- Locate the battery compartment on the motor unit.
- Carefully open the compartment.
- Insert 6 D-cell batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+ / -) as indicated inside the compartment.
- Securely close the battery compartment cover to prevent water ingress.

3. Motor Attachment
Insert the motor unit into the designated opening on the underside of the float. Ensure it is securely fastened and the propeller is positioned correctly beneath the float. The control joystick should be easily accessible from the seating area.

Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: After each use, rinse the float and motor unit with fresh water to remove chlorine, salt, or debris.
- Drying: Thoroughly dry all components, especially the motor and battery compartment, before storage. Water ingress into the battery compartment can cause damage.
- Battery Care: Always remove batteries from the motor unit when the float is not in use or before long-term storage. This prevents corrosion and extends battery life.
- Storage: Store the deflated float and motor in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid folding the float tightly to prevent creases or damage.
