Step 1 -‐ Ra5 Inﬂa3on: Items Needed:
1-‐ Ra5 collar
1 -‐ Ra5 ﬂoor
1 -‐ Vinyl tubing valve adapter
1 -‐ Leaﬁeld Valve Adapter (found in repair kit)
Hand, foot or electric pump designed for inﬂatable boats
Inﬂate the ra5 collar and ﬂoor to a so5 pressure using a hand, foot or an electric pump designed for inﬂatable boats. DO NOT INFLATE TO OPERATING PRESSURE AT THIS TIME. To inﬂate: 1. Remove the dust caps from the valves. 2. Push and turn the valve stem 1/4 turn to the right (clockwise). This posi3ons the valve stem in the up or closed posi3on. Having the valve stem in the closed posi3on allows air to be pumped into the ra5 and will prevent air from escaping. 3. Connect the clear vinyl tubing adapter to the pump hose and to the Leaﬁeld valve adapter. 4. Insert the Leaﬁeld valve adapter into the valve on the boat. 5. Inﬂate the chamber to a so5 pressure.
6. Screw dust cap into place.
7. Repeat procedure for all chambers on the ra5 and the ﬂoor. Note: To deﬂate: pic. 7
1. Remove the dust caps from the valves. 2. Push and turn the valve stem 1/4 turn to the le5. This posi3ons the valve stem in the down or open posi3on. Having the valve stem in the open posi3on allows air to escape from the chamber. Changes in air temperature and eleva3on could cause the air inside the ra5 to expand which could cause damage to the AIREcells. Never leave your fully inﬂated ra5 silng in direct sun out of the water.
Always release some air when these condi9ons occur.
Ra5 Floor Installa3on: Place valve in back / stern of ra5
Items Needed:
Front / Bow
2 -‐ Floor lacing rope
1 -‐ Soapy water
1 -‐ Lighter / Butane Torch
* not to scale
1.
2 -‐ Pieces of scrap cardboard
3 -‐Long cam straps (not included)
Using a butane torch or lighter heat about 3-‐4 inches of the ends of the ﬂoor lacing rope and roll to a point between 2 pieces of cardboard. A5er the rope cools it will s3ﬀen and ease the threading through the lacing loops.
2. Soak the ﬂoor lacing rope in the bucket of soapy water for at least 5 minutes before lacing to reduce fric3on. 3. Invert the ra5 collar and secure the 3 long cam straps perpendicular to the length of the ra5. The box can also be placed between the ra5 collar for addi3on ﬂoor support.
4. Center the inverted ﬂoor pocket on the ra5. Pace the valve end of the ﬂoor pocket so the valve is at the back/stern of the raH. The front of the ra5 collar has a splash guard that covers the ﬂoor lacing.
5. Choose a star3ng point on either side of the ﬂoor, usually the middle of the ﬂoor works best. The star3ng point for the lacing is op3onal, but it is paramount that the ﬂoor pocket is correctly
aligned with the collar. 1-‐ Ra5 collar

Remove one rope from the bucket of soapy water and 3e a slip knot in the center of it. This will prevent the rope from being pulled completely through the ini3al lace loop when 3ghtening the rope. Alternate threading the rope through ﬂoor and collar lace loops. This panern should be every other lace loop on both the ﬂoor and the collar. Tighten the rope every 4 or 5 lace loops by pulling the rope parallel to the lace loops. NEVER PULL THE ROPE AT AN ANGLE AS IT MAY CUT AND/OR DAMAGE THE LACE LOOPS.
Con3nue lacing the rope to a point opposite the star3ng point on the ra5 collar.
Return to the lacing’s star3ng point and remove the knot. Using the same alterna3ng panern of ﬂoor lacing in the opposite direc3on. Upon comple3on of lacing of ﬁrst rope in the opposite direc3on. Pull all of the slack out of the ropes and 3e the ends together with a series of half hitch knots to secure the rope. The ends of the rope should be melted together to secure the knots. A5er the rope has cooled, stuﬀ the knoned end between the lacing loops so it will not be exposed on the bonom of the ra5.
Remove the remaining rope from the bucket of soapy water and 3e a slip knot in the center of it. This will prevent the rope from being pulled completely through the ini3al lace loop when 3ghtening the rope.

Short Term Storage -‐ Allow to air dry, deﬂate and roll loosely
Long Term Storage -‐ Store your boat dry and clean. A5er use, rinse oﬀ all debris and allow the boat to air dry on so5 pressure and out of direct sunlight. Residual water inside the bladders/AIREcells will not damage the boat. Store the boat in a cool, dry place out of sunlight and away from exhaust fumes. If you store your boat inﬂated you should be able to pinch an inch of material.
Transport
To avoid excessive wear and extend the life of this cra5 we recommend transpor3ng this cra5 assembled on a trailer or deﬂated in a ra5 bag. Do not load other equipment, par3cularly heavy or sharp objects, on top of the cra5. If you transport your boat in an open truck bed please make sure all sharp objects are removed because more boats are damaged in transport than on the water.
VALVE CAP SHOULD AWAYS BE IN PLACE WHENEVER TRANSPORTING YOUR BOAT.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Your inﬂatable boat is constructed with high quality materials and superior workmanship however, as with all outdoor equipment proper cleaning and maintenance will extend the use of the product and allow it to perform bener. Most damaging to your inﬂatable boat are extended UV exposure, insect repellents, mold and mildew.
To keep your boat performing its best please following these simple instruc3ons.
• Do not set your boat on sharp objects. • Do not over inﬂate your boat.
• Keep the zippers clean. • Clean the boat with soap and water.
• Allow the ﬂoat tube to dry before rolling.

Basic Trouble Shoo3ng
1. Valve does not retain air when pump is removed.
• Clear any debris that might be preven3ng the valve from sealing. This can be accomplished by either pumping quick bursts of air into the valve or removing the core valve assembly and cleaning the valve with a conon swab and denatured alcohol.
• Tighten valve if necessary.
2. Ra5 becomes so5 a5er inﬂa3on process.
• Determine which air chamber is so5. Make sure the valve is func3oning correctly, with no signs of leaking. • Find the hole in the AIREcell and patch with the Tear Aid patch.
4. Zipper is diﬃcult to operate.
• Use a combina3on of soap, water and an old toothbrush to clean and clear the zipper of debris.
5. Tear Aid patch does not s3ck to AIREcell.
• Make sure the area to be patched is dry and clean. Use the alcohol pad to prep the area.
