4. BOAT ASSEMBLING
Step 1:
Open the boat
Step 2:
Assemble and install
steering console
Step 3:
Install outboard motor
Step 4:
Install double seat
Step 5:
Inflate the boat
- Inspect the condition of the package for and report
to your dealer if you find any damages.
- Remove all the packaging plastic and cardboard
carefully. Do not use knife.
- Check the completeness of the boat and make sure
that no any parts are missing. You must report the
missing part to your dealer immediately.
Unpack the steering console. Connect and secure the
steering cable to the steering system. Install steering
wheel. If your boat is expected to feature electric start
–install the battery tray on the deck under steering
console. Assemble and mount control box on the right
side of the console. Make sure the handle in upper
position does not touch the railing. Install the steering
console on the deck with bolts with washers and
tighten them.
Install the outboard motor following the motor user’s
manual.
Unpack the double seats and install them on the deck
with bolts with washers and tighten them.
- Open the pump, connect the pump hose to the pump
onto inflation opening.
- Connect bayonet adapter of the pump hose to the valve
-Inflate the rear compartments first up to pressure
slightly below nominal, and the bow compartment
the last up to the nominal pressure. In this case the
flexible baffles in the tube will move towards the rear
compartments and equalize the pressure in all
compartments.
You may use the manometer to measure the pressure
level to ensure the best performance of the boat and
make sure that the pressure is about nominal level.
Nominal tube pressure is mentioned on Capacity Plate
IMPORTANT!!! WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THE BOAT
ASSEMBLING AND THE OUTBOARD MOTOR RIGGING
TO BE MANAGED BY CERTIFIED BOAT DEALER ONLY

5. VALVES OPERATION
a) INFLATION-DEFLATION VALVE
operation:
b) OVERPRESSURE VALVE
operation:
Inflation-deflation valve has
PUSH-PUSH operating system:
Pressing the central pin the valve
Switches between OPEN and
CLOSED.
To inflate the tube put the pin to
CLOSED position (pin moves
UP). To deflate the tube put the
pin to OPEN position (pin moves
DOWN).
After inflation every valve must be
closed with the valve plug tight to
ensure airtightness of the tube.
Overpressure valve protects the
boat against unexpected pressure
increase over the maximum
working limit.
In case of any tube pressure
ncrease or overinflating the gasket
of the valve will open
automatically, release all
excessive air and bring the tube
pressure to nominal. Make sure
that the valve cup is always clean.
Check the valve operation during
boat maintenance.
OVERINFLATING AND OVERHEATING OF YOUR BOAT MAY
CAUSE THE BOAT DAMAGE. AVOID OVERPUMPING THE
BOAT, LEAVING THE BOAT NOT COVERED, USING HIGH-
PRESSURE INFLATORS. USE MANOMETER TO CHECK THE
PRESSURE IN THE TUBE REGULARLY
