TRANSPORTING BY ROAD
WARNING
Risk of automobile accident, injury or loss of life in case of loss of control of trailer or boat while driving.
ROOF RACK
• Do not attempt to use a roof rack to transport the Generation.
TRAILER
• Read Owner’s Manual provided with trailer.
• Use a BUNK trailer. Do not use a ROLLER trailer. Rollers do not provide adequate support for hull.
• Use a trailer suitable for the type of craft and its mass.
• Secure boat to trailer and stop frequently to check boat is securely fastened while driving.
• Do not exceed maximum capacity of trailer.
• Do not trailer boat with objects inside hull.
Check with trailer manufacturer if weight and shape of boat is sufcient for control at driving speeds.
INFLATION
First time ination - When inating your boat for the rst time, inate all air chambers evenly as directed in
INFLATION SEQUENCE. Once the boat is completely inated release 50% of the air pressure in all chambers
and re-inate all chambers to working pressure. This will allow fabric to settle from packaging.
INFLATION SEQUENCE
Using foot pump provided, inate each chamber to approximately 50%. This will protect the bafes which separate
the chambers from unnecessary distortion and potential harm.
Finish inating each chamber. The tubes should be “drum tight”. Working pressure of tubes is 0.25bar or 3.5psi.
CAUTION
Do not use a compressed air source (ie. automotive tire air compressor) to inate boat/tubes. Over-ination by
a compressed air source can rupture seams and/or bulkheads.
When using an electric pump to inate your boat, nish ination procedure with manual foot pump provided.
Air chambers must be inated evenly and to correct working pressure (0.25bar/3.5psi).
Over a period of days tubes may lose pressure. Check pressure before use and re-inate chambers to working
pressure if necessary. Failure to do so could result in chang or damage to tube or other parts of boat.
CAUTION
Do not exceed working pressure of tubes. Exceeding working pressure can damage fabric, bafes, or
seams and cause loss of pressure.
