3. Assembly Instructions
All NERIS folding kayaks are run through
presale test assembly. However, the first
kayak assembly may seem to be more
challenging then following one. The skin is
being stretched with each assembly and it
will be easier to put the skin on a frame.
Two people kayak assembly is
recommended. The kayak is to be
assembled on even and clean surface.
Avoid assembling the kayak on sand. It may
cause damage to joining parts and more
difficult assembly and disassembly in
future.
The main parts of the kayak are marked
with numbers and pointing arrows for ease
of assembly.
Marking points:
LB – Bow, Left
LS – Stern, Left
LC – Central, Left
RB – Bow, Right
RS – Stern, Right
RC – Central, Right
