Warning
NOTE:
If over-inflation occurs, press the control stem to reduce air pressure to
acceptable levels and securely fasten the pressure valve.
NOTE: First inflate both side chambers 80%, then fully inflate.
NOTE: The floorboards must be assembled before inflating the hull.
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 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. If you accidentally fall overboard, grab the safety rope around the boat and climb
aboard.
11. When choosing an outboard motor, refer to the technical specifications section of
this manual to determine acceptable horsepower ratings.
12. For electrical motors equipped with batteries, note that battery acid can be
caustic, which can cause damage to both skin and boat materials.
13. 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.
14. Inflate according the numbered air chamber and rated pressure of the boat, or it
will cause over-inflation and potential and boat explosion. Exceeding the data
given on the capacity plate may cause the craft to be damaged, overturn and
lead to drowning.
15. If you use the tow rings to tow the boat, go slowly to avoid over-towing as
damage may occur.
16. 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.
17. The operator of a vessel is responsible for the maintenance and safe conduct of
the vessel and the safety of passengers.
18. Prohibit the product misue, such as, but not limited to: (a) riding seat back,
gunwale, or other unsafe position, (b) failure to use hanhold, (c) overloading or
improper loading, (d) excessive speed for the operating conditions, (e) using a
boat in weather or sea conditions beyond the skill or experience of the operator,
(f) continued operation with operator’s visibility blocked or impaired (g) operating
under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and/or (h) modifications.
19. Boat operation where the boat operator or occupants are not under the influence
of drugs and/or alcohol.
20. Knowledge of federal, state, and/or local regulations concerning operation
requirement, including: (a) discharge of oil, (b) solid waste disposal (Marpol
Treaty), (c) marine sanitation, (d) speed, (e) noise, and (f) wake
21. Knowledge of accident reporting requirements.
22. The owner of operator of a vessel is required by law to render assistance to any
individual or vessel in distress, as long as his vessel is not endangered in the
process.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Deflation
Outboard Motor Installation
With the boat fully inflated and in the water, attach your outboard motor onto Engine
Mount at the center
of the Transom.
Note:
- Ensure the motor is always fixed on the Transom.
- Read the instruction of outboard motor for correct installation and operation.
- Overpowering a boat can result in serious injury, death or boat damage. The
maximum motor power to be used see marking on the product.
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 form 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.
REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS:
• The glue is not included in the repair kit due to shipping constraints. You can find
silicone-based glue at most retail outlets. Carefully read the warning labels and
closely follow instructions on the back of glue before attempting the following repair
steps.
• Fully clean the area to be repaired.
• Cut the correct size from the repair patch material.
Apply only the amount of glue needed to cover the repair site.
• Press the repair patch firmly to repair site for 30 seconds.
• Wait for 1 hour before inflation.
Registration (For US/Canada customers only)
If you need to register your boat, please have the boat Hull Identification Number
and model name ready and then visit bestwaycorp.com/support to obtain your
Certificate of Origin, or you can send e-mail to [email protected] for the
Certificate of Origin. The HIN is located on the starboard outboard side of the hull
and near the stern.
PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL IN A SECURE PLACE, AND HAND IT OVER TO
THE NEW OWNER WHEN
YOU SELL THE CRAFT.
Maintenance:
1. Inflate according to the PSI marked besides the valve;
2. To avoid the long-time exposure to sunshine or rain, put the outside cover on top
for protection when it not being used;
3. Clean it with mild soap water and soft cloth in case it is not going to be used for a
long time. Dry it before putting them away. Store it at a dry and shady place and
keep it out of reach of Children.
4.Use the spanner to tighten the air valve if it is leaking.
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.
Note:
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.
Notes:
- Only use Bestway
®
approved inflation pumps.
- Never use motor-driven high-pressure air pumps as this may result in over-inflation.
- Under and over-inflation will result in safety hazards.
- Always check the inflation pressure before using the boat.
- Never stand on or rest objects on the boat during inflation.
- Never open the cap of air valve while the boat is in use.
- Be sure the valve is tightly closed before using the boat.
Note:
When the oars are not in use, lock the oars into the Oar Clasps to avoid
damage.
