Assembly Instructions Triton Vuoksa 2 advanced

Dear Customer,

At first: please do not be alarmed by the extent of these instructions!

The assembling instructions are very detailed and almost every step is illustrated. You will notice that it

will help you at one point or another. After a few times and with a little practice you won’t need the

manual anymore.

You have purchased a Triton Vouksa 2 advanced - a powerful touring kayak with extremely high

stability and stiffness, which has been one of the best-selling folding kayaks in Europe in recent years.

The body stiffness results from the high structural performance of the frame; on the other hand the hull

is designed to fit the frame perfectly. This is why the first few setups are power intensive, since frame

and skin have to adapt to another (the hull expands a bit while/after assembling the first couple of

times). The assembling gets then easier each time.

Please take your time for the first assembling to learn about the special features. It is strongly

recommended following the single steps in the instructions carefully! Otherwise, it will be

unnecessarily difficult. After some practice you will build it up without much hassle in about 20-30

minutes. Always keep in mind that no one is born a master, and the individual assembling has to be

learned for each folding boat. As a "reward" of the assembling you get a fast, stiff and stable touring

kayak, which is characterized by excellent handling and a strong hull!

If you have any questions, your dealer will be happy to assist you. Otherwise, you can also contact us

directly - as an importer (call: 0049/731/4007675, mail: k[email protected]).

Please also consider the instructions of “Care and Accessories” at the end of this manual. Especially if

you are planning extensive tours in salt water, which requires special care!

We hope you will enjoy your new kayak!

Brief overview of assembling:

1. Assembling bow: Attach 4x stringer elements without lock, 4x stringer elements with

lock and install cross rib #1

2. Assembling stern: Attach 4x stringer elements without lock, Attach 4x stringer elements

This short description should provide a general overview of the basic structure of assembling.

For the first few times please consider the following detailed assembly instructions and read

them carefully before you get going:

1) Overview parts

Please first get all parts out the pack and spread them out. It is best to sort the parts

according to the content list.

2) Assembling Bow

You need:

1x Bow element with a long fixed rod with

two flexible pickups (encircled on the left)

1x Keel fork (both identical)

4x Stringer element without lock

4x Stringer element with lock

1x Cross rib #1 with steel hooks on top

First mount the keel fork on the keel rod of

the bow element. The plug-in connections

all have all so-called snap buttons, which

snap into place when plugging on.

The clips of the keel have to show upwards.

Attach a stringer element without lock to

each of the 4 pickups of the bow element.

Then attach one stringer element with lock

to each of them.

Install cross rib #1. Therefore, insert the two

steel hooks diagonally from underneath into

the pickup on the ridge bar. Then bring the

cross rib in an upright position.

Then insert the bottom of the cross rib into

the pickup on the keel rod. (NOTE: This has

to be the SECOND step AFTER having

connected it to the ridge bar!)

Insert the small pin into the receiver and

then slide it backwards into the opening

towards the center of the boat (as shown on

the left).

Then clip the stringer elements into the C-

clips of the cross rib.

Ensure, that all snap buttons face inside

the kayak:

The bow element is fully assembled and

should result in the image on the left.

3) Assembling stern

You need:

1x Stern element with two long fixed rods

1x Keel fork (both identical)

4x Stringer element without lock

4x Stringer element with lock

1x Cross rib #4 with two clips on top

Proceed likewise as with the bow element:

Attach a stringer element without lock to

each of the 4 pickups of the bow element.

Then attach one stringer element with lock

to each of them.

Mount the keel fork on the keel rod of the

stern element. Again, make sure, the clips

of the keel show upwards.

Insert cross rib #4 into the receiver on the

keel and clip all the stringer into the C-

clips. The two fixed rods of the stern

element have to be clipped into the to

clips on top of the cross rib. Make sure,

that they overlap equally (as shown on

the left).

snap button

Again, make sure, all snap buttons face

inside the kayak:

The stern element is fully assembled and

should result in the image on the left.

