Refueling
Refrain from smoking especially while refueling your boat. Portable fuel tanks
should be placed on a cushioning base and should be strongly secured to
avoid the bumps and risks of breaking during navigation.
•
When refueling, always stick to the following recommendations.
•
If possible, remove portable tanks from the craft to refuel.
•
Refuel the tanks in the open air, far from heat sources, sparks, or flames.
•
Do not fill the tanks to the brim. The fuel increases volume with a rise in
temperature and there is a possibility of the tank overflowing or even
breaking.
HIGH ALTITUDE USE
Normal full inflation pressure is 330 mbar. If the boat is inflated at sea level (low
altitude) and transported to a high altitude (for example, for use in a mountain
lake) the air pressure must be reduced at the higher altitude to prevent an
overinflation.
Cleaning Procedure
NOTE: Gasoline spillage must be cleaned immediately to prevent damage to
fabric. Remove the floorboards to clean the gasoline spillage from the floor
fabric.
1. Deflate the boat and remove the floorboards.
2. Reinflate the air chambers.
3. Open the drain valve. Use a hose to wash out any debris from the interior,
especially around the area where the floor meets the air chambers. Clean
any debris from the drain valve.
4. Clean both the exterior and interior with a mild soap and fresh water
solution.
5. Rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a vinyl preservative on the air chamber fabric.
Chemicals in the preservatives may dry out the fabric.
