OPERATING THE CRAFT

Valve caps protect the valves from accidental opening, provide a secondary seal and protect the
valves from contamination.
The valves require little maintenance. Keep them clean using a standard household cleaner.
Remember that changes in ambient temperature will change the inflation pressure within the tube.
A tube that is over-inflated in the morning can be damaged by a significant increase of temperature
in the afternoon.
IF THE PRESSURE WITHIN THE TUBE BECOMES EXCESSIVE, THE GLUED SEAMS MAY BE
DAMAGED.
If the ambient temperature rises significantly or you intend leaving the boat in direct sunlight, we
recommend you relieve the air pressure in each chamber. It is strongly recommended that the boat
be kept in the shade or under cover when not in use.
DO NOT USE SOURCES OF HIGH PRESSURE COMPRESSED AIR FOR INFLATING THE TUBE.
EXCESSIVE PRESSURE CAN DAMAGE THE GLUED SEAMS AND THE INTERNAL WALLS.
