CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate
injury.
NOTE: provides important information and draws attention to situations whose non-observance can lead, for
example, to failure of the engine or other main components.
●NATIONAL LEGISLATION
Before operating the nemaxx inflatable boat, the respective legal regulations regarding restrictions on the waters
on which you wish to operate the boat must be obtained. These include restrictions on general operation, speed,
use of outboard engines, airborne noise levels, etc.
●IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
In order to enjoy the waters safely, you should familiarise yourself with local and other applicable shipping rules
and regulations and observe the following suggestions.
●Use rescue aids. An approved and certified lifejacket of the correct size must always be available on board for
all boat occupants (required by law).
●THE DATA ON THE TYPE PLATE MUST NOT BE EXCEEDED!
●Do not overload the boat. Most boats are designed for a maximum load (weight) (see nameplate on your
boat - the nameplate is located on the inside of the boat mirror). Overloading violates the regulations
●Do not exceed the recommendations regarding the maximum number of persons allowed. Irrespective of the
number of persons on board, the total weight of persons and equipment must under no circumstances exceed
the maximum recommended payload.
●Carry out safety checks and prescribed maintenance work. Follow a regular maintenance schedule and
ensure that all repairs are carried out properly.
●Know and respect all shipping rules and regulations.
●Before each use, check that the boat is inflated and in the case of long water voyages, inflate the boat a
maximum of 24 hours in advance.
●Children are not allowed to use the boat without adult supervision.
●Ensure that all occupants of the boat are seated properly. Passengers must not sit in seats not intended
for this purpose. This includes all parts of the boat where sudden, unexpected acceleration, sudden stop-
ping, unexpected loss of control of the boat or sudden movement of the boat could cause a fall in the boat or
overboard.
●Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is prohibited by law. Alcohol and drugs affect your judg-
ment and reaction.
●Carefully inspect all boat parts, including air chambers and air valves, before each use to ensure that everything
is in proper condition and securely secured. If damage is found, please stop to repair it.
●On longer journeys, safety equipment such as torches, first aid kits, anchors, etc. must be adequately conside-
red.

Version: 1.2
KEN002ZB 02.02.2020
●Familiarize other people with the boat's operation.Familiarise at least one person on board with the basics
of starting and operating the outboard engine and handling the boat. This is useful if the driver becomes
disabled or falls overboard.
●When passengers board or disembark or are near the stern, the engine must always be switched off. It is not
enough to switch the outboard engine to neutral only.
●Always be careful. The skipper is legally responsible for keeping his eyes and ears open in order to detect pos-
sible dangers in good time. In particular, the skipper must have unobstructed forward vision. If the boat is
running at more than idle speed, no passengers, cargo or fishing seats may obstruct the boatmaster's view.
●Never drive the boat directly behind a water skier, as he or she could fall. Watch out for fallen water skiers.
The skipper must always keep an eye on fallen water skiers and must never go backwards to a person in the
water.
●Never set off on the water alone.
●Always load the boat carefully and distribute the load evenly in order to maintain the (flat) trim position
of the boat. Do not store heavy objects high up.
●Observe offshore winds (from land to water) and currents.
●Do not use in strong winds in open waters.
●Never jump into the product.
●Never let vehicles pull you.
●Do not inflate with compressed air. Do not inflate excessively! Check the pressure frequently when inflating.
●Always inform someone of your departure time and place. Suggested route and time you expect to
return.
●The display of navigation lights may be required. The user should ensure that a boat is not operated in dar-
kness or other dangerous weather conditions unless the correct navigation lights have been installed and are
functioning properly.
CATION
Do not under any circumstances exceed the maximum recommended payload when loading the
inflatable boat. Always load the boat carefully and distribute the load evenly in order to maintain the
(level) trim position of the boat.
CAUTION
Do not exceed the recommendations regarding the maximum number of persons allowed. Irrespec-
tive of the number of persons on board, the total weight of persons and equipment must under no
circumstances exceed the maximum recommended payload.

NOTE: Overpressure can damage seams and chamber partitions. Do not use a compressed air source
(compressor) to ll the air chambers.
IMPORTANT: Never ll a chamber to full volume or empty it completely. When inating or deating the
chambers, maintain a balanced air pressure to prevent damage to the internal partitions separating the
air chambers. Do not inate one air chamber fully on its own, but so that all chambers are lled evenly
one by one up to full pressure.

The air pumps supplied with the boat are specially designed to inate the boat at the correct ination
pressure. When they are used, any overpressure problems are avoided. Thanks to their suction functi-
on, they also allow the oats to be completely emptied and thus easily folded.

