IMPORTANT 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.
1. 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.
2. 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.).
3. When using the boat, life saving devices such as life jackets and buoys should be
pre-inspected and used at all times.
4. 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.
5. Buckets, water scoops and air pumps should always be available in case of air
leakage or if the boat takes on water.

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

repair kit or send the boat to a speciality shop to make the repair.
Registration
If you need to register your boat, please have the boat Hull Identification Number and
model name ready and then visit bestwaycorp.com/support to obtain your Certificate
of Origin, or you can send e-mail to [email protected] for the Certificate of

PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL IN A SECURE PLACE, AND HAND IT OVER TO
THE NEW OWNER WHEN YOU SELL THE CRAFT.
NOTE: All drawings for illustration purpose only. May not reflect actual product.
Storage
1. 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 and seat.
• 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.
