Cleaning Procedure

FABRIC SURFACES

Inflate the air chambers. Clean the fabric with a mild soap and fresh

water solution. 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.

BOAT HULL

Remove the drain plug. Use a hose to wash out any debris from

the interior. Wash the interior with soap and water. Clean any

debris from the drain valve. Rinse with fresh water and dry

thoroughly. Replace the drain plug.

Deflating

IMPORTANT: When deflating the side air chambers, do not deflate

one side air chamber at a time. When deflating, maintain a

balanced air pressure between air chambers to prevent stress or

potential damage to the inside diaphragms that separate the air

chambers.
