10.4 IN CASE OF ACCIDENT

In case of accident do not panic, reassure passengers. Be aware that the boat, even damaged, is often the best shelter
and facilitates your rescue.
An inflatable boat is practically unsinkable, even full of water. If, after an accident, a compartment deflates, bring it inside
the boat, restore the load balance to the opposite side of the deflated compartment and return at reduced speed.
In case of a collision or an impact with a floating object, stop to examine the hull, the buoyancy tubes, the motor and its
attachments and return to shore at a low speed.
Take your boat to your Dealer for inspection before using it again.

CAUTION!

NEGLECTING INSPECTIONS AND REPAIRS may lead to a serious injury and will reduce the life of your boat

11. ENVIRONMENT

RESPONSIBLE BOATING BEGINS WITH YOU

With your inflatable boat you can discover the richness of the marine environment. Help keep it beautiful. Enjoying some
time on the water is great, but it comes with some responsibility for us all to work to ensure that the world around us
remains a strong healthy environment for living and play.

Please, respect your environment by applying the following basic safety rules:

RESPECT ALL ANIMAL LIFE.

Do not approach, do not disturb animals.

AVOID CREATING EXCESSIVE WASH.

USE NON-POLLUTING ANTIFOULING PAINT AND NON POLLUTING CLEANING AGENTS.

KEEP OUT OF DESIGNATED SWIMMING AREAS.

DON'T MAKE UNNECESSARY NOISE,

particularly around launching ramps and populated areas.

DO NOT DISCHARGE OIL OR FUELS INTO THE WATER.

This is illegal, causes pollution and harms

plant and animal life.

DO NOT LITTER.

Dispose of garbage and trash properly. If there is no appropriate refuse disposal,

bring back your trash.

12. MAINTENANCE: DEFLATING – FOLDING THE ITEM – CLEANING – WINTERING STORAGE

1. Remove oars/paddles and other accessories.
2. Clean and check the item as well as all the accessories after each use. Rinse it thoroughly making sure to remove

any residues of salt if used in salt water. Use a mild soapy solution, do not use detergents or any type of silicone-
based products. Make sure that the product is completely dry before putting it away.

3. Check the tube for leaks with foamy soap and water. Rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly.
4.

Remove the valves' cap to expose the yellow plastic stem on the inner valve. Press the yellow stem into release air
pressure and turn it to lock the valve in the open position. Deflate the keel and Drop Stitch floor. Finally deflate the three air
chambers

NOTE: do not deflate one air chamber while others are fully inflated ; you would damage the bulkheads of
your boat.

Fold in the 2 sides of the main buoyancy tube, then roll up the boat around the transom. Start again if you feel there is still
some air left in the tubes

6. When storing your inflatable, keep it in a clean and dry place that is not affected by major variations in temperature

and other damaging factors. You may store it deflated and rolled up in a bag or assembled and lightly inflated. Store
it away from rodents.