4) Inserting bow and stern element / tensioning the hull

Spread out the hull.

Then insert the bow element into the hull.

Make sure to place the frame centered

Now push the frame flatly into the bow.

It is best to kneel inside the boat and

take the frame at the back ends of the

stringer elements.

Try to orientate at the ridge bar and the

reinforcement strip on the deck to insert

the frame centrally.

Push the frame firmly into the bow as far

as you can.

Make sure, the two pickup elements at the

ridge bar are pointing towards the center

of the kayak (this is where the coaming is

inserted later on).

Proceed likewise with the stern.

Push the frame flat into the bow and as

far as you can.

Make sure to take the filling tubes for the

sponsons between the stringer elements.

Again, make sure to insert the stern

element centrally. Orientate at the two

ridge bars on top of the cross rib. They

should have the same distance to the

sides.

Now attach the two keel ladders to the

keel forks. (It doesn't matter, where to

attach which part.)

Now bow and stern are getting connected

and tensioned. In order to do this, remove

the split pins on keel ladder.

And then proceed exactly as described.

Please read through the following

section before going to work:

The keel ladder part with the

hemispherical ends is placed "UNDER"

the ladder with the riveted half tubes.

IMPORTANT:

Prior to this operation take the stringer

elements out the skin. This will relieve

the keel and will avoid any blockage.

You can pull up bow and stern without any

problem. The skin can flex and the frame

won’t jam.

(You see this very clearly on the pictures

on the left).

If the stringer elements are not removed

from the skin, an unfortunate pressure on

the keel rods is created, which may

damage them.

Slowly press the aligned keel ladders

down.

Put the stringer elements back into the

hull (see the left picture).

Especially the first time a high tension

occurs. This is normal and will decrease

with further assembling.

Then insert the split pins back through the

holes and wrap the rubber around it.

5) Connecting stringer

The connecting of the stringer elements is

a process that you have to learn.

Especially the precise alignment of the

"locks" to another is crucial to prevent

jamming. This connection technology

adds a lot to the overall stiffness of the

boat.

For one, you "press" the excess length,

the two stringer element with lock of bow

and stern have, "into the boat length" and

on the other hand, this connection is

stable, both on pressure and on tension.

A huge advantage on the water!

Note: You can connect the stringer

elements both by pushing them into the

boat, or by pulling them into the boat from

the opposite side.

Give it a try, what suits you better.

Work your way from the bottom up. Start

with the lower stringer elements.

First take one of the four small sleeves

and slide it onto one of the stringer

element (see top picture).

Then take the stringer element (as in the

second picture) and align the locks

exactly to another.

The mouths have to "look at each other".

This is crucial, otherwise it will be

unnecessarily difficult.

Push both stringer elements towards the

boat's center. This requires some strength

(especially for the first few times). The

process can also be done - as mentioned

earlier - from the other side, by pulling the

stringer elements to yourself.

Then connect the two locks. You must

align the locks exactly to another, in

order to prevent jamming.

Do the whole process - especially the first

few times - as slowly as possible and

without hassle.

Let the stringer then slowly come back

and make sure that the two elements

form a straight line.

This is very important, too. Once there is

no straight line, the stringer elements will

jam.

If they form a straight line, you still can

adjust some little imprecision, by pressing

with your thumb.

Then slide the sleeve over the connection.

Repeat the process with the remaining 3

stringer elements, from bottom to top.

Especially at the beginning you have to

practice a bit until you find the right way.

But then it is surprisingly easy. The

gratitude is an extremely stiff and strong

connection that contributes a lot to the

performance of your folding kayak.

6) Installation of the coaming

For the coaming you need:

2x bent coaming rod with open ends

4x straight coaming rod with lock

Connect the one straight rod (with the D-

rings for the back rest) to each of the two

bent coaming rods.
