Assembly Instruction - nortik scubi 3

Dear customer,

You have purchased a nortik scubi 3 – an innovative hybrid kayak for recreational use. With

great performance, little packing size and weight for a boat of this size, it is extremely

versatile in use.

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.

The experience shows that the first assembly needs more time than you will need later and

we ask you to assemble the boat step by step according to this instruction. After some

practice, you will assemble the nortik scubi 3 easily within 15 minutes!

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

The arrow always points in

direction of the bow.

On the first rod (1) the marking

rod (5) it is in the back.

3) Assembly

General proceeding: First you assemble the keel rods and the stem and insert them into the

hull. Then mount the cross ribs and at last inflate the sponsons.

First unfold the hull and take out

one of the stem elements (they

are identical).

Insert the stem element as far

as possible into the stern.

Fold up the flexible rod and clip

it to the cross tube, attached to

the hull.

Take the keel rod #5 (the arrow

pointing towards the bow is on

the rearmost position) and push

it through the sleeve on the hull

before clipping it to the stem

element.

Push both as far as possible

into the stern. Make sure

everything sits centrally.

Take the keel rod #4 (two open

ends and a riveted clip) and

push it through the sleeve on

the hull (behind the middle seat)

towards the bow.

Push it then backwards

towards the stern through the

sleeve under the back seat.

Again, make sure everything

sits centrally.

Now the keel rod #3 (with a

riveted half-tube) is clipped to it.

Push it from the front under

the middle seat and clip it onto

keel rod #4.

Now install the second stem

element in the bow. Proceed

in the same way as in the stern

Slide the stem element as far as

possible into the bow.

Then fold the flexible rod

upwards and clip it from below

into the cross-tube installed in

the hull.

Install keel rod #1 (two open

ends and the arrow pointing

towards the bow is on the

forward position).

Push it from behind through the

sleeve on the hull before

clipping it to the stem element.

Again, push both as far as

possible into the bow. Make

sure everything sits centrally.

Take keel rod #2 (with a

hemispherical end) and push it

with the open end through the

sleeve under the front seat.

Then clip it onto the stem

element.

bow

The keel elements of bow and stern are getting connected now and will so provide an

essential part of the longitudinal tension.

First make sure, that bow- and stern

element still are in a central position.

Then take out the split pin.

Pull up keel rod #2 and #3 with the riveted

half-tube on top.

IMPORTANT:

Do not grab the rods too close to the

ends, but at least a length of the riveted

half-tube away from it! (see picture on the

left)

Pull them both up, until you can fit the

lower (with hemispherical end) in the

upper (with the riveted half-tube) rod.

Make sure that bow and stern do not

twist sidewise, but stand as much as

possible upright.

Slowly push both rods downwards into the

hull. This is how the longitudinal tension is

provided by pressing the frame into the

hull.

Make also sure, not to twist the rods

while pushing them down.

If the rods are twisted, it can be difficult to

re-enter the split pin in the next step.

Push the split pin through the two rods …

…and put the rubber band around to

secure it.

Now install the cross ribs.

First take one of the two identical open

cross ribs C & D.

Push the boat skin a bit aside and place

the cross rib behind the middle seat

diagonally onto the clip on the keel rod.

(see picture on the left)

Then right it slowly up, while the clips

interlock.

When the cross rib sits upright, clip in the

tubes holding the seat on the back side of

it (see picture below).

Proceed likewise with the second cross

rib:

Join it diagonally to the counterclip on the

keel in front of the middle seat and right it

up.

Clip in the front of the seat tubes.
