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 stop to repair it.
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 falling 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 craft in sheltered water, up to 300m (984 feet). Be careful with natural factors such as wind, tide waters and
tidal waves. BE AWARE OF OFFSHORE WINDS AND CURRENTS. Always wear a lifejacket!
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. The boat is intended for beach use, short-time and short-distance cruising.
11. Be aware of the potential harmful effects of liquids such as battery acid, oil or petrol. The liquids may damage your boat.
12. Inflate according to the numbered air chamber and rated pressure of the boat, or it will cause over-inflation potential
and boat explosion. Exceeding the data given on the capacity plate may cause the craft to be damaged, overturn
and lead to drowning.
13. If you use the tow rings to tow the boat, go slowly to avoid over-towing as damage may occur.
14. 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.

Safety rope
• Inflate the air chambers with a HAND air pump.
Caution: Under and over-inflation of the boat will result in safety hazards. It is better to check the pressure of the boat
each time before using.
NOTE: Pressure gauge is for inflation purpose only, and the value of the pressure gauge is just for reference, should not
be used as a precision instrument.
• Never stand on or rest objects on the boat during inflation.
• Inflate bottom chamber and other accessories such as seat until it is stiff to the touch but NOT hard.

Oars Installation
2 adults
Safety rope installation
Insert the rope into the holes of the D-buckles orderly, and then tighten the ends of the rope to the D-buckles.
Caution: 1. Safety ropes shall be fitted to both sides of the bow and stern areas only and shall not impede the normal
operation of the craft.
2. Do check carefully if the saving rope is tightened well.
Seats and Storage bag assembly
After the craft is inflated, connect the belts of the seat's to the side buckles on the craft, make the storage bag is vertical.
The location of the seats can be adjustable along with center of the craft floor. When assembling the seats, make sure
the front passenger's feet are against the footrest, the back passenger's feet against the front passenger's seat. Make
sure the footrest does not entangle the feet of the occupants in the event of a capsize.
Connect the storage bag to the D-buckle.
Repair
1. If there is a leak, take out the liner, spray water onto the chamber surface and look for air bubbles. Soapy water works
well.
2. If there is a small puncture, repair it according to the instruction on repair patch.
3. If the hole is too big to be repaired with the provided patch, purchase a Bestway repair kit or send the boat to a
speciality shop to make the repair.
Storage
1. Remove the Oars from the Velcro oar band; take down the storage bag and seats.
Note: Keep all accessories for future use.
2. Carefully clean the craft 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. Do not dry the product in direct sunlight.
Note: Also, never dry with equipment such as electric blowers. Doing so will cause damage and shorten the craft's
life span.
4. Deflate the hull chambers. Deflate all the hull chambers at the same time so the air-pressure drops together. This will
prevent damage from occurring to the boat inner structures. Next deflate the floor.
5. Fold the craft from front to back to remove additional air. You can also use a pump to drain any remaining air.
6. Store in a cool, dry place and out of children's reach.
