Changes in air temperature will affect air pressure in tubes. Monitor air pressure in tubes and adjust to
maintain working pressure.
Changes in elevation or altitude will affect air pressure. In case of changes of elevation or altitude, adjust
air pressur e in tubes and/or floor to maintain working p ressure. To prevent over -inflation, dec rease air
pressure before transporting boat to higher elevation.
If this is the first time inflating tube, check
that valves are tight. Use tool provided in repair kit and
gently tighten valves.
INFLATING - To r etain air when inflating, release valves
to “out” position by pushing center button (a) and turning
approximately 90 degrees counter clockwise.
Secure valve wi th “cap” (b) when finished inflating.
DEFLATING - To release air from tubes remove “cap” (b)
and position valve in “in” position by pushing center button
(a) in and turning approximately 90 degrees clockwise.
Valve should remain in the “in” position.
Do not force valves. They may break.
The boat is equipped with a 12V electrical system, powered by the battery. An electrical switch panel on the
center console distributes the power to the given components. The direct current system supplies all circuits on
the boat, including navigation lights, pumps, ignition, etc.
The battery must be secured on the boat and terminals covered. Terminals must be kept clean and checked
regularly.
Be careful handling the battery because the electrolyte is acid. If your skin or other body parts are
exposed to the electrolyte, clean with fresh water and seek medical assistance.
Be careful when connecting or disconnecting the battery. Do not charge the battery in the boat.
Keep the battery terminals clean, tight and isolated to prevent arc discharges, short circuits,
explosion, or fi re.
Keep good ventilation in the battery compartment. Make sure that the battery is securely fastened.
