1. Confirm that all the parts are present.
(See the parts list on page 9).
2. Identify the right and left
pontoons.
You can identify the right and
left pontoons by the "R" (right)
and "L" (left) labels sewn on the
inside of the pocket on top of
each.
The inflation valves are
located on the top of
the pontoons in front of
the main pocket.
Each valve has a center
button that opens and
closes the valve by simply
pushing down, and
turning a quarter turn.
The valve is open when
the center button is down
and closed when it is up.
Before inflating, make
sure the valve is in the
closed position.
Unscrew the valve cap,
make sure the valve
is closed and insert
the inflation adapter
into the valve and
twist to secure. Inflate
using a foot pump or
air compressor with
a cone-type nozzle
fitting.
Inflate the main
chamber in the pontoon to about 3/4 full. Do not
inflate beyond 3/4 full because it will make the
next step very difficult—attaching the pontoons
to the frame.
Repeat this step with the other pontoon.

3. Attach the pontoons to the frames.
Each pontoon attaches to a metal pontoon frame
with two webbing attachment straps.
Locate the left and right pontoon frames. On the
front of each rail (where the front of the boat will
be) there is a "L" (left) or "R" (right) label indicating
left or right. Place a left pontoon frame on top of the
left pontoon (remember—the left/right label is in
the pocket) and a right pontoon frame on the right
pontoon. The longest straight tube of each rail
should be on the same side of the pontoon as
the pontoon zipper.
Now attach the two webbing straps on the
pontoon to the pontoon frame. Thread the straps
as follows:
• Under outside frame, over frame, through ring,
over frame...
• Over to the other side, under inside frame,
through ring, under frame again, over frame,
through cam buckle, over frame...
