• 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

1.1 BOATING SAFETY

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!

2.1 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: Drop-stitch oor and aluminum rib-frame technology provide excellent

performance.

Durable: Heavy-Duty PVC tarpaulin hull and 3-chamber construction

Stable: 35” width provides increased stability

3. ASSEMBLY/INFLATING/DEFLATION INSTRUCTION

3.1 ASSEMBLY

Your kayak comes from the factory pre-assembled. The only assembly you should need to do

is attach the adjustable seats, foot pegs, and n. Follow the instructions and gures on the next

pages for installing the foot pegs and tracking n.

3.2 UNDERSTANDING YOUR VALVES

Advanced Elements StraitEdge2TM kayak uses the following valves. The 2-way military valve has

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

pumps. 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.

How the 2-way Military 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 posi-

tion, 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 al-

low 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

3.3 INFLATION

IMPORTANT: Inate your kayak in the following order. Failure to follow these instructions

may cause damage to your kayak. Do not over inate. Be sure to read directions on operating

the valves in the section “Understanding Your Valves”.

1. Begin by unfolding the kayak and laying it out at. Insert foot brace tracks into webbing

mounting pockets located on kayak main chambers before ination. Orient each of the foot pegs

so that the adjustment tab on the foot plate is facing towards the bow of the kayak. First insert

the foot peg track into the webbing loop nearest to the seating area and the insert the other end of

the track into the webbing pocket at the bow of the kayak. (See gures, Steps 1-4 on next page)

2. Check to be sure all 3 valve plungers are in the UP or Inate position. (See gure 1). Using the

adaptor located in your repair kit, inate Main Chamber 1 until rm to the touch (2.25 psi MAX).

3. Inate Main Chamber 2 until rm to the touch (2.25 psi MAX).

4. Inate oor Chamber 3 until rm (4-6 psi MAX).

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

6. Attach kayak seats to the kayak using the large buckles and adjust for desired support. To

keep seat backrest upright, you can adjust and clip the smaller seat straps to the d-rings on the

kayak directly behind the seat position.

7. Adjust foot pegs for desired bracing by depressing the tabs on the foot plates and sliding along

tracks.

8. If paddling at water, attach tracking n to mount on bottom of kayak. If paddling

whitewater, leave n o of kayak.

3.4 OVER INFLATION AND TEMPERATURE REGULATION

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).
