Coleman T68 Runabout Owner's Manual

To inflate the Coleman T68, use a high-output air pump. Begin by attaching the pump nozzle to the inflation valve and ensure it is securely fastened. Inflate until the boat takes shape and feels firm, but do not overinflate as it may damage the material.
To deflate, open the air valves and gently press down on the boat to expel air. Once fully deflated, fold the boat neatly without creating sharp creases, and store it in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
First, locate the puncture and clean the area thoroughly. Use the repair kit provided with the inflatable: apply the adhesive and patch over the puncture, then press firmly. Allow it to dry for several hours before reinflating.
Rinse the inflatable with fresh water after each use to remove salt and debris. Check for any signs of wear or damage, and make sure the valves are functioning properly. Store the boat in a dry, shaded area when not in use.
Yes, an electric pump can be used for convenience. Ensure the pump is compatible with the inflation valve and monitor the pressure to prevent overinflation.
Inspect the inflatable for leaks or damage, paying special attention to the seams and valves. Use a soapy water solution to locate any leaks by looking for bubbles forming. Repair any leaks found with the appropriate patch kit.
Ensure all passengers wear life jackets and understand basic safety protocols. Do not exceed the weight capacity of the inflatable, and avoid rough waters or weather conditions that could compromise safety.
Yes, the Coleman T68 is designed to be compatible with small motors. Ensure the motor does not exceed the recommended power and weight limits, and follow the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully.
Check if the valve is properly closed and free from debris. If it continues to leak, inspect for damage. You may need to replace the valve if it is faulty or damaged beyond repair.
Rinse the inflatable thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt residues. Use a mild soap if necessary, and ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mold and mildew.
