IMPORTANT WARNING:
To enhance the enjoyment of your boat and protect the safety of
passengers and operator using the boat, always strictly observe the
following safety warning:
-This is not a life saving device. Use only under competent
supervision. Never allow diving into this product. Never leave in or
near the water when not in use. Never tow from any vehicle. Adult
assembly and operation required.
-Adults should inflate the chambers in numbered sequence and use
the printed ruler on the hull of boat to check while inflating.
Excessive inflating the boat can cause the chambers to burst or
cause damage to the welded seams.
-Taking the boating safety course and get hands-on training from
your boat dealer or local boating authorities. Review all safety
requirements regularly. Never navigate alone.
-A Personal Flotation Device (PFD) is required for each passenger.
It is especially important that children and non-swimmers wear a
personal flotation device at all times. Children and non-swimmers
need special instruction in the use of PFD.
-Use caution when stepping or climbing aboard the boat. Step into
the center of the boat for maximum stability. Distribute the weight
of passenger, gear, tackle box and accessories evenly so that the
boat sits even front to back and side to side.
-Do not use your boat if you suspect a puncture or leak. It might be
unsafe.
-Beware of offshore winds and under-currents. These could be
unsafe conditions.
-Follow these rules to avoid drowning, paralysis or other serious
injuries.
-WARNING: It is the responsibility of the boat operator to identify
and obey all local and state laws pertaining to boat safety and
required safety equipment. Please consult your local authorities to
ensure compliance.
-Do not allow unattended children in the boat. Always make sure
that at least one responsible adult is supervising all children and
those who don’t know how to swim at all times.
-Always maintain the proper boat safety equipment in an easily
accessible place in your boat. Indicate clearly emergency phone

numbers as well as safety advisories and rules (such as “No
jumping or Diving”)
-The total number of persons and total weight shall not exceed the
information printed on the boat. Do not exceed the maximum
recommended capacities. Overloading violates regulations.
INFLATING AND DEFLATING THE BOAT:
Inflating
If the boat is inflated during cold weather or without direct sunlight on
the tubes, care must be taken not to over-inflate the tubes. As the air
inside the tubes heats up due to temperature rises or sunshine, the
pressure will increase. The boat is not fitted with a safety valve, so the
pressure must be monitored at all times.
-Select a clean area free of stones, gravel, sticks or other sharp
objects.
-Carefully unfold the boat, spreading out the tubes and floor to
make them as smooth as possible. NOTE: For ease of install, it is
preferable to set up the boat on a warm and sunny day. If time
permits, expose the unrolled boat to direct sunlight for 1 hour or
more, so that the boat material will be more flexible during
installation.
CAUTION: DO NOT DRAG THE BOAT, AS IT MAY TEAR THE
BOAT OR CAUSE OTHER DAMAGE.
-Install the Z-ray III apart inflatable floor to the boat bottom first.
-Installation of seat bench
Insert the rods into the seat retaining tubes. Slide the seat into
position by inserting the retaining tubes into the grooves, located at
each end of seat bench. Insert into both ends of the seat at the
same time. Position the seat to be in the middle of the retaining
tubes.

4 + 5 Æ0.35 bar (5.08 PSI)
After inflating screw the valve cap A in clockwise direction by hand.
Deflating:
Remove the valve cap A, push down the deflation button C and turn
the valve by 90° until its is locked. Release the valve and the air will
flow out. If you want to stop the deflation, push down the deflation
button C and turn it by 90°. The deflation will stop when the valve is
released.
Assembly of the oar
Assemble the section of the oar by depressing the spring loaded pin
and inserting the sections of oar until the pins lock into their retaining
holes.

2. Check all safety valves.
3. Check the load is evenly distributed on deck of boat: front to back
and side to side.

6. Do not take alcohol or take drugs before or while operating your
boat. All passengers should maintain sobriety in all voyage.
7. Keep fire away. Do not smoke on board.
8. Make sure your passengers remain sit. Only if the boat is at rest or
at low speeds, passengers can sit on the tubes and grab the line
around the boat. At planning speeds, in rough water or during sharp
turns, all passengers should position themselves in seats or on the
floor.
9. No bow riding. Bow riding is illegal in most areas and is extremely
dangerous.
10. Be very careful when landen. Arms and legs can be hurt when
hanging off the boat.
11. Always avoid areas where divers/swimmers are in the water. Keep
a sharp lookout especially when operating near beaches and launch
sites. The Alpha flag indicates proximity of divers. You MUST stay at a
good distance (minimum 50 meters).
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Depending on the parts usage, keep some spare available, all parts
suggest must consult local agent for factory authorized parts when
servicing system.
Clean your boat after a trip to prevent damage from sand, salt water or
sun exposure.
Use a garden hose washing the boat and a sponge and mild soap can
clean most dirt.

13
Make sure the boat is completely clean and dry before storing,
otherwise the boat will be mouldy.
Do not use solvents to clean the boat, solvents may damage material
or plastic components in system.
Store all boat accessories in a dry storage location with ventilation.
Make sure that all parts are dry before storage.
You can store the boat inflated or deflated.
ÆChoose a dry and cool place to store the boat.
ÆDon’t hang the boat up.
ÆDon’t place any heavy or sharp objects on it.
The boat is designed to be storable, seasonal boat. If you live in a
temperate area in which the boat will not be in use all year-round, it is
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to deflate the boat and dry it
thoroughly, and store it in a protected area for the off-season. This will
help extend your boat and prevent a safety hazard from developing
while the boat is not in use.
Warning:
Certain household cleaning solvents, chemicals and other liquids
(such as battery acid, oil and gasoline) could damage the PVC fabric.
In the event of spill or mishandling, you should check for leaks and
inspect for structural integrity.
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove all the accessories from the boat: fishing rod, oars.
2. Open all valves and deflate the boat completely.
3. Fold the boat (make sure that the boat is clean and dry. See the
above Maintenance & Storage chapter).
4. Put boat and air pump, oars into carry bag for storage.

14
TROUBLE SHOOTING
When you find the boat appears a bit soft, it might not definitely be
because of a leak. Firstly you can check if valve caps are loose. If all
valves are in good condition, you can consider if it is caused by
temperature variation: If the boat was inflated in the day at higher
temperature, say, 35 C (95 F), and air might cool down to 25 C (77 F)
overnight, so that the pressure on the hull may lower down, and the
boat will appear soft the next morning.
If valves and temperature variation are not the reasons, you need to
start looking for a leak:
1. Position the leak area: You can check your boat from a few feet
away or flip it over and closely check over the outside. Any
large leaks should be clearly visible.
2. Pinpoint the location of the leak: spry mild soapy water over the
suspicious areas. Any leak will produce bubbles.
3. Check valves system for leak.
REPAIRS
Little holes or puncture can be repaired with the repair kit come along
with the boat.
1. Find the leak.
2. Thoroughly clean the area surrounding the leak to remove any dirt
or grime.
3. Cut a piece of repair material in round shape, which should be
larger than the damaged area.
4. Using a piece of the repair kit, trace outline of the patch lightly.
5. Apply adhesive to the underneath side of the patch and around the
area to be repaired. Coat the affected are lightly but completely
with glue.
6. Put the patch on the damaged area and press down firmly.
7. Allow 12 hours for repair to dry. After patch has dried, apply glue
around the edges for a complete seal (dry 4 hours)
