GETTING STARTED
Please read all the instructions in this owner’s manual. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference if necessary. The manual consists of:
1. Important information
There is a space provided at the beginning of the manual to record important information about your SUP (page 2). This information will come in handy if you need to contact our customer service department.
2. Warranty registration card
As outlined in the warranty section (page 8), you can register your warranty online at our website (www.pelicansport.com) or by mail by filling out and returning the registration card. You can find the registration card in the center of this manual. (page 11).
3. Manufacturer’s Declaration of Origin
Certain governments require a Manufacturer’s Declaration of Origin to complete the registration. The declaration is located in the center of this manual (page 10).
MATERIALS/MANUFACTURING
All Pelican SUP’s are made of high density polyethylene. If your SUP has a Ram-X™ dome on it, please read the information below regarding thermoformed Ram-X™ products.
Your SUP is made of Ram-X™. Its great flexibility offers exceptional shock resistance. This flexibility increases with heat or with the craft’s prolonged exposure to the sun but may also slightly warp the hull. The warping disappears when the hull cools and never affects the craft’s performance.
Ram-X™ is a superior material that was developed and registered in 1978. It quickly became the benchmark of quality in the industry thanks to its shock resistance and ability to regain its initial shape following an impact. Widely hailed by consumers, Ram-X™ is a step above other materials used in the industry.
TRANSPORTATION
Handles located on the SUP enable it to be easily carried by hand
By hand:
Carry the board by using handles located at the front, rear or center depending
on the model.
If necessary, use a device to aid in the transport.
By vehicle:
Remove all accessories before transporting your SUP to avoid losing or damaging
them.
Before starting your vehicle, ensure that the SUP is properly fastened using a
transportation device on the roof of the vehicle or on a trailer.
It is recommended that you stop shortly after starting your trip to double check
that all the connections are secure and the SUP will not move during transport. During a trip in bad weather, remember to regularly check the straps to ensure they do not lose tension after getting wet.
NOTE
Avoid keeping the SUP firmly attached to your vehicle for an extended period of time, particularly when exposed to the sun. This could create distortions in the hull over time.
PRE-LAUNCH CHECKLIST
Always wear a proper personal flotation device (PFD).
Always have an emergency safety kit on hand that is required by applicable law
(whistle, etc.)
Verify that the hardware used to attach the SUP during transport has been
removed.
Make sure the drain plug is securely in place and properly fastened (if applicable).
Make sure the length of your paddle is adjusted according to your size (see details
described in “Basic SUP Principles”).
