INFLATING THE BOAT
- 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.
