the total weight of persons and equipment must never exceed the maximum recommended load. Always use the

seats / seating spaces provided.

water.

Specifications section of this manual to determine passenger numbers and load weights for your boat. Overweight

will cause overturn and drowning.

Technical Specifications

OWNER’S MANUAL

• 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 the

belowing Table and Illustration)

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 using. If you use other 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 bottom chamber and other accessories such as seat until it is stiff to the touch but NOT hard.

• Extended exposure to sun can shorten the lifespan of your boat. We suggest not leaving boats in direct sunlight for

more than 1 hour after use.

5. Fold the boat from front to back to remove additional air. You can also use a pump to drain

any remaining air.

Repair

1. If there is a small puncture, repair it according to the instruction on repair patch.

2. 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.
