Assembly And Disassembly - West Marine Inflatable Boats Owner's Manual

ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY

Attention ! Do not use a compressed air source (such as a compressor) to
inflate boats. Over-inflation through the use of compressed air may result in
ruptured seams and/or bulkheads.
ASSEMBLY
1. Remove any sharp object from flat surface where the boat will be assembled and
inflated.
2. Unfold and spread out the boat flat.
4. When using the boat for the first time, fully inflate it by attaching the foot pump
to each of the valves, one at a time, and when pumping, ensure that a balance of
pressure between the chambers is maintained until the boat has been fully inflated.
When the boat has been fully inflated, unscrew the valves and allow approximately
½ of the air to escape. Screw the valves on again, and continue assembling the boat.
NOTE : Do not inflate the keel until the floor boards have been installed.
