others.

Always keep control of your boat.

Respect local regulations and practices.

Near the shore, navigate in the designated boating area.

Always use the Stop Switch Lanyard.

Do not drink alcohol or take drugs before or while operating your boat. Maintain passenger sobriety.

Do not exceed the authorized number of persons or weight.
•
Make sure your passengers remain seated at all times. At planning speeds, in rough water or during
sharp turns, all passengers should position themselves in seats or on the floor.

No bow riding. Bow riding is illegal in most areas and is extremely dangerous. In case of falling, the
man overboard is in the way of the propeller.

Keep clear of swimmers and divers. 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 maintain a safe distance as required by your local boating
laws, which may range from 50 meters (164 feet) to 91 meters (300 feet).

Reboarding your boat
All around grab line is provided to assist with reboarding the boat. Grabbing the line and pulling
yourself inside the cockpit is easiest to perform over the port and starboard (left and right) sides of
the boat. Pay attention to all safety information and warnings on your boat and never approach the
boatfrom the stern (back side) when a motor is installed.
Care and Maintenance
The boat is made of the highest quality materials and complies with ISO 6185 standards. Altering the
construction of the boat will endanger your own safety, safety of the occupants and void the limited
warranty!
There is very little that you have to do to keep your boat in good condition for many years. You may
store it inflated or deflated. If you leave it outside, raise it up off the ground and do not place any heavy
or sharp objects on it. If it is going to be in direct sunlight or exposed to leaves or rain, cover it with a
tarp. We do not recommend hanging the boat. If you store it in a closet, basement or garage, we
suggest you pick a cool, dry place, making sure the boat is clean and dry before you store it - or mold
can accumulate.
Use as few cleaning agents as possible, do not discharge waste agents into water, and clean your boat
preferably on land.
Clean your boat after a trip to prevent damage from sand, salt water or sun exposure.
Most dirt can be removed with a garden hose, a sponge and mild soap. Make sure the boat is completely
dry before storing. Store the product and accessories in a dry, temperature controlled,between 32 degrees
Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) storage location.
