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.
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.
