- Adults should inflate the chambers in numbered sequence and use the pressure
gauge to check while inflating. Excessive inflating the boat can cause the chambers
to burst or cause damage to the welded seams.

- A Personal Flotation Device (PFD) is required for each passenger. It is especially
important that children and non-swimmers wear a personal flotation device at all
times. Children and non-swimmers need special instruction in the use of PFD.
- Use caution when stepping or climbing aboard the boat. Step into the center of the
boat for maximum stability. Distribute the weight of passenger, gear, tackle box and
accessories evenly so that the boat sits even front to back and side to side.Uneven
distribution of persons or loads in the boat can cause capsizing and drowning.
- Do not use your boat if you suspect a puncture or leak. It might be unsafe.

INFLATING THE BOAT

Inflating:
- Select a clean area free of stones, gravel, sticks or other sharp objects.
- Carefully unfold the boat, spreading out the tubes and floor to make them as
smooth as possible. NOTE: For ease of install, it is preferable to set up the boat
on a warm and sunny day. If time permits, expose the unrolled boat to direct
sunlight for 1 hour or more, so that the boat material will be more flexible during
installation.
CAUTION: DO NOT DRAG THE BOAT, AS IT MAY TEAR THE BOAT OR CAUSE
OTHER DAMAGE. We will not be held responsible for damage caused to the
boat due to mishandling or failure to follow these instructions.
- Use a hand or foot operated air pump to inflate the boat. You can inflate the
boat by number sequence. For two hull chambers, please screw the valve cap
in clockwise direction by hand after inflation. It's very important to follow the
numbered sequence: failure to do so will result in an improperly inflated boat. Fill
each chamber until it is stiff. Use Pressure gauge to check each chamber for
proper inflation.
- If the boat is inflated during cold weather or without direct sunlight on the tubes,
care must be taken not to over-inflate the tubes. As the air inside the tubes heats
up due to temperature rises or sunshine, the pressure will increase. The boat is
not fitted with a safety valve, so the pressure must be monitored at all times.
