5. Insert the plug into the drain valve beneath the transom.
IMPORTANT!
Make sure that the drain valve is always in the closed position as shown in picture
(5) while on the water. When you are motoring is the only time that the drain valve
can be in the opened position.
NOTES:
Always check the inflation pressure before using the boat. Air temperature
and weather conditions do affect the internal air pressure of inflatable products. In
cold weather the product will lose some pressure due to the fact that the air will
contract. If this occurs, you may want to add a little air to the product. However, in
hot weather, the air will expand. In this case, you must let some air out to protect
the product from overpressure.
• Only use Aqua Marina® approved inflation pumps.
• Under and over-inflation will result in safety hazards.
• Never stand on or rest objects on the boat during inflation.
• Never open the cap of air valve while the boat is in use.
• Be sure the valve is tightly closed before using the boat.
Before deflation, please keep in mind that you should not fully deflate one
chamber while other chambers remain fully inflated as this can cause damage to
the bulkheads of your boat.
1. Clear any water or debris out of the valve areas.
2. HIGH PRESSURE VALVE
Open the valve cap first. Slowly press down on the valve stem to start letting air
out of the boat. There will be an initial burst of air, but that will slow down very
quickly. Once the air flow has slowed down, press the valve stem all the way
down and turn it clockwise to lock it into the “
OPEN
” position.
3. Open all air valves including the tube chambers and the DWF air deck floor.
Release around 50-75% of the air from each chamber before fully deflating.
Excess air can be pushed out as you roll up the boat.
