• The boats are designed and manufacture in conformity with ABYC H-28 or ABYC H-29(only for Kayak).
• 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.

• 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
