3.2 inflaTion of Tube and keel

Remove any sharp objects from flat surface where boat will be assembled. 
To inflate the boat, roll the boat out on the floor. If the boat is unpacked, 

check if all parts are present. Check that the valves are closed. This can be 

done by putting your finger in the valve, push the little colored knob in, and 

turn to the right one stroke. If the knob jumps up a little it is possible get air 

into the boat. (To let air out of the boat you have to turn the knob). Get your 
delivered pump. Push the nozzle, end piece on the valve and turn right. The 

pump will tighten on the valve. Put enough air in the boat to give the boat 

some form. All chambers should be inflated equally avoid damage to the 

bulkheads that separate the chambers.

3.3. order of inflaTion of Tubes

CLOSE THE DIAPHRAGM OF KEEL’S VALVE BEFORE INFLATING

Inflate the boat in the following order:

side chambers

1. 

front chambers (if applicable)

2. 

floor chamber (if applicable)

3. 

keel chamber (if applicable). 

4. 

ALWAYS INFLATE THE KEEL CHAMBER LAST.

CAUTION:

 Over-inflation can cause structural damage to your boat. 

Never surpass these values!

The maximum inflation pressure for the body is 

0.25 bar = 3.6 psi

The maximum inflation pressure for the keel is 

0.35 bar = 5 psi

The maximum inflation pressure for the  floor is 

0.7 bar = 10 psi

.

CAUTION:

 

DO NOT 

use mechanical compressors to inflate your 

boat. Overinflation may result in ruptured seams and/or bulkheads. 

The pump that is delivered gives exactly the right pressure to your 
boat.

3.4 floor

BUSH boats which are equipped with an inflatable or a non-inflatable floor 
must be operated with these floors properly installed before use. Using the 
boat without the provided floors unsafe, uncomfortable and may result in 

damage to the boat. 

3.5 floorboard insTallaTion

Place the front section (bow board 1) of the floorboard as far in the front 

• 

of  the  boat  as  possible.  Make  sure  the  hole  in  the  bottom  is  straight 

above the valve of the keel section.

Place part two into the boat. Put the two parts of the floorboard “in line”.

• 

Insert the back section under transom holders.

• 

Push down the two parts to the bottom of the boat.

• 

The floorboards will be in a level position.
