VERSION 1/2019
User’s Manual KAYAK SOLAR/019
USA
• A recreational vessel designed for use on internal waterways with an expected wind strength reaching
Grade 4 on the Beaufort Scale inclusive and a determining wave height of up to 0.3 metres inclusive, with
occasional waves up to 0.5 metres of height caused e.g. by vessels passing by.
• The boat has been manufactured in compliance with the EN ISO 6185-1 Standard, Category IIIB.
• Related standards: EN ISO 10087, EN ISO 10240, EN ISO 14945.
Dear Customer,
This manual will help you to easily and safely master your vessel.
It contains a detailed description of the vessel, the supplied or built-in
equipment, its sets as well as information about its control and maintenance. Please read it carefully, thereby getting to know the boat before
actually using it.
If this is your rst vessel or you have changed the type of vessel and
do not know this type well, please get acquainted with its maintenance
and control prior to your rst individual use of the vessel so that it is safe
and comfortable. Your dealer or the National Yacht Federation or club
will recommend you appropriate training courses or qualied instructors.
Do not pull off until the expected sailing conditions (wind strength and
wave height) are appropriate for the construction category of your vessel
and you and your crew are able to control it in these conditions.
Please store this manual in a safe place and hand it over to the new
owner should you sell the vessel.

ACCESSORIES SUPPLIED WITH THE KAYAK:
Transportation bag, compression belt for folded kayak,
User’s Manual with Warranty Certicate, foam sponge in a mesh
bag, gluing set containing glue, patches and valve adapter.
3. Inflation Instructions
Unfold and spread out the kayak. If you are going to use the
tracking n, plug it into the bottom bracket (21). Prior to assembly, inate both seats and footrests. The method for using
the valve (22) is shown in Figure 2.
The Solar kayak can be used in its single, double and triple
version – Refer to Figure 1.
Single version:
Fasten the inatable seat (7) in the bottom bracket (16).
Thread the seat backrest straps (19) through the D-rings (18)
on the side barrels. Thread the strap ends through the plastic
seat buckle (23) – Refer to Detail A.
Fasten the rear footrest (9) in the bracket (15). Thread the
footrest strap through the plastic buckle in the bottom and
tighten it. For correct threading of the strap through the buckle,
refer to Detail B.
Double version:
Fasten the front inatable seat (7) in the bottom bracket (15).
Fasten the rear inatable seat (7) in the bottom bracket (16).
Thread the seat backrest straps (19) through the D-rings (18)
on the side barrels. Thread the strap ends through the plastic
seat buckle (23) – Refer to Detail A.
Fasten the front footrest (8) in the bottom bracket (17) under the front board. Fasten the rear footrest (9) in the bottom
bracket (15). Thread the footrest strap through the plastic
buckle in the bottom and tighten it. For correct threading of the
strap through the buckle, refer to Detail B.
Triple version:
Fasten the front footrest (7) in the bottom bracket (15). Fasten the central and rear seats (7) in the bottom bracket (16).
Thread the seat backrest straps (19) through the D-rings (18)
on the side barrels. Thread the strap ends through the seat
plastic buckle (23) – Refer to Detail A.
Fasten the front footrest (8) under the front board in the bottom bracket (17). Thread the footrest strap through the plastic
buckle in the bottom and tighten it. For correct threading of the
strap through the buckle, refer to Detail B.
The oval-shaped xture (15) has several positions for xing
the foot-rest (9). The positions are numbered and correspond
to different heights of paddlers. Position No. 1 corresponds to
a body height of (150–160) cm, Position No. 2 corresponds to
a body height of (160–170) cm, Position No. 3 corresponds to
a body height of (170–180) cm and Position No. 4 corresponds
to a body height exceeding 180 cm.
Lace the foot-rest’s fastening strap (9) through the holes in the
foot-rest xture (15) on the bottom. Proceed from the chosen
position number through all the holes up to the plastic buckle
on the end of the xture; lace the end of the fastening strap
through the buckle and tighten it – see Detail B.
Inate the air chambers in the following order: sidewall cylinders (1) and the bottom (2).
A foot pump or piston pump with a valve adapter is the best
way of inating the craft (the valve adapter is included in the
gluing set) – see Picture 2b. Prior to inating the canoe, check
the valves. Set the valves to the closed position. For how to
use the valves – see Picture 2.
Inate the air chambers until they are rm but not completely
stiff. The air chambers should provide a feeling comparable to
squeezing a ripe orange. You can check the exact operating
pressure by using a suitable pressure gauge (optional accessory) – see Figure 2a.
The spanner for assembling the valves is an optional accessory – see Picture 2c.
ATTENTION
The maximum operational pressure in air chambers is
0.02 MPa. If the ambient temperature increases (e.g. owing to sunlight), the pressure in the air chambers of the
canoe can rise rapidly. We recommend releasing some
air from all air chambers of the canoe after pulling it out
of the water. This will prevent possible destruction of
the air chambers. However, do not forget to continuously check air pressure in the chambers afterwards,
too. A corresponding reduction in operating pressure is
up to 20% within 24 hours.
ATTENTION
When using the boat, always seal the valves with their
valve caps. This will keep dirt out of the valves. Dirt cancause leaky valve seals.
4. Using the Boat
The Solar kayak is designed for recreational use and water
tourism.
Whenever the kayak is used on waterways, Waterway Trafc
Rules should be observed. Operation of the Solar a inatable
canoe does not require any licence provided the people who
operate the canoe know the techniques of small boat operation within the scope necessary for its operation, as well as the
valid navigation rules of the particular country.
The Solar kayak can be used on still or gently owing waters
up to Difculty Grade WW 2. Use double-bladed kayak paddles with a length of approx. 210 cm. People travelling in the
kayak should sit in their seats and wear otation life-jackets.
