LIFETIME KAYAK Owner's Manual
Transportation
Use caution when transporting your kayak. Be sure to tie down your kayak, but
do not overtighten the straps.
Storage
Be sure to empty the kayak of all water. You should clean the kayak by rinsing
with freshwater, especially if the kayak has been used in salt water or
becomes muddy. Store the kayak out of direct sunlight.
Usage
Sit in the cockpit area of the kayak, centered in the provided seat area.
Using the foot braces, secure your feet so your knees are bent and feel
sturdy. Paddle with your arms evenly apart at a medium speed switching back
and forth from one side to the other. The paddle should enter the water around
your shins and pull out of the water around your hips.
Paddle sports can be physically demanding and dangerous.
CLEANING & CARE
Congratulations on your Lifetime® product purchase. By following the instructions below, your new Lifetime product should provide you with years of service and enjoyment.
Cleaning and Care
Lifetime® Kayaks are stain- and solvent-resistant. Most stains can be removed,
using a mild soap and a soft-bristled brush. Abrasive cleaning materials may
scratch the plastic and are not recommended. Avoid placing a direct heat
source on or near surfaces unless using a heat barrier.
Helpful Tips Your Kayak
- Always store your kayak out of direct sunlight when not in use. Your kayak is manufactured with UV-resistant color, but a kayak stored in direct sunlight will begin to color fade over long periods of time.
- Your new kayak is molded of high-density polyethylene resin. Periodically cleaning with mild soap and water is recommended to keep your kayak looking new.
- Never drag any portion of the kayak over asphalt, rocky, sandy or abrasive surfaces.
- Do not stand or sit on your kayak when out of the water. This can cause damage to the hull.
- During regular use, it is normal to fi nd small amounts of water inside the kayak. Carefully unscrew the black drain plug and tilt the board to let the water drain out. Secure the drain plug when fi nished.
- If your kayak has been exposed to hot sunlight, it is recommended to splash water on the hull to cool the hot surface before it comes in direct contact with your skin.
