INFLATION
PROPER INFLATION
During final inflation, inflate until most of the wrinkles in the fabric are gone and
it feels firm to the touch, but DO NOT exceed 2.5 psi (0.17 bar) in the main air
chambers.
CAUTION - DO NOT OVER INFLATE YOUR PONTOON BOAT
Water temperature and weather affect the air pressure in the boat. In cold
weather your pontoon boat will lose some pressure because the air will
contract. If this occurs, you may want to add more air.
In hot weather, the air will expand. You must let out some air to prevent the
pontoons from failing from over pressure. Avoid exposing your pontoon boat to
extreme temperatures (hot or cold).
CAUTION
On warm sunny days, keep the pontoon boat either in water or in shade (if kept
inflated on land). This will decrease the risk of overexpansion of the pontoon
chambers posed by rising temperatures, which can result in seam tears,
delamination and pinholes.
Avoid asphalt, sand, pebbles or concrete in direct sunlight as they radiate high
ground heat.
Also understand that changes in altitude will cause the air in the bladders
to expand or contract. If traveling to higher elevation with the pontoon boat
inflated, frequently check the pressure in the pontoons to avoid over pressure.
If traveling to lower elevation you may have to add more air to maintain proper
pressure in the pontoons.
WARNING - ALWAYS CHECK THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE PONTOONS BEFORE
AND DURING EACH USE.

ELECTRIC MOTOR AND BATTERY USE
USING A MOTOR WITH YOUR PONTOON BOAT
Clamp your motor to the motor mount provided on the rear of your boat and
carefully follow the setup and safety instructions provided with your motor.
Using a motor and battery will affect the weight distribution on your boat.
Before using your boat for the first time with a motor check and adjust your seat
position and cargo so your boat rides level in the water.
WARNING - THIS PONTOON BOAT IS NOT RATED FOR USE WITH GASOLINE
OR DIESEL OUTBOARD MOTORS.
WARNING - MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND
PROCEDURES THAT CAME WITH YOUR ELECTRIC MOTOR.
IMPORTANT - A MAXIMUM ELECTRIC MOTOR SHAFT LENGTH OF 36 INCH (91 cm)
WITH A MAXIMUM THRUST OF 30 LBS (14 kg) IS RECOMMENDED.
USING A BATTERY WITH YOUR PONTOON BOAT
Be sure to secure your battery to the rear wire platform so that it will not move
or tip during operation. For the best weight distribution we recommend placing
the battery as close to the seat back (center of the boat) as possible.
WARNING - BATTERIES CAN LEAK POISONOUS GASES OR LIQUIDS OR
EXPLODE. USE EXTREME CARE AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND
PROCEDURES THAT CAME WITH YOUR BATTERY.
WARNING - MAKE SURE THAT YOUR ENGINE AND BATTERY ARE SECURELY
FASTENED TO YOUR PONTOON BOAT BEFORE AND DURING EACH USE.
