Important Safety Guideline
Please read & understand prior to using boat
To enhance the enjoyment of your boat and protect the safety of the
operator using the product, ALWAYS STRICTLY OBSERVE the
following important safety points. These should be read and
understood prior to use:
1. WARNING: Boat designed for voyages in sheltered water only.
Please only use the craft on small lakes, rivers and canals where
conditions up to a wind force of level 4 and wave height up to 0.5m.
2. WARNING: This is not a life saving device. Use only under
competent supervision. Never allow diving or jumping into this
product. Never leave in or near the water when not in use. Never tow
from any other craft. Adult assembly and operation required.
3. WARNING: Inflating the product’s chambers should be as the
numbered sequence and do not over inflate. Excessive inflation of the
product can cause the chambers to burst or cause damage to the
welded seams.
4. WARNING: It is highly recommended that a user should take a
boating safety course and get hands-on training from your boat dealer
or local boating authorities. Review all safety requirements regularly.
Never navigate alone.
5. WARNING: 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 Personal Flotation
Device.
6. WARNING: Use caution when stepping or climbing aboard the boat
Step into the center of the boat for maximum stability. Distribute the
weight of load and accessories evenly so that the boat sits level fore to
aft and side to side.
7. WARNING: Do not use your boat if you suspect a puncture or leak. It
may be unsafe.

8. WARNING: Beware of offshore winds and under-currents. These
could be unsafe conditions.
9. WARNING: 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
10. 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.
11. Do not allow unattended children in the boat. Always make sure that
at least one responsible adult is supervising all children and those who
do not know how to swim AT ALL TIMES.
12. Always maintain the proper boat safety equipment in an easily
accessible area in your boat. Clearly post emergency phone numbers
as well as safety advisories and rules (such as “No Jumping or
Diving”).
13. 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 that you 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.
14. 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.

Installation
1. Find a flat area and make sure that the surface you have selected to set
up the boat is completely free of stones, sticks, sharp objects or other
foreign debris.
2. 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. We will not be held
responsible for damage caused to the boat due to mishandling or failure
to follow these instructions.
3. Insert 4 wooden boards into the sleeves located on the boat floor, and
position the boards into the middle of the sleeves. See below A, B
diagrams:
(A) (B)
4. Wooden bench seat installation:
Insert the plastic (or wooden) rods into the seat retaining tubes (C). Side
the seat into position by inserting the retaining tubes into the grooves
located at each end of bench seat. Insert into both ends of the seat at the
same time (D) and (E). Position the seat to be in the middle of the
retaining tubes.

5. Inflate the boat’s chambers in numbered sequences (1) and (2) then (3).
It is very important to follow the numbered sequence: failure to do it
could result in an improperly inflated boat. You can use a hand or foot
operated air pump, or a low pressure electric pump to inflate the boat.
Do not use high-pressure air compressors. Inflate each air chamber in
number sequence until all chambers are full. Warning: Do not over
inflate in one time; it is harmful for the boat body. And over inflation of
the chambers can cause the boat to burst or cause damage to the boat
body’s seams.
Please see the below illustration for the detailed inflated and deflated
operation for Built-in Safety Valve.

10
a) Inflation: Unscrew the Valve Cap A, Assemble the Inflation
Adaptor with the Inflating Mouth B, Air pressure Meter and the air
pump (Please see the below detailed illustration!).
After the inflation adapter is assembled completely, you can inflate
the boat by number sequence. Do not over inflate. After inflating,
screw the Valve Cap Ain clockwise direction by hand. Caution: Do
not over inflate or use high-pressure pump. The maximum
pressure for air chamber number (1) and (2) should be 0.250bar
(3.63PSI). And the maximum pressure for air chamber number
(3) should be 0.25bar (3.63PSI).
b) Deflation: Remove the Valve Cap A, push down the Deflation
Button Cand turn the valve in clockwise direction by 90。until it is
locked, release the valve and the air will flow out. If you want to stop
deflation, push down the Deflation Button C and turn it in counter-
clockwise direction by 90。. The deflation will stop when the valve is
released.
6. Oars Assembly:
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.
