pump or lling system and maintaining pressure in the
tube for prolonged time.
— adjustable drop of pressure in compartment.
The air ll valve is designed as a tab-type non-return valve.
Every ination / deation valve includes the following parts : valve body 1,
valve nut 5, valve cap 2 with strap 3, washerwith gasket 4, spindel 6 with
spring 7, cup diaphragm 8 ( Fig.1).
INFLATION MODE : valve is closed with gasket 4 tight . To move the valve

ATTENTION !
1. Overinating of your boat, when the air pressure is
more than nominal, sufciently decreases the boat life time.
2. The valves are airtight just in case they are closed with the caps
tight.
3. The tube is airtight in case it keeps its form for 8 hours at least.

MAINTENANCE
Main conditions of long service life is right and careful service.
Avoid excessive increasing of pressure in the board,
especially from heating by the sun rays.
After exploitation take off sand and dirt from boat surface,
and carefully dry it.
Avoid the water getting into the chambers. If a fuel or an oil
/ gas gets to the boat surface it is necessary to wash the soiling place
by soap water as soon as possible and dry.
Pay attention to the condition of bottom and seat surfaces. If
the coating is destroyed it is necessary to dry this element and restore
the defend ply.
After the season prepare the boat to winter keeping. Clean
boat surface from sand and dirt and make the necessary repairs, if
damages take place. If it is possible, keep the boat in the open and
slightly pumped state in air temperature 0-25°C. The boat must be
protected from the sun rays.
Insignicant boat repairing (eliminating the board punctures
or cuts) you may carry out by yourself. In this case use the coated
fabric patches from the complete set. Ask your dealer for the correct
type of glue you may use for the repair.
In case if sufcient damagesof hull, tube body, partitions or
seams it is recommended to apply for professional repair in authorised
service station.
OPERATING REGULATIONS
Dear user,
We thank your for your purchase and do hope that you will have a
great fun of it. However, to make your joy and pleasure complete, we
would request you to read carefully and observe the directions and
recommendations specied below.
IT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN :
to handle the boat in the state of intoxication and without individual
rescue means being used (life-saving belts, jackets, etc.)
IT IS FORBIDDEN :
- to overload the boat above the design weight-carrying
capacity;
- to use an outboard engine of power exceeding the
maximum allowable value;
- to bring the tube pressure up to the value exceeding the
rated one ( 0.15 bar/ 2.15 psi );
- to drag the boat across a rough surface.
Danger of usage of engine having insufcient or
excessive power
According to the safety regulations, each inatable boat should be
furnished with an outboard engine having the maximum allowable
power. You will nd the data on the maximum allowable power of the
engine on the manufacturer’s plate with the designation of the model
type inscribed thereon. The plate is xed in the afterbody of the boat.
However, your should choose the engine power within the allowable
range so as to ensure that you may safely reach the shore when
heading into the wind or into the current.

SILVER LINE S550

The boat will retain an adequate oatability and will not keel over
only provided that the load is arranged reasonably. Therefore,do not
accommodate all passengers on the same side of the boat. Arrange
the cargo to be carried uniformly inside the boat, all items being
reliable secured on the bottomof the boat. All passengers should be
accommodated inside the boat.
The occupied seats should not be left throughout the entire sail ing
time. When sailing with an outboard engine the steersman should
shift his body forward in the course of acceleration to prevent the boat
forebody from raising under the force of upthrust waves.
Presence of sharp and pricking objects on
board
Despite the strong shell of the boat we are recommended to handle
sharp and pricking objects being on board with care. For example, it
concerns a knife blade, sh-hook point, etc.
Rocky shore, mole, shoals (for example, sand banks,
coral reefs, rocks)
Approach rocky shores, shoals, moles, etc. carefully to avoid
damages to the boat. It is strictly prohibited to drag the boat across
rough surfaces (shingle, rocks, concrete, etc.).
Check at navigation
In case of prolonged navigation with the use of an outboard engine,
regularly check to ensure that the engine is reliably attached to the
boat. If the engine was attached carelessly the attachment may work
loose under the action of vibration.
Besides, check air chambers pressure at regular intervals, since the
pressure may vary under the effects of outside air temperature and
atmospheric pressure variations.
Never forget to monitor regularly the quantity of fuel in the fuel tank.
Keep always in mind that the quantity of fuel should be sufcient for
you to sail to your nal destination.
Observation of local shipping regulations
For each particular water area the local shipping regulations
are in force. You may apply for information to the appropriate water
transport and shipping directorate, as well as to the water police.
Proper usage of boat equipment and accessories
Use the boat equipment and accessories only on their direct purpose to
ensure reliable service.
Availability of Oars
Even when sailing with an outboard engine you should always have the
oars available with you so that you were able to reach the shore without
outside assistance in case of any damage to the boat.
Usage of emergency stop switch
On your request any outboard engine seller may provide your engine
with the emergency stop switch. During navigation the switch should be
connected to the wrist of your hand by means of a cord. In case you fall
overboard, even if being a steersman, the switch will cut out the engine
and the propeller. This arrangement will enable you to avoid any traumas
and to reach the boat.
Prevention of damages caused by electrolyte or fuel
leakages
Take all possible precautions against penetration of fuel or
electrolyte from the storage battery into the inatable boat. If it does
happen wash thoroughly the fouled spots with water.
Cargo arrangement and stowing, attachment of items and
prevention of falling overboard
You should be always sure that the number of people on board never
exceeds that specied in the user’s manual or on the manufacturer’s
plate provided on the transom.

SILVER LINE S550
18
Availability of rescue means (life-saving
jackets, distress signals, spare parts)
If you are planning to go beyond the protected water areas you should
provide all passengers on board with life-saving jackets under strong
wind and heavy seaways conditions. Those passengers who cannot
swim should always carry the life-saving jackets while on board! It is
also recommended to keep constantly distress signal means on board.
Towing
At towing the towing rope length should not be at least 3 lengths of the
boat, the rope being secured to both boats in a manner ensuring its
immediately, single-motion release. The steersman of the towed boat
should be assisted by another crew member to monitor the process of
towing. In this case, certain communication gestures should be agreed
upon beforehand.
Damage to one of air chambers
The inatable boat is designed to provide an adequate stability
in case of the complete damage to one the air chambers (balloon
compartments) at the expense of the remaining air chambers and the
hull. Thanks to it, you will be able to reach safely the nearest shore.
Reduce the speed and shift your body to the undamaged part of the
boat. Watch changes in stability. After this immediately head for the
nearest shore. To prevent penetration of water into the boat, pull the
shell of the damaged air chambers upwards.
Anchor and mooring fast fastening
Fix the anchor and towing ropes in the forebody of the boat to the front
towing ring. Fix the back spring on the transom via special holes.
Danger of currents and wind
Before navigation of the boat in unfamiliar waters make detail inquiries
about local conditions and regulations! Currents, wind, shoals, rising
and falling tides, as well as weather variations may imply serious
danger!
In emergency stay in boat
In any unexpected situation (engine failure, boat damage, etc.) do not
ever leave the boat provided it is still aoat. Even if you believe that
the shore is just nearby stay in the boat, since you will be looked for
in this particular place and, most probably, will be found. Should the
boat become partially ooded throw heavy objects (batteries, fuel tank,
engine) overboard to ensure additional oatability.
The “GRAND” Company employees would like to wish you a pleasant
and safe leisure time!
