NEVER USE THE AIR PRESSURE MACHINE TO INFLATE
• 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 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 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.
Warning: Overpowering a boat can result in serious injury, death or boat damage. To
ascertain the maximum motor power which can be used, see the markings on the product.

Storage
1. Remove the Oars from the oarlocks.
Note: Keep all accessories for future use.
2. Carefully clean the boat using a mild soap with clean water.
Note: Do not use acetone, acid, and/or alkaline solutions.
3. 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.
4. Deflate the hull chambers. Deflate all the hull chambers at the same time so the
air-pressure drops together. This will prevent damage from occurring to the boat inner
structures. Next, deflate the floor.
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 the 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.
