IMPORTANT WARNING
INFLATING THE BOAT
To enhance the enjoyment of your boat and protect the safety of passengers and
operator using the boat, always strictly observe the following safety warning:
-This is not a life saving device. Use only under competent supervision. Never
allow diving into this product. Never leave in or near the water when not in use.
Never tow from any vehicle. Adult assembly and operation required.
-Adults should inflate the chambers in numbered sequence and use the printed
ruler on the hull of boat to check while inflating. Excessive inflating the boat can
cause the chambers to burst or cause damage to the welded seams.
Not following the operator’s instructions, which may detail important inflation and
assembly sequences,can cause capsizing and drowning
-Taking the boating safety course and get hands-on training from your boat dealer
or local boating authorities. Review all safety requirements regularly. Never
navigate alone.
-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.
-WARNING: BEWARE OF OFFSHORE WINDS AND CURRENTS. These could
be unsafe conditions.
-Follow these rules to avoid drowning, paralysis or other serious injuries.
-WARNING: It is the responsibility of the boat operator to identify and obey all
local and state laws pertaining to boat safety and required safety equipment.
Please consult your local authorities to ensure compliance.
-Do not allow unattended children in the boat. Always make sure that at least one
responsible adult is supervising all children and those who don’t know how to
swim at all times.
-Always maintain the proper boat safety equipment in an easily accessible
place in your boat. Indicate clearly emergency phone numbers as well as safety
advisories and rules (such as “No jumping or Diving”)
-The total number of persons and total weight shall not exceed the information
printed on the boat. Do not exceed the maximum recommended capacities.
Exceeding the data given on the capacity plate can cause capsizing and
drowning.
-Boat is designed to be storable, seasonal boat. If you live in a temperate
area in which the boat will not be in use all year-round, it is STRONGLY
RECOMMENDED that you deflate the boat and dry it thoroughly, and store it in
a protected area for the off-season. This will help extend your boat and prevent a
safety hazard from developing while the boat is not in use.
-WARNING: Certain household cleaning solvents, chemicals and other liquids
(such as battery acid, oil and gasoline) could damage the PVC fabric. In the
event of spill or mishandling, you should check for leaks and inspect for structural
integrity.
- 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. Do not use high-p
essure air compressors. 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 printed ruler on the boat to check the main 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.
