Familiarise yourself with the packraft and its equipment before setting out, and always adapt your use to your own skills and the local conditions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">For the safest possible use:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Always wear a suitable and correctly fitted personal flotation device (PFD).<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Inspect the packraft, valves and accessories before every trip. Do not use the packraft if it has damage or leaks that could affect safety.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Always assess the weather, wind, currents and water temperature before entering the water. Conditions can change rapidly.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adapt your trip to your own skills and experience. Take particular care when paddling in cold water, strong currents, rivers or rapids.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Never exceed the maximum load capacity of the packraft. Refer to the specifications for your model.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Keep the packraft away from sharp objects, pointed rocks and other hazards that could damage the tubes or floor.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Children must be supervised by a responsible adult when using the packraft.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Always comply with local rules and regulations relating to activities on the water.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong> TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Included with the packraft:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">1 \u00d7 packraft<br \/>\n1 \u00d7 inflatable seat<br \/>\n1 \u00d7 inflatable backrest<br \/>\n1 \u00d7 tracking fin<br \/>\n1 \u00d7 inflation bag<br \/>\n1 \u00d7 storage bag<br \/>\n1 \u00d7 packing strap<br \/>\n1 \u00d7 repair kit<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Note:<\/strong>\u00a0Paddle not included.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">See\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/kiparapackraft.com\/\">Kiparapackraft.com<\/a>\u00a0for specifications for your particular model.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong> BEFORE FIRST USE<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before using the packraft for the first time, inspect the packraft and all supplied equipment for damage and leaks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Inflate the seat and backrest first, followed by the packraft.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Inspect the tubes, floor, seams, attachment points and valves.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you suspect a leak, the area can be checked using soapy water. Bubbles that continue to form may indicate a leak.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Do not use the packraft if you discover damage or leaks that could affect safety.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong> INSTALLING THE SEAT AND BACKREST<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The seat and backrest should be inflated and installed before inflating the packraft itself, as they may be difficult to position once the packraft is fully inflated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Seat<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Inflate the seat by mouth, with the inflation bag or with an electric pump through the one-way valve.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Position the seat at the rear of the packraft and secure the buckle to the attachment point in the floor to keep the seat in position.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adjust the amount of air to achieve the desired level of comfort.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Backrest<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Open the valve on the permanently attached inflation tube, inflate the backrest by mouth and close the valve securely.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Attach the two backrest straps to the attachment points at the rear of the packraft.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adjust the straps and air pressure until you achieve a comfortable seating position with adequate support.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong> PREPARATION AND INFLATION<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">All KIPARA packrafts are supplied with an inflation bag. A rechargeable electric pump, sold separately, may also be used. When using an electric pump, we recommend carrying the inflation bag as a backup in case the pump battery runs out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unroll the packraft completely on a clean and level surface. Make sure the surface is free from sharp stones, branches and other objects that could damage the material.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open the main valve completely. The one-way valve insert should not remain in the opening. Screw the inflation bag onto the valve. If using an electric pump, select a nozzle that fits the packraft valve.<\/li>\n<li>Open the inflation bag and fill it with air.<\/li>\n<li>Close the opening of the inflation bag and press the air into the packraft.<\/li>\n<li>Repeat until the packraft has taken its correct shape and air begins to escape back between each inflation cycle.<\/li>\n<li>Unscrew the inflation bag from the valve and quickly close the main valve to minimise air loss.<\/li>\n<li>Remove the nozzle from the inflation bag so that the one-way valve can be used. Fill the inflation bag with air and top up the packraft.<\/li>\n<li>If necessary, additional air can be added by mouth through the one-way valve.<\/li>\n<li>Close the valve completely and make sure it is correctly seated before putting the packraft on the water.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The packraft should feel firm and maintain its shape, but it must not be inflated to the point where unnecessarily high pressure develops in the tubes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Air pressure and temperature<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The air pressure inside the packraft is affected by temperature. When an inflated packraft is placed on cold water, the air inside the tubes cools and the pressure may decrease. The packraft may therefore feel softer after a few minutes of paddling. If this happens, go ashore and add air as required.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Similarly, air pressure can increase if the packraft is left in strong sunlight or high temperatures. Check the packraft regularly and release some air if the tubes become excessively firm. This reduces the risk of damage caused by excessive pressure.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong> INSTALLING AND USING THE SPRAY DECK<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">If the packraft is equipped with a permanently attached spray deck with a drawcord, designed to protect the paddler and the inside of the packraft from water and spray. When not in use, the spray deck can be rolled aside.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Unroll the spray deck and make sure it is correctly positioned and not twisted.<\/li>\n<li>Sit in the packraft and pull the spray deck into position around the seating area.<\/li>\n<li>Tighten the opening around your body so that the deck fits comfortably and provides the desired protection against water and spray.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure the spray deck sits evenly and does not restrict your freedom of movement.