the total weight of persons and equipment must never exceed the maximum recommended load. Always use the
seats / seating spaces provided.
2. When loading the craft, never exceed the maximum recommended load: Always load the craft carefully and
distribute loads appropriately to maintain design trim (approximately level). Avoid placing heavy weights high up.
NOTE:
The maximum recommended load includes the weight of all persons onboard, all provisions and personal
effects, any equipment not included in the light craft mass, cargo (if any) and all consumable liquids (water, fuel,
etc.).
3. When using the boat, life saving devices such as life jackets and buoys should be pre-inspected and used at all
times.

ensure everything is in good condition and tightly secured. Please stop to repair if you find any damage.
5. Buckets, water scoops and air pumps should always be available in case of air leakage or if the boat takes on
water.
6. Passenger numbers and load weights shall by no means exceed specified capacities. Refer to the Technical
Specifications section of this manual to determine passenger numbers and load weights for your boat. Overweight
will cause overturn and drowning.
7. Inflate according the numbered air chamber and rated pressure on the boat, or it will cause overinflation and boat
explosion. Exceeding the data given on the capacity plate may cause the craft to damage, overturn and lead to
drowning.
8. Keep the boat balanced. Uneven distribution of persons or load in the boat may cause overturn the boat and
drowning.
9. When the boat is in motion, all passengers must remain seated at all times to avoid going overboard.

11. Be careful when landing on the shore. Sharp and rough objects such as rocks, cement, shells, glass, etc. may
puncture the boat.
12. If one chamber is punctured when the boat is in the water, it may be necessary to fully inflate the other air chamber
to prevent the boat from sinking.
13. To avoid damage do not drag the boat on rough surfaces.
14. Don’t leave the boat exposed to sun for long periods of time, as high temperatures shall give rise to air expansion,
which can cause irreparable damage.
