5. INFLATION INSTRUCTIONS
BEGIN BY PLACING THE RAFT ON A CLEAN, FLAT SURFACE, MAKING SURE TO KEEP IT AWAY FROM ANY SHARP
OR ABRASIVE OBJECTS THAT COULD DAMAGE THE FABRIC. BEFORE STARTING THE INFLATION, PERFORM A VISUAL
INSPECTION TO CHECK FOR ANY LEAKS, TEARS, OR VISIBLE DAMAGE, AND ENSURE THAT THE INFLATION VALVES
ARE IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION. THEN, UNSCREW THE CAPS FROM ALL THE RAFT'S INFLATION VALVES.
USE A MANUAL OR ELECTRIC INFLATER TO INFLATE THE AIR CHAMBERS, BEING CAREFUL NOT TO EXCEED THE
RECOMMENDED PRESSURE. ONCE ALL THE AIR CHAMBERS ARE INFLATED, SCREW THE CAPS BACK ONTO THE VALVES
TO PREVENT ANY AIR LEAKAGE. YOUR RAFT IS NOW READY FOR USE.

6. DEFLATION AND FOLDING
BY FOLLOWING THESE TIPS, YOU WILL EXTEND THE LIFESPAN OF YOUR RAFT AND
ENSURE IT'S READY FOR SAFE USE ON YOUR NEXT AQUATIC ADVENTURES.
1- CLEAN AND DRY THE RAFT.
2- OPEN THE VALVES TO DEFLATE THE RAFT BY ROLLING IT TOWARDS THE VALVES.
3- MAKE SURE ALL THE AIR IS OUT, INCLUDING INDIVIDUAL COMPARTMENTS
(THWARTS). OPTIONALLY, USE AN ELECTRIC INFLATOR IN DEFLATION MODE TO
SPEED UP THE PROCESS.
4- ONCE DEFLATED, LAY THE RAFT FLAT.
5- FOLD THE TUBES IN HALF LENGTHWISE (1)(2).
6- THEN FOLD THE RAFT ON ITSELF IN SECTIONS OF ABOUT 80 CM, STARTING FROM
THE SIDE OPPOSITE TO THE BOTTOM VALVES (3)(4).
YOU CAN NOW STORE YOUR RAFT IN A DRY AND COOL PLACE, PROTECTED FROM
WEATHER, UV RAYS, AND RODENTS. AVOID LEAVING IT FOLDED FOR EXTENDED
PERIODS AS THIS CAN CAUSE PERMANENT CREASES IN THE MATERIAL.