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">When the spray deck is not required, loosen the drawcord and roll the deck aside. Secure it so that it does not remain loose or interfere with paddling.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong> INSTALLING AND USING THE FIN<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The fin helps the packraft maintain a straighter course while paddling.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Wet the fin with water before installation to reduce friction, then slide it into the fin mount underneath the packraft.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure the fin is correctly positioned and securely attached before putting the packraft on the water.<\/li>\n<li>If the design allows, the fin can be secured with a cord to a suitable attachment point on the packraft.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Remove the fin when paddling in very shallow water where it could come into contact with rocks or the bottom. The fin should also be removed before pulling the packraft ashore to prevent damage to the fin or fin mount.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"9\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong> LOAD AND BAGGAGE<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Never exceed the packraft\u2019s maximum load capacity. The load capacity includes paddler(s), baggage and all other equipment. Refer to the technical specifications for your mode on kiparapackraft.com<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Distribute weight as evenly as possible to maintain good balance and stability.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Secure all baggage and loose equipment so that it cannot shift or fall out while paddling. External baggage must be attached to the designated attachment points on the packraft.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Do not allow sharp or pointed objects to rest directly against the tubes or floor. Wrap such items securely to reduce the risk of punctures or other damage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<ol start=\"10\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong> USE ON WATER<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Choose a suitable location for entering and exiting the packraft. Avoid allowing the floor to come into contact with sharp rocks or other objects.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Take particular care when paddling in shallow water or in areas containing rocks, branches or other obstacles that could damage the floor or tubes.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Do not use the paddle to push or force the packraft over rocks or other obstacles.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">When moving the packraft on land, lift it using the handle inside the packraft. Do not lift the packraft by the spray deck, as this may damage the deck. Do not drag a loaded packraft across the ground, as this can cause unnecessary wear or damage to the floor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<ol start=\"11\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong> REPAIRS<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">For longer trips, we recommend bringing the supplied repair kit, which is suitable for the packraft material.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Repairing small punctures<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Inflate the packraft and locate the leak. If necessary, use soapy water to identify small leaks. Mark the affected area and then deflate the packraft.<\/li>\n<li>Clean and dry the area thoroughly. The surface must be clean and dry before carrying out the repair.<\/li>\n<li>Select a suitable repair patch for the area to be repaired. Position the patch over the puncture and mark the area around it.<\/li>\n<li>Follow the adhesive manufacturer\u2019s instructions regarding application and curing time. Apply adhesive to the repair area and patch as instructed.<\/li>\n<li>Press the patch firmly into position and work from the centre outwards to remove any air pockets, folds or wrinkles.<\/li>\n<li>Allow the repair to cure according to the adhesive manufacturer\u2019s instructions before reinflating and using the packraft.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Major damage<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Large tears, damage to seams or damage around valves should not be repaired in the same way as small punctures. Contact your dealer if you are unsure whether the damage can be safely repaired.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Do not use the packraft until the damage has been properly repaired.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"12\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong> CLEANING, MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rinse the packraft with fresh water after use, particularly after use in salt water.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Remove sand, mud and other dirt.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">If necessary, use a mild cleaning agent. Avoid strong chemicals and solvents.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Allow the packraft to dry completely before packing it away.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Regularly inspect valves, seams\/welds and attachment points.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Deflate the packraft and roll or fold it without creating sharp creases.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Store the packraft in a dry location protected from direct sunlight, excessive heat, sharp objects and heavy loads.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"13\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong> TROUBLESHOOTING<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Packraft loses a small amount of air pressure<\/strong><br \/>\nPossible cause: Temperature change, for example when the packraft is placed in cold water.<br \/>\nSolution: Add air as required.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Packraft continues to lose air<\/strong><br \/>\nPossible cause: Leak or valve problem.<br \/>\nSolution: Inspect the valve and perform a leak test.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Valve is leaking<\/strong><br \/>\nPossible cause: Dirt or incorrectly seated valve.<br \/>\nSolution: Inspect and clean the valve.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Seat or backrest loses air<\/strong><br \/>\nPossible cause: Leak or valve problem.<br \/>\nSolution: Inspect the valve and check for leaks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Fin is loose or comes off<\/strong><br \/>\nPossible cause: Incorrect installation.<br \/>\nSolution: Make sure the fin is correctly installed in the fin mount.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Visible tape around welded areas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">On some models, remnants or edges of tape may be visible on the inside near the spray deck or floor. This tape is used to hold the materials in position during production before the components are welded together.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Visible tape does not, by itself, indicate that a seam has separated or failed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Please visit our YouTube channel for more tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<h3><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BRUKSANVISNING FOR PACKRAFT \u00a0 F\u00d8R DU TAR PACKRAFTEN I BRUK Les bruksanvisningen n\u00f8ye f\u00f8r packraften tas i bruk.
