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.
