Inflating Instructions
Before starting, locate a clean area free of stones or other sharp objects. Unroll the
93A
boat so it is laid out flat, and locate your pump.
Use a hand or foot operated air pump to inflate the boat. Do not use high-pressure air
compressors.Adults should inflate the chambers following the numerical sequence marked
on the valves. It is very important to follow the numerical sequence; failure to do so will result
in an improperly inflated boat. Fill each chamber until it is stiff to the touch but NOT hard.
Use the enclosed ruler to check the main chamber for proper inflation by leveling it with the
gauges printed on the boat. DO NOT OVER INFLATE. Fill with cold air only.
IMPORTANT:
Air temperature and weather condition do affect the internal air pressure of
inflatable products. In cold weather the product will lose some pressure due to the fact that
the air will contract. If this occurs, you may want to add a little air to the product. However, in
hot weather, the air will expand. You must let some air out to prevent the product from failing
due to overpressure.
How to Use Boston Valve:
1. Double valve cap (valve lets air in, not out).
2. Quick deflation cap.
3. Unscrew Double valve cap.
4. Insert output end of air pump into valve and fill. Do not over inflate or use high pressure
compressor.
5. To deflate: Unscrew quick-deflation cap.
when this cap is off. Do not unscrew this cap while boat or inflatable is in water.

Safety and Operating Instructions
Before Departing from the Shore or Dock
Know all required information and inform your passengers:
•
Take a boating safety course and get hands-on training from your boat dealer or local
boating authorities.
•
Know all local regulations and hazards related to water activities and boat operation.
•
Check weather forecast, local currents, tides and wind conditions.
•
Advise someone on land of the time you plan to be back at your starting point.
•
Explain basic boat operation to all passengers.
•
Children and non-swimmers need special instructions in the use of life jacket or personal
floatation devices (PFD).
•
Be sure that one of your passengers can operate the boat in case of emergency.
•
Learn how to determine the distance you can cover, and remember that bad weather
conditions can alter this.
•
Review all safety requirements regularly.
93A
Check the working condition of the boat and equipments:
•
Check inflation pressure.
•
Inspect the valves caps.
•
Check the load is evenly distributed, fore (front) to aft (back) and side-to-side.
Make sure that all required safety equipment is on board (check the laws and
regulations of the country or locality in which you are boating to see if additional
equipment may be needed):
•
One personal flotation device (PFD) per person.
•
Air pump, oars, repair kit and tool kit.
•
Any other mandatory equipment.

Rules to Observe During Navigation
•
Be responsible, do not neglect the safety rules, this could jeopardize your life and the lives of
others.
•
Always keep control of your boat.
•
Respect local regulations and practices.
•
Near the shore, navigate in the designated boating area.
•
Remember that weather conditions can rapidly deteriorate. Always be sure that you can
reach a shelter rapidly.
•
Everyone on board must always wear a personal flotation device (PFD).
•
Do not drink alcohol or take drugs before or while operating your boat. Maintain passenger sobriety.
•
Do not exceed the authorized number of persons or weight.
•
Make sure your passengers remain seated at all times. At planning speeds, in rough water
or during sharp turns, all passengers should position themselves in seats or on the floor.
•
No bow riding. Bow riding is illegal in most areas and is extremely dangerous. In case of
falling, the man overboard is in the way of the propeller.
•
Be especially careful when docking. Arms and legs may be injured if they are outside the boat.
•
Keep clear of swimmers and divers. Always avoid areas where divers/swimmers are in the water.
•
Keep a sharp lookout especially when operating near beaches and launch sites. The Alpha flag
indicates proximity of divers. You MUST maintain a safe distance as required by your local
boating laws, which may range from 50 meters (164 feet) to 91 meters (300 feet).
•
Avoid sharp turns at high speeds. You could get ejected from the boat.
•
Do not make changes in direction without advising passengers.
•
Avoid all contact between the buoyancy tubes and sharp objects or aggressive liquids (such as acid).
•
Do not smoke on board.
93A
Reboarding your boat
All around grab line is provided to assist with reboarding the boat. Grabbing the line and pulling
yourself inside the cockpit is easiest to perform over the port and starboard (left and right) sides of
the boat. Pay attention to all safety information and warnings on your boat and never approach the boat
from the stern (back side) when a motor is installed.
Care and Maintenance
The boat is made of the highest quality materials and complies with ISO 6185 standards. Altering the
construction of the boat will endanger your own safety, safety of the occupants and void the limited
warranty!
There is very little that you have to do to keep your boat in good condition for many years. You may
store it inflated or deflated. If you leave it outside, raise it up off the ground and do not place any heavy
or sharp objects on it. If it is going to be in direct sunlight or exposed to leaves or rain, cover it with a
tarp. We do not recommend hanging the boat. If you store it in a closet, basement or garage, we
suggest you pick a cool, dry place, making sure the boat is clean and dry before you store it - or
mold can accumulate.
Use as few cleaning agents as possible, do not discharge waste agents into water, and clean your boat
preferably on land.
Clean your boat after a trip to prevent damage from sand, salt water or sun exposure.
Most dirt can be removed with a garden hose, a sponge and mild soap. Make sure the boat is
completely dry before storing. Store the product and accessories in a dry, temperature controlled,
between 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius)
storage location.

(93IO) “ISO” BOAT W/O MOTOR MOUNTING (TYPE I) ENGLISH 4.875” X 7.25” 05/10/2018
Disassembly and Storage
First clean your boat thoroughly following the Care and Maintenance instructions. Open
all air valves and deflate boat completely. Remove all the accessories from the boat; seats,
fishing rod holders, oars, gear pouch and battery pouch.
Flip the boat over. Fold the left side of the boat over and then fold the right side over the
left. Fold the bow end twice to the middle of the boat tightly while forcing out any remaining
air; repeat this procedure for the stern. With two opposing folded sides, fold one end over
the other like closing a book. Your boat is ready for storage. Fold the boat loosely and avoid
sharp bends, corners and creases which can damage the boat.
93A
Troubleshooting
If your boat appears a bit soft, it might not be because of a leak. If the boat was inflated late
in the day with 32 °C (90 °F) air, that air might cool down to 25 °C (77 °F) overnight. The
cooler air exerts less pressure on the hull, so it could appear soft the next morning.
If there has been no temperature variation, you need to start looking for a leak:
•
Take a good look at your boat from just a few feet away. Flip it over and closely check
over the outside. Any large leaks should be clearly visible.
•
If you have an idea where your leak is, use a mix of dishwashing liquid and water in a
spray bottle, and spray over the suspicious areas. Any leak will produce bubbles that will
pinpoint the location of the leak.
•
Check valves for leak, if necessary, spray soapy water around the valve and the valve
base.
Repairs
Through constant use you may occasionally puncture your boat. Most leaks only take a few
minutes to repair. Your boat comes with a repair patch, and additional repair supplies can be
ordered from Intex Consumer Service or from our website.
First locate the leak; soapy water will bubble out from the source of the leak. Thoroughly
clean the area surrounding the leak to remove any dirt or grime.
Cut a piece of repair patch large enough to overlap the damaged area by approximately
1.5 cm (1/2”). Round off the edges, and place the patch on the damaged area and PRESS
DOWN FIRMLY. You may want to use a weight on top to keep it in place.
Do not inflate in 30 minutes after patching.
If the patch does not hold, you can purchase a PVC or silicon based glue for repairing
camping mats, tents or shoes from your local market to patch your boat, please refer to the
instruction of the glue for patching.
