IMPORTANT WARNING
To enhance the enjoyment of your canoe and protect the safety of passengers and operator
using the canoe, 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 the boat to check while inflating. Excessive inflating the canoe 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 canoeing safety course and get hands-on training from your canoe dealer or local
canoeing 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.
Be careful when stepping or climbing aboard the canoe. Step into the center of the canoe
for maximum stability. Distribute the weight of passengers, gear, tackle box and accessories
evenly so that the canoe sits even front to back and side and to side. Uneven distribution of
persons or loads in the canoe can cause capsizing and drowning.
Do not use your canoe if you suspect a puncture or leak. It might be unsafe.
Follow these rules to avoid drowning, paralysis or other serious injuries.
WARNING : BEWARE OF OFFSHORE WINDS AND CURRENTS. These could be unsafe
conditions.
WARNING: It is the responsibility of the canoe operator to identify and obey all local and
state laws pertaining to canoe safety and required safety equipment. Please consult your
local authorities to ensure compliance.
Do not allow unattended children in the canoe. 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 canoe safety equipment in an easily accessible place in your
canoe. 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
canoe. Do not exceed the maximum recommended capacities. Exceeding the data given on
the capacity plate can cause capsizing and drowning.
Canoe 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 canoe and prevent a safety hazard from developing while the canoe is not in
use.
Inflating:
Inflate the screw valve:
1) Fix the big ring of valve
cap on the base
2) Screw the middle part
of valve cap on the base
and then inflating
3) Screw the small cap of
valve tightened
Caution:
Do not over inflate, or use a high-pressure pump!
The maximum pressure for air chambers should be
Use printed mark beside the valve of the product to check the main
chamber for proper inflation. When the actual size of printed mark is 10cm
approximately using plastic ruler, the pressure is rated pressure.
INFLATING THE CANOE
0.05bar (0.725PSI).
Select a clean area free of stones, gravel, sticks or other sharp objects.
Carefully unfold the canoe, 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 canoe 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 CANOE, AS IT MAY TEAR THE CANOE OR CAUSE
OTHER DAMAGE. We will not be held responsible for damage caused to the canoe due
to mishandling or failure to follow these instructions
Use a hand or foot operated air pump to inflate the canoe. You can inflate the canoe
by number sequence. Please screw the valve cap in clockwise direction by hand after
inflation. It’s very important to follow the numbered sequence: failure to do so will result in
an improperly inflated canoe. Fill each chamber until it is stiff.
If the canoe 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 canoe is not fitted with a
safety valve, so the pressure must be monitored at all times.
