. Attach the adjustable seat to the StraitEdge™ Angler side tubes by fastening the buckles and

clipping the steel snap hooks to the d-rings behind the seating area.

3.2 ACCESSORY MOUNTING RAIL

The Accessory Mounting Rail can be used with any aftermarket 1” round rail mount shing rod

or accessory holders. The Accessory Mounting Rail does not need to be installed on the kayak if

you are not intending on using it for any rail-mounted accessories.

Installation and Assembly

Make sure to install the Accessory Mounting Rail before ination.

1. Make sure that the Accessory Mounting Rail is in 3 parts, you should have 2 Mounting Rail

Arms and 1 Cross-bar. If the Accessory Mounting Rail is assembled:

I. Locate the push-buttons at the sockets of the Mounting Rail Arms.

II. Depress the push-buttons and separate the Mounting Rail Arms from the Cross-bar.

2. Once you have the Accessory Mounting Rail in 3 parts, slide the Mounting Rail Arms through

the grommets located at the front of the kayak. Make sure that the push-button sockets are

pointed to the front of the kayak. (See Illustrations 1 and 2)

3. Socket the Cross-bar onto the Mounting Rail Arms. Make sure that the push-buttons pop

up through the holes on the Cross-bar. At this same time, make sure that the pushbuttons are

positioned in between the two grommets, not in front of the forward grommets.

(See Illustrations 1 and 2)

4. To remove the Accessory Mounting Rail, press the push-buttons in at the sockets and separate

the Cross-bar from the Mounting Rail Arms, then slide the Mounting Rail Arms out of the

grommets.

StraitEdgeTM Angler PRO Inatable Kayak Owner’s Manual

3.3 UNDERSTANDING YOUR VALVES

Advanced Elements StraitEdgeTM kayak uses the following valves. The Advanced Elements

spring valve 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.

TO INFLATE: use nger to push in center stem, rotate ¼ turn, and allow stem to spring up into

the up/outward position.

TO DEFLATE: Use nger to push in center stem and rotate ¼ turn to lock stem down/inward.

In order to switch the valve from inate to deate or vice-versa, simply use your nger to press

the valve stem down/inward and rotate it a ¼ turn to either lock it down for deate, or unlock it

(stem will spring up) for inate.

How the spring valve works

When the valve is in the inate (up/outward) position, the air being pumped in pushes the

spring-loaded plunger open, allowing air to enter the air chamber, but not letting it escape.

When the valves is in the deate (down/inward) position, the spring loaded plunger is wide

open allowing the air to come rushing out of the air chamber. If the valve is in the inate

position, the valve’s plunger stem will be ush with the rim of the valve. If the valve is in the

deate position, the valve’s plunger stem will be inside, or lower than the rim of the valve. To

change the valve from the inate position to the deate position, simply use your nger to press

the valve plunger stem down/inward, and give it a ¼ turn. This will lock the plunger open

and allow the air to rush out. Use the same procedure in reverse to unlock the valve plunger,

allowing it to spring up into the inate position.

Special note: If you are using a 12v inator, like those that come with most inatable mattresses

or those that plug into car cigarette lighters, you may need to have the valve in the deate

(down/inward) position because those types of pumps typically do not provide enough air

pressure to press the plunger open to allow air into the air chamber. Additionally, 12v inators

do not provide enough pressure to fully inate the kayak, so you will need a secondary pump to

nish the job.

 Usingthe“Screw-on”SpringValveAdaptorwithyourmaininationvalves

The screw-on spring valve adaptor was designed to enable the pump hose to securely connect

to the Advanced Elements sprint valve without falling o during the ination, making ination

easier. The valve adaptor also has a semi-circle protrusion that depresses the valve stem, opening

the valve slightly to allow pumps with pressure gauges to take a constant reading. When

inating the kayak using the Spring Valve Adaptor, the valve should be in the inate position.

Pressure Relief Valves

Your kayak is equipped with a pressure relief valves on the Floor and Main chambers. Should

the pressure in an air chamber exceed the recommended rating, this valve will open slightly to

release some pressure and avoid possible damage. You may hear a slight hiss should this occur.

Care should be taken to not damage this valve and it should not be tampered with.

NOTE: Do not remove the RED valve cap and always ensure the cap is securely hand tightened

for proper performance.

Ination and Deation of the Main Air Chambers should always be done through the Main gray

2-way valves only.

Ination and Deation of the Floor Air Chambers should always be done through the center gray

Boston Valve.

Pressure Relief Valve Maintenance

The PR (pressure relief) valve is a high-performance pressure relief system that can benet from

some very simple periodic maintenance to ensure optimal performance. Additionally, in cases

where your kayak is used in saltwater and/or sandy areas; sand, grit, and salt can build up and

Figure 1. Inflate/ Deflate SpringValve

Special note: the Spring Valve Adaptor comes with all current Advanced Elements pumps,

with the exception of the 12v inator, and will attach to any Advanced Elements pump that does

not have the adaptor already included, with the exception of the 12v inator. The Spring Valve

Adaptor will also attach to some other manufacturer’s pumps, but you must check the

attachment style at the end of the pump hose to be sure it will t.
