Assembling The Double Paddle; Assembling The Screw Valve; Inflating; Inflation Sequence - Crivit IAN 103565 Bedienungsanleitung

This is particularly important when
inflating the five air chambers because
incorrect pressure distribution can lead
to kayak instability and to the interfe-
rence of its handling characteristics.
1 . Select a smooth, clean surface with sufficient
space to unpack and unfold the kayak .
Make sure that all of the individual parts are
present and in a flawless state .
2 . From the second assembly onwards, the kayak
should be checked for possible damage .
Inspect for holes and tears, and seal any that
you find, as described later . You cannot repair
any damage once you are afloat .
Assembling the double
paddle (Fig. E)
Note:
The paddle can be converted into a single blade
paddle by removing the paddle centre section
for when 2 occupants are present .
• First push both drip-rings over both ends of
the paddle tubes so that they sit below the
push button on the taper of the pipe . Then
connect both paddle tubes with the centre
section so that both push buttons engage
audibly and visibly .

Assembling the screw valve

(Fig. F)
The upper side chambers of the kayak
are each equipped with a threaded opening for
the attached screw valve .
Pull the loop of the valve over the threaded
opening so that it is firmly placed in the
groove intended for it . This process requires
sensitivity and patience, however, this must be
carried out carefully so that there is no chance of
the valve coming free of the opening later on .
Now turn the base firmly in a clockwise
direction into the threaded opening .

Inflating

WARNING!
• Follow these directions in the correct,
consecutive order when inflating the air
chambers .
• The recommended operating pressure is
0 .05 bar (= 50 mbar = 0 .73 psi) .
• Avoid excessive inflating of the air chambers
to prevent the danger of the material
stretching or the seams tearing .
• Use a standard foot pump for inflating the
article or a double stroke piston pump with the
corresponding connection and a manometer if
necessary .
• Do not use a compressor or a compressed
air bottle to inflate the article because this can
cause article damage .
• Always completely inflate all of the air
chambers .
Inflation sequence (Fig. G)
Inflate the air chambers in the following
sequence:
1. Floor chamber with stopper
valve
2. Lower side chamber with stopper
valve
3. Upper side chamber with screw
valve
4. Lower side chamber with stopper
valve
/
5. Upper side chamber with screw
valve
