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.
