(See the parts list on page 10).
2
. Identify the right and left pontoons.
You can identify the right and left pontoons by the “R” (right) and “L” (left) labels sewn on the inside
of the rear pocket on top of each.
3. Inflate the air bladders.
The valve is located on the top of the pontoons in front
of the main pocket (A).
The valve has a center button that opens and closes the
valve by simply pushing down. The valve is open when
the center button is down, and closed when it is up (B).
BEFORE INFLATING, MAKE SURE THE VALVE IS IN THE
CLOSED POSITION BY PUSHING THE CENTER BUTTON
DOWN AND TURNING COUNTER-CLOCKWISE 1/4 TURN.
Unscrew the valve cap, make sure the valve is closed
and insert the inflation adapter into the valve and
twist to secure (C). Inflate using a foot pump or air
compressor with a cone-type nozzle fitting (D).
After inflating, tighten valve using inflation valve
wrench, making sure valve is snug (E).
DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN.
Inflate to approximately 2.5 psi (0.17 BAR).
Inflate until firm but not hard. DO NOT over inflate.

. Attach the pontoons to the frames.
Each pontoon attaches to a metal pontoon frame with
four webbing attachment straps.
Locate the left and right pontoon frames.
On the front of each pontoon frame (where the front of the
boat will be) there is a “L" (left) or “R” (right) label indicating
left or right.
Place the right pontoon frame on top of the right pontoon
as shown. There is a “L” (left) or “R” (right) label inside the
pocket of each pontoon. The longest straight tube of each
frame should be on the same side of the pontoon as the
pontoon zipper.