Mounting the engine
●Ensure that you have a secure footing.
●Unlock the motor to tilt and mount the motor to the mirror.
●The motor must be mounted in the middle of the mirror for it to function properly.
●Screw the brackets securely to the rear.
Arrangement of the outboard engine
The outboard engine must be installed so that it is vertical in the water in its normal operating position. The
positioning of the outboard motor is important for the sailing characteristics of the boat. If the outboard motor is
not in the correct position it can splash water into the boat or suck in air.
Starting the engine:
●Pull the boat into the water.
●Move the engine to the lower operating position.
●Ensure that the boat is stable and start the engine.
NOTE: Choose an outboard motor for the boat whose power range and maximum weight meet the boat's
requirements. Information on the maximum power and maximum weight of the outboard can be found in the
"Technical Data" table in this manual or on the nameplate attached to the boat.
●OUTBOARD ENGINE
DANGER
Overpowering may cause serious or fatal injury or damage to the boat.
Operation of an outboard motor that exceeds the maximum engine power of the boat may result in
1) Cause manoeuvring problems and affect the stability of the boat.
2)Sternweightoftheboatandthusachangeintheotationcharacteristicsoftheboatinduce
3) Lead to breakage of the boat, especially in the area of the stern.
Information on the maximum permissible engine power can be found under technical data in this
operating manual.
USE AN EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH. This switch switches off the engine when the skipper
leaves the operating position or goes overboard for any reason. Such falls are often also the cause
of poor handling, such as sitting on the seat back or the Schandeck when gliding, standing when
gliding,sittingonraisedshingboatdecks,operationwhenglidinginshalloworobstructedwaters.
CAUTION
●If the skipper goes overboard, the risk of serious or fatal injury from the boat can be greatly reduced
if the engine is switched off immediately. Always connect the pull rope to the emergency stop switch
and attach it to the skipper.
●The switch can also be accidentally activated during normal cruising. This could result in the follo-
wing dangerous situations.
●Avoid serious or fatal injuries caused by the deceleration force generated by an accidental or
unexpected triggering of the emergency stop switch. The skipper should never leave his operating
positionwithoutrstreleasingthepullrope

INFORMATION ON SAFETY AND OPERATION.
IMPORTANT: The bow ring handle must not be used for towing, anchoring or mooring the boat.
For towing, use the appropriate towing eyelets on the starboard and port side of the boat. Attach the line
between the towing eyes in such a way that they are shaped like a reins. Attach a tow line to this reins and tow
the boat at low speed.
●Check the air pressure in the air chambers.
●Removeallblockagesfromtheself-drainingoordrain.
●Check the outboard motor for safe mounting on the mirror.
●Check the fuel level and determine the range per level.
●Ensure that the outboard engine emergency stop switch is functioning properly.
●Ensure that the boat is not overloaded. Do not exceed the maximum number of passengers and payload.
Pay attention to the payload plate.
●Ensure that an approved lifejacket of the correct size is available for each person on board and that it is
easily accessible.
●Ensure that the paddles are in the boat in case of engine failure.
●The skipper knows the procedures for safe navigation, safe boating and safe outboard operation.
●A life belt or life cushion that can be thrown to a person in the water.
●Distribute passengers and cargo evenly throughout the boat. All persons must sit in designated seats or on
theoor.
●Instruct at least one passenger in the basic concepts of handling the boat and starting and operating the
outboard engine if the skipper is unable to operate the boat or falls overboard.
●Before sailing, inform someone of the destination of the trip and the expected time of return.
●Know the waters and the area. Know the tides, currents, sandbanks, rocks and other hazards.
●STABILITY AND BUOYANCY.
DISTRIBUTION OF PERSONS AND LUGGAGE
For safe operation, it is recommended that passengers sit in the middle of the boat whenever possible. It is
possible to sit on the sides of the boat if someone is sitting on the other side.
Make sure that loose equipment is securely fastened during the voyage.
All loads placed in the boat should be evenly distributed to ensure correct trim of the boat during operation..
●CHECKLIST BEFORE COMMISSIONING.
[ EN ● 17 ]
Version: 1.2
KEN002ZB 02.02.2020
Breaking waves pose a serious threat to stability. Always wear a life jacket!
DRIVE ALONE - If the boat is operated without other passengers, the skipper must NOT sit on the hoses or
seat. The weight must be held as far forward and in the middle as possible.
Do not place heavy objects near the mirror. Avoid extremely fast acceleration in order to avoid the risk of
overturning.Windandwavescanbeextremelydangerousfortheinatable.Theboatcanoverturneasilyifthe
cargo is not well distributed in the bow and wind and current are acting against the bow.
The distribution of the load and the weight hold the bow to ensure safety on the water.
●If your outboard motor is mounted too high on the mirror, excessive cavitation will occur (air bubbles and
slippage on the propeller).
●If the outboard motor is mounted too low on the mirror, this causes resistance and water is sprayed into the
boat..
Bothwillresultinareductioninspeed.Youshouldthereforendtheidealpositionbeforemountingtheengine
rmlyonthemirror(consulttheenginemanufacturer).
It is recommended to keep the boat level at all speeds. The bow should not point UP or DOWN to the water.
PAY ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING:
●If the outboard engine is angled too far away from the mirror, the boat will be driven with the bow raised.
●If the outboard engine is angled too close to the mirror, the bow will be pushed too deep into the water,
resulting in a loss of speed and/or cavitation.
●Check the engine mounting bolts regularly. A loose engine screw connection leads to sudden engine opera-
tion and can even lead to loss of the engine overboard.
●Read the engine manual carefully before starting the engine.
●Check that the cargo on board does not rub against the boat skin or puncture it.
Turning the boat
Reduce the driving speed for sharp turns. The boat tilts considerably towards the inside of the turning circle.
WARNING
When driving at high speeds or gliding: avoid abrupt turns and high waves as these can endanger
passengers. Ensure that all persons hold on to the handles. Reduce speed during swell for comfort
and safety. Small children must sit in the boat.

