1. General information
1.1 Introduction
Dear Customer,
You are now the proud owner of a SUZUMAR inflatable boat. You have thus
acquired the assurance of quality, since our boats are manufactured in strict
conformity with safety regulations.
Each boat has a Craft Identification Number (CIN), which you will find on the
SERIAL NO plate [14 in drawing 1-1]on boat transom, carton marks and
warranty card. They should be same. Please note down the model and its HIN:
Model name and CIN has to be mentioned in every correspondence with us or
any authorised service station. It is only with this number that we will be able to
identify your boat and give you the relevant information and service.
The specifications and information contained in this manual will be modified
without prior notice and without obligation to update them.
Keep this manual safe onboard your boat. And, if the boat is transferred, make
sure to provide this manual together to the new owner.
If you have a problem, or if you have questions concerning your boat, contact
your supplier or any SUZUMAR dealer.
You have to read this manual carefully, ensuring that you understand and are
able to operate the boat accordingly and safely.
This publication should not be copied and/or published, even partially, without
prior written authorization.
1.2 Parts in package
Do not use a sharp cutter type tool or knife to open the packing carton. Doing so,
you may damage the boat or parts.
Your boat’s package should include parts shown in drawing 1-1, list 1-a and 1-b.

1.4 Pump
1.4.1 The pump accompanied with boat is specially designed to inflate your boat
to its ideal working pressure and can help you avoid all problems related to
over pressure.
1.4.2 The pump’s suction function allows you to completely deflate the boat, so
that it can be folded and packed easily.
1.4.3 High pressure pump is supplied for DS-220/260/310/350/420VIB.
A. Normal use
Up to 0.20 bar / 2.9psi
B. High pressure use
Up to 0.8 bar / 11.6psi
A. Normal inflation up to pressure 0.35bar.[ A ]
B. High pressure inflation up to 0.80 bar without cap. [ B ]
1.4.4 Normal pump for DS-225/230/265/290/320/360/390/420,
DS270/310RIB and DS-310/350/420FD .

1.5 Valve
Valve(s) is positioned on every tube, inflatable keel and inflatable floor. [17 in

1.5.1 Inflation [ a in 1-3 ]
Turn the yellow button in center anti-clockwise 1/4 round, make sure
that the button comes up a little.
1.5.2 Deflation [ b in 1-3 ]
Press the yellow button in center down and turn it clockwise 1/4 round
to lock it from coming up.
2. Assembly
2.1 General information
Always inflate your boat with the pump supplied or designated by your supplier.
Warning!: Do not use a compressed air source (ex.: air compressor)
to inflate the boat. Over inflation may cause the seams
and/or fabric themselves to rupture.
Always use a pressure gauge to confirm you are making right working
pressures.The maximum inflation pressures for each part are:
0.25 bar for all tube chambers.
0.35 bar for keel (DS-230/265/290/320/360/390/420).
0.60 bar for removable inflatable floor (DS-230/265).
0.80 bar for fixed floors (DS-220/260/310/350/420VIB).
Depending on climate and operating conditions, the pressure may require
monitoring during boat use to maintain a correct inflation.
If the boat is inflated at sea level (low altitude) and is later brought to a high
altitude (i.e. for use in a mountain lake), the air pressure must be reduced to
working pressure to prevent over-inflation.
A boat inflated for 2 to 3 days may lose pressure and require re-inflation to
correct operating pressure.
When inflating, maintain a pressure balance between air chambers on tube to
prevent damage.
2.2 Preparation
2.2.1 Remove any sharp objects from flat surface where the boat will be
assembled and inflated.
2.2.2 Unfold and spread out the inflatable tube flat.
2.2.3 Turn the yellow push-button of every valve anti-clockwise, make sure
that the yellow button comes up slightly. [a in 1-3]
2.2.4 If the boat has not been inflated for more than 6 months or at its first
use, inflate it by attaching the foot pump to each of the valves, one at a
time, and when pumping, ensure that a balance of pressure between
the chambers is maintained until the boat has been fully inflated to their
required working pressures. After that, push the yellow button to allow
approximately ½ of the air to escape. [b in 1-3]
