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 sufficient for control at driving speeds.
INFLATION
First time inflation - When inflating your boat for the first time, inflate all air chambers evenly as directed in
INFLATION SEQUENCE. Once the boat is completely inflated release 50% of the air pressure in all chambers
and re-inflate all chambers to working pressure. This will allow fabric to settle from packaging.
INFLATION SEQUENCE
Using foot pump provided, inflate each chamber to approximately 50%. This will protect the baffles which separate
the chambers from unnecessary distortion and potential harm.
Finish inflating 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 inflate boat/tubes. Over-inflation by
a compressed air source can rupture seams and/or bulkheads.
When using an electric pump to inflate your boat, finish inflation procedure with manual foot pump provided.
Air chambers must be inflated 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-inflate chambers to working
pressure if necessary. Failure to do so could result in chafing or damage to tube or other parts of boat.
CAUTION
Do not exceed working pressure of tubes. Exceeding working pressure can damage fabric, baffles, or
seams and cause loss of pressure.