Air chamber defect
Yournemaxxinatableboatisequippedwithmorethanoneairchamber.Forthisreasontheboatretainsat
least 50% of its buoyancy when an air chamber is pierced and air escapes. Shift the weight to the other side. If
necessary, seal the leaking chamber (by tying or holding it up) and immediately set course for shore or mother
ship (whichever is closer). Pay special attention to shoals or reefs as they may scratch the boat and cause
further damage.
Landing (beaches)
DO NOT place the boat on the beach under engine power, pull it over rocks, sand, gravel or paving, as this
may damage the boat skin.
Sunlight
The boat should not be exposed to sunlight for long periods of time. Changing the air pressure in the tubes can
damage the boat. Excessive exposure to sunlight (ultraviolet rays) over a longer period of time may accelerate
the ageing of the material.
Protect and cover the boat from direct sunlight. In addition, the use of a boat cover, tarpaulin is recommended
to avoid e.g. deposits of exhaust gases (soot).
If the boat is to be temporarily left on a beach, part of the boat should be left in the water to dissipate the inter-
nal heat generated by sunlight, which increases air pressure.
Smoking
Avoid smoking, especially when refuelling the boat. Portable fuel tanks should be placed on a padded base
and securely fastened to the boat with a strap to avoid impact and the risk of damage during travel.
Refuelling
Always follow the recommendations below when refuelling:
●If possible, remove portable tanks from the boat for refuelling.
●Fillthetanksinafreeareaawayfromheatsources,sparksorames.

Operation at altitudes
Iftheboathasbeeninatedatsealevel(lowaltitude)andthentransportedtohigheraltitudes(e.g.foroperati-
on in a mountain lake), the pressure at altitudes must be reduced to avoid overpressure.
Water hazards
●Wrecks, reefs, rocky shores, sandbanks and shoals should be avoided or approached with caution.
●If you are sailing in unknown waters, inform yourself about the local water hazards before take-off.

MAINTENANCE
●Household cleaners should only be used sparingly and must not be discharged into the water.
●Never mix cleaning agents and ensure adequate ventilation in closed rooms.
●DO NOT use harsh cleaning agents, solvents or products containing phosphates, chlorine, solvents or
products that are not biodegradable or oil-based.
●IMPORTANT: Do NOT use waxes or detergents containing alcohol on the boat fabric. Alcohol will dry out
the boat fabric prematurely.
●Citrus-based cleaners are excellent for cleaning boats and are safe for you and the environment.
●Your dinghy is best cleaned with water and normal soap.
●CLEANING AGENTS
●SMALL REPAIRS
For small holes, you can use the material provided in the repair kit.
For larger areas - or if the patch overlaps a seam - the damage should be repaired by a professional
repair mechanic in a dinghy repair shop.
For best bonding results, the relative humidity should be less than 60% and the temperature should be bet-
ween 18°C and 25°C (65°F and 77°F). Do not carry out such repairs in direct sunlight.
In general, proceed as follows:
●Cut out a patch large enough to overlap the damaged area by 30 mm on all sides.
●Center the overlapping patch on the damaged area and mark the outline of the patch with a pencil.
●Remove stains from the surface around the air leak and patch by roughening this area evenly, but not too
deeply,withsandpaperwithoutexposingthebresofthematerial.
●Clean the area around the damaged area and the patch.
●Apply two thin layers of adhesive to the back of the patch and the area to be repaired on the boat using a
short-hairedbrush.Allowtherstlayertodrycompletely(about15minutes)beforeapplyingthesecond
layer.Thesecondcoatmustdryuntilsticky.Thenapplythepatchtothepreparedareaandpressrmlyinto

IMPORTANT To avoid discoloration of boat skin or hoses due to vegetation or polluted waters, DO NOT leave
the boat in the water for extended periods of time.
●After each operation, the boat and all parts should be washed with mild soap and rinsed with fresh water.
All parts should be allowed to dry before storage in a carrying bag. This prevents stick or mildew stains.
