• To avoid damage to the boat and injury to passengers, please don’t exceed the data given on the builder’s plate.
• 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 stop to 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.
• 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.
• If you accidentally fall overboard, grab the safety rope around the boat and climb aboard.
• 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.
• 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.
• The operator of a vessel is responsible for the maintenance and safe conduct of the vessel and the safety of passengers.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
INFLATE & ASSEMBLE
NEVER USE HIGH PRESSURE AIR TO INFLATE INFLATABLES. THIS CAN DAMAGE YOUR PRODUCT.
• Inflate only as far that after inflating one can see some folding at the welding seams. After inflation compare the height of the printed scale on the product with the following table to make sure
reach the height of each chamber is reached. DO NOT OVER INFLATE.
• Take care that the boat has gotten to the correct pressure. Pay attention to both pressure scales on the type-plate and check the pressure from time to time, because in the sun the pressure can
grow and it must be balanced then to the correct one.
• Extended exposure to sun can shorten the lifespan of your boat. We suggest to not leave boats in direct sunlight for more than 1 hour after use.
