2 OUR STORY OUR COMPANY was founded on the single principle of innovation. In the early years this meant we were solely focused on innovating our packrafts. KOKOPELLI PACKRAFT was founded out of a garage in Denver, Colorado. Our Vision is to create the opportunity for outdoor enthusiasts to explore nature in its most serene settings. We set to accomplish this by developing a line of high quality packrafts through extensive research and development and by listening to our customers wants and needs. Additionally, we serve as a resource for learning how to use your packraft, finding packrafting trips in your area, and learning about the equipment and techniques that will keep you safe out on the water.

16 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Never use packrafts in water above their rated level. Do not exceed your paddling ability. Always paddle with a partner. Always scout unfamiliar water and portage when necessary. Always wear proper safety equipment including a PFD, helmet, river shoes, and proper paddling gear. Never paddle in flood conditions. Never paddle under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Be aware of appropriate water levels, tidal changes, dangerous currents, and changing weather. Obtain certified first aid training and carry first aid and rescue/ safety equipment. TIPS & TRICKS Proper air pressure is.3.5 PSI. Do not exceed.5 PSI. Always let some air out of your packraft after removing from water for extended periods of time. The sun s heat will cause the air to expand. The higher air pressure can cause damage to the valve and potentially pop the packraft. Always roll up you packraft on a tarp or other material to prevent sand or small rocks from being rolled up with the raft. Store in protective dry bag or other type bag if transporting on the outside of your backpack. Always travel with a patch kit. Instructions on use can be found on our website at kokopellipackraft.com Store unrolled in a dry location out of the sun. Make sure to properly clean and dry prior to storage After fully inflating your raft, cold shock your packraft by placing it in the water and splashing cold water over the tubes. Add additional air as the air inside the raft condenses. Add additional air as necessary throughout your paddle (or if the ambient temperature drops) as the air inside the packraft condenses as it is cooled. 30 3
