WARNINGIMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Follow all the Safety and Operating Instructions. If you don’t follow these instructions, it may cause the boat to overturn or explode and result in drowning.
- Do not exceed the maximum recommended number of persons. Regardless of the number of persons on board, the total weight of persons and equipment must never exceed the maximum recommended load. Always use the seats/seating spaces provided.
- 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.).
- When using the boat, life saving devices such as life jackets and buoys should be pre-inspected and used at all times.
- Before every use, carefully inspect all boat components including air-chambers, grab ropes, oars, and air valves, to ensure everything is in good condition and tightly secured. If you find any damage, please stopto repair it.
- Buckets, water scoops and air pumps should always be available in case of air leakage or if the boat takes on water.
- When the boat is in motion, all passengers must remain seated at all times to avoid falling overboard. Keep the boat balanced. Uneven distribution of persons or load in the boat may cause the boat to overturn and result in drowning.
- Use the boat near the shore and beware of natural factors such as wind, tide waters and tidal waves. BE AWARE OF OFFSHORE WINDS AND CURRENTS.
- 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.
- Be careful when landing on the shore. Sharp and rough objects such as rocks, cement, shells, glass, etc. may puncture the boat. To avoid damage, do not drag the boat on rough surfaces.
- When choosing an outboard motor, refer to the technical specifications section of this manual to determine acceptable horsepower ratings.
- For electrical motors equipped with batteries, note that battery acid can be caustic, which can cause damage to both skin and boat materials.
- For motors which use fuels such as gas, oil or petrol, since fuel is a flammable substance, it should be kept away from open flames. Further, clean the boat material immediately if fuel spatters onto the boat surface. Be aware of the potential harmful effects of liquids such as battery acid, oil or petrol. The liquids may damage your boat.
- Inflate according to the numbered air chamber and rated pressure of the boat, or it will cause over-inflation and potential and boat explosion. Exceeding the data given on the capacity plate may cause the craft to be damaged, overturn and lead to drowning.
- If you use the tow rings to tow the boat, go slowly to avoid over-towing as damage may occur.
- Know how to operate a boat. Check in your local area for information and/or training as needed. Inform yourself about local regulations and dangers related to boating and/or other water activities.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
ASSEMBLING OF THE BOAT
NEVER USE HIGH PRESSURE AIR TO INFLATE INFLATABLES. THIS CAN DAMAGE YOUR PRODUCT
- Inflate the air chambers with a HAND air pump. An inflation scale is provided with the product. Inflate the product until the printed scale is charged up to the same level as that of the supplied scale. (refer to the table and illustrations below)CAUTION: Under and over-inflation of the boat will result in safety hazards. It is better to check the pressure of the boat each time before use. If you use another pressure gauge, the boat pressure should not be more than the data given on the builder’s plate.
- Never stand on or rest objects on the boat during inflation.
- Inflate the bottom chamber and other accessories such as the seat until it is stiff to the touch, but NOT hard
OARS INSTALLATION
NOTE: When the oars are not in use, lock the oars into the Oar Clasps to avoid damage.NOTE: All drawings for illustration purpose only. May not reflect actual product.
STORAGE
- Remove the Oars from the oarlocks.NOTE: Keep all accessories for future use.
- Carefully clean the boat using a mild soap with clean water.NOTE: Do not use acetone, acid, and/or alkaline solutions.
- Use a cloth to gently dry all surfaces.NOTE: Do not dry the product in direct sunlight. Also, never dry with equipment such as electric blowers. Doing so will cause damage and shorten the boat’s life span.
- Deflate the hull chambers. Deflate all the hull chambers at the same time so the air-pressure drops simultaneously.This will prevent damage from occurring to the boat’s inner structures. Next, deflate the floor.
- Fold the boat from front to back to remove additional air. You can also use a pump to drain any remaining air.
REPAIR
- If there is a small puncture, repair it according to the instructions on the repair patch.
- If the hole is too big to be repaired with the provided patch, purchase a Bestway repair kit or send the boat to a speciality shop to make the repair.
