Product Usage Instructions

Maintenance

1. Inflate the boat according to the PSI marked besides the valve.
2. To avoid excessive exposure to sun & rain, cover the boat when not in use.
3. Clean the boat with mild soap water and a soft cloth if it is not going to be used for a long time. Dry it before putting it away.
4. Use the spanner to tighten the air valve if it is leaking.

Deflation and Storage

1. Remove the Oars from the oarlocks. Note: Keep all accessories for future use.
2. Carefully clean the boat using a mild soap with clean water. Note: Do not use acetone, acid, and/or alkaline solutions.
3. Use a cloth to gently dry all surfaces. Note: Do not dry the product in direct sunlight. Also, never dry with equipment such as electric blowers. Doing so will cause damage and shorten the boat’s life span.
4. To deflate, open the Air Valves pushing the control stem in and rotating until the valves stay open. Deflate all the hull chambers at the same time so the air-pressure drops together. This will prevent damage from occurring to the boat’s inner structures.
5. Next, deflate the Keel.
6. Disassemble the seat and floor.
7. Fold the boat from front to back to remove additional air. You can also use a pump to drain any remaining air.
8. Store the boat in a dry and shady place, and keep it out of reach of children.

FAQ

• Can I leave the boat in direct sunlight for an extended period?
  Extended exposure to sun can shorten the lifespan of your boat. We suggest not leaving boats in direct sunlight for more than 1 hour after use

• What is the purpose of the pressure gauge?
  The pressure gauge is for inflation purposes only and should not be used as a precision instrument. The value on the pressure gauge is just for reference and should not be relied upon as an exact measurement.

• Can I exceed the recommended working pressure?
  To avoid damage to the boat and injury to passengers, please do not exceed the recommended working pressure given on the builder’s plate.

ASSEMBLING INSTRUCTION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Follow all the Safety and Operating Instructions. If you don’t follow these instructions, it may cause the boat to overturn or explode and result in drowning.

1. Do not exceed the maximum recommended number of persons. Regardless of the number of persons on board, the total weight of persons and equipment must never exceed the maximum recommended load. Always use the seats /seating spaces provided.

2. When loading the craft, never exceed the maximum recommended load: Always load the craft carefully and distribute loads appropriately to maintain design trim (approximately level). Avoid placing heavy weights high up.
   NOTE: The maximum recommended load includes the weight of all persons onboard, all provisions and personal effects, any equipment not included in the light craft mass, cargo (if any) and all consumable liquids (water, fuel, etc.).

3. When using the boat, life saving devices such as life jackets and buoys should be pre-inspected and used at all times.

4. Before every use, carefully inspect all boat components including air-chambers, grab ropes, oars, and air valves, to ensure everything is in good condition and tightly secured. If you find any damage, please repair before commencing use.

5. Buckets, water scoops and air pumps should always be available in case of air leakage or if the boat takes on water.

6. When the boat is in motion, all passengers must remain seated at all times to avoid going overboard. Keep the boat balanced. Uneven distribution of persons or load in the boat may cause the boat to overturn and result in drowning.

7. Use the boat near the shore and beware of natural factors such as wind, tide waters and tidal waves. BE AWARE OF OFFSHORE WINDS AND CURRENTS.

8. If one chamber is punctured when the boat is in the water, it may be necessary to fully inflate the other air chamber to prevent the boat from sinking.

9. Be careful when landing on the shore. Sharp and rough objects such as rocks, cement, shells, glass, etc. may puncture the boat. To avoid damage, do not drag the boat on rough surfaces.

10. When choosing an outboard motor, refer to the technical specifications section of this manual to determine acceptable horsepower ratings.

11. For electrical motors equipped with batteries, note that battery acid can be caustic, which can cause damage to both skin and boat materials.

12. For motors which use fuels such as gas, oil or petrol, since fuel is a flammable substance, it should be kept away from open flames. Further, clean the boat material immediately if fuel spatters onto the boat surface. Be aware of the potential harmful effects of liquids such as battery acid, oil or petrol. The liquids may damage your boat.

13. Inflate according the numbered air chamber and rated pressure of the boat, or it will cause over-inflation and potential explosion. Exceeding the data given on the capacity plate may cause the craft to be damaged, overturn and lead to drowning.

14. If you use the tow rings to tow the boat, go slowly to avoid over-towing as damage may occur.

15. Know how to operate a boat. Check in your local area for information and/or training as needed. Inform yourself about local regulations and dangers related to boating and/or other water activities.
