Dragonfly™ Inflatable Kayak Owner’s Manual

IMPORTANT:  Inflate your kayak in the following order.  Failure to follow these instructions 
may cause damage to your kayak.  Do not over inflate.  When fully inflated, the width of the 
seating area should be between 15” to 16” at the widest point.

1.   Inflate chamber 1 “main” until the kayak feels firm to the touch.  Never over-inflate!
2.   Inflate chamber 2 “floor” (using appropriate fitting) until firm (1.0 psi ONLY).
3.   Inflate chamber 3 and 4 “wave deflector” (using the appropriate fitting) until firm.  
4.   Make sure all valves are closed tightly and properly.  

 CAUTION: Water temperature and weather will affect 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).

1.   Remove the cap from chamber 1.
2.   Push stem inward and rotate to deflate position.
3.   Twist the valve bodies open on chambers 2, 3, and 4.
4.   Once the chambers are deflated you can use your pump to vacuum out any additional air for    
   improve folding.
