Now attach the four webbing straps on the pontoon to the pontoon
side frame. Thread the straps as follows:
1. Around the inside metal tube of the pontoon side frame...
2. Back to the buckle...
3. Through the buckle threading path...
4. Fold the remaining webbing back around the inside
metal frame tube and trap it between the pontoon
and webbing.
Repeat for the remaining straps then attach the other pontoon
to its frame in the same manner.
8. Inflate the pontoons completely.
Finish inflating the pontoons as outlined in Step 4.
Inflate to approximately 2.5 psi (0.17 BAR).
Inflate until firm but not hard. DO NOT over inflate.
9. Finish securing the apron/cargo deck.
Find the web loops sewn in at the front outside edges
of the pontoons.
Thread the rip-and-grip strips at the front of the apron/
cargo deck from the bottom and tighten, securing the
rip-and-grip on itself. [Fig.1]
Find the rip-and-grip strips on the sides of the apron/
cargo deck and on the inboard sides of the pontoons
near the center pocket. [Fig.2] Press both sides firmly
together.
10. Attach the seat.
Place the seat on the seat platform connecting the
rip-and-grip strips on the bottom of the seat and the
top of the seat platform. (Don't worry about the seat
position—we'll deal with that later).
Next, find the buckle located at the bottom on the rear
of the seat and the strap that you threaded through
the apron/cargo deck in step 5. Join the two halves of
the of the buckle and tighten the strap.
