OWNER’S MANUAL

WARNING

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Follow all the Safety and Operating Instructions. If you

don’t follow these instructions, it may cause the boat to

overturn or explode and result in drowning.

1. Do not exceed the maximum recommended number of persons. Regardless of the number of

persons on board, the total weight of persons and equipment must never exceed the

maximum recommended load. Always use the seats /seating spaces provided.

2. When loading the craft, never exceed the maximum recommended load: Always load the craft

carefully and distribute loads appropriately

to maintain design trim (approximately level). Avoid placing heavy weights high up.

NOTE: The maximum recommended load includes the weight of all persons onboard, all

provisions and personal effects, any equipment not included in the light craft mass, cargo (if

any) and all consumable liquids (water, fuel, etc.).

3. When using the boat, life saving devices such as life jackets and buoys should be

pre-inspected and used at all times.

4. 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.

5. Buckets, water scoops and air pumps should always be available in case of air leakage or if

the boat takes on water.

6. When the boat is in motion, all passengers must remain seated at all times to avoid going

overboard. Keep the boat balanced. Uneven distribution of persons or load in the boat may

cause the boat to overturn and result in drowning.

7. Use the boat near the shore and beware of natural factors such as wind, tide waters and tidal

waves. BE AWARE OF OFFSHORE WINDS AND CURRENTS.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. When choosing an outboard motor, refer to the technical specifications section of this manual

to determine acceptable horsepower ratings.

11. For electrical motors equipped with batteries, note that battery acid can be caustic, which can

cause damage to both skin and boat materials.

12. 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 potential harmful efects of liquids such as

battery acid, oil or petrol. The liquids may damage your boat.

13. Inflate according 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.

14. If you use the tow rings to tow the boat, go slowly to avoid over-towing as damage may occur.

15. 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.

REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS:

• Fully clean the area to be repaired.

• Cut the correct size from the repair patch

material.

Apply only the amount of glue needed to cover

the repair site.

• Press the repair patch firmly to repair site for

30 seconds.

• Wait for 1 hour before inflation.

Storage

1. Remove the Oars from the oarlocks.

Note: Keep all accessories for future use.

2. Carefully clean the boat using a mild soap with clean water.

Note: Do not use acetone, acid, and/or alkaline solutions.

3. Use a cloth to gently dry all surfaces.

Note: Do not dry the product in direct sunlight. Also, never dry with equipment such as electric

blowers. Doing so will cause damage and shorten the boat’s life span.

4. To deflate, open the Air Valves pushing the control stem in and rotating until the valves stay

open. Deflate all the hull chambers at the same time so the air-pressure drops together. This

will prevent damage form occurring to the boat’s inner structures.

5. Next deflate the Keel.

6. Disassemble the seat and floor.

7. Fold the boat from front to back to remove additional air. You can also use a pump to drain any

remaining air.

The glue is not included in the repair kit due to

shipping constraints. You can find

silicone-based glue at most retail outlets.

Carefully read the warning labels and closely

follow instructions on the back of glue before

attempting the following repair steps.

Maintenance

1. Inflate according to the PSI marked besides the valve;

2. To avoid the long-time exposure to sunshine or rain, put the outside cover on top for protection

when it not being used;

3. Clean it with mild soap water and soft cloth in case it is not going to be used for a long time.

Dry it before putting them away. Store it at a dry and shady place and keep it out of reach of

Children.

4. Use the spanner to tighten the air valve if it is leaking .

NOTE: Pressure gauge is for inflation purpose only, and the value of the pressure gauge is just

for reference, should not be used as a precision instrument.

- Only use Bestway® approved inflation pumps.

- Never use motor-driven high-pressure air pumps as this may result in over-inflation.

- Under and over-inflation will result in safety hazards.

- Always check the inflation pressure before using the boat.

- Never stand on or rest objects on the boat during inflation.

- Never open the cap of air valve while the boat is in use.

- Be sure the valve is tightly closed before using the boat.

Note: When the oars are not in use, lock the oars into the Oar Clasps to avoid damage.

Outboard Motor Installation

With the boat fully inflated and in the water, attach your outboard motor onto Engine Mount at the

center of the Transom.

Note:

- Ensure the motor is always fixed on the Transom.

- Read the instruction of outboard motor for correct installation and operation.
