ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
I. PONTOON INFLATION
NOTE: Use the Large Cone Adapter provided with your Pump. See figure 3b for a detail of the Valve Assembly.
Before inflation, be sure to fully seat each Valve Assembly into the Pontoon, screwing tightly by hand. When fully
seating Valve Assembly, be sure that the Valve Plate is in place around Valve Assembly and not restricting the Valve
Assembly from a full seal. After inflating, be sure to fully seat the Top Cap on to each Valve Assembly, screwing
tightly by hand. Both are required for an airtight seal.
1. Inflate each Pontoon. The Valve is located inside the Storage Pocket of each Pontoon (see figure 3).
Inflate until firm (do not over inflate).
2. Again, be sure top Valve Cap and Valve Assembly are fully seated to achieve airtight seal.
PONTOON DEFLATION: Unscrew entire Valve Assembly from Pontoon.

Warning:
Please read and follow carefully.
1. Always wear a US Coast Guard approved personal flotation device when in your ODC JETPACK™.
2. Never float alone.
3. Always check your ODC JETPACK™Air Bladders, Frame, Oar components, outer skin and stitching for possible damage
before you use your craft.
4. Never use your craft if you suspect the Air Bladders, Frame, Oar components, outer skin or stitching has been damaged.
5. Never over inflate your ODC JETPACK™.
6. Never use your ODC JETPACK™without the air chambers fully inflated.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
1. If your Pontoon Bladder is losing air, please check that Valve Assembly and Top Valve Cap are fully seated. Reseat Valve
Assembly and repeat Pontoon inflation instructions.
2. Do not store your ODC JETPACK™in direct sunlight.
3. If you are leaving your ODC JETPACK™out in the sun for any amount of time, be aware that the heat can increase the
pressure inside the Pontoons to a dangerous level. Let some of the air out of the Pontoons if the craft will be out of the water
in the sun for any length of time, or if it is stored in a vehicle, etc.
4. A gain in altitude will increase the pressure in the Pontoons also. If you are taking your inflated ODC JETPACK™from
a low elevation to a high elevation, be sure to let some of the air out of it.
5. For short term storage, we recommend you let some air out of your pontoons.
6. For long term storage, we recommend you make sure your ODC JETPACK™is completely dry, deflated and stored out of
the sunlight in a cool dry area. Do not store your wet ODC JETPACK™in freezing temperatures as this may result in
frame and other component damage.
7. Repairing Bladder, use enclosed Patch Kit. Identify puncture. Fully deflate Bladder. Clean and dry area around puncture.
Apply glue to puncture area and patch using applicator straw. Press patch over puncture area. Allow 24 hours to dry,
before inflating.
8. Note: Metal parts may rust and are not covered under warranty.
9. We recommend the use of electric trolling motors only on your ODC JETPACK™.
10. Do not use the cargo deck as a standing platform. It is not designed for this
and may break if used in this capacity.
Your ODC Outdoor Discovery Craft™is designed to give you many years of service.
Please follow inflation instructions and warnings carefully.
