BOAT ASSEMBLING 

 

Step 1:  

Open the boat 

 
 
 
 
 

Step 2: 

Inflate the boat 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

Step 3: 

Install the seats 

 
 
 

Step 4: 

Install the oars 

 
 
 
 

 

Step 5: 

Install the motor 

 

-   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. 
 
-  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 
 
 
Unpack the seats and install them. For that 
slide the side seat railings into the seat slots 
on both sides. Always keep the seats at a 
distance not less than 100mm (4 inches) from 
the seat rail ends. 
 
 
- Assemble the oars: connect the oar blade to 
the oar tube and make sure that the fixation 
pin is locking the blade properly. 
- Insert oarlock stainless steel pin into the oar 
hole and secure it with the oarlock cup tight. 
- to store the oar in boat running position insert 
the oar tube into the oar holder and make sure 
that the oar is held there tight.  
 
 
Install the motor following your motor User’s 
Manual instructions.

VALVES OPERATION

 

 
 

a) 

INFLATION-DEFLATION VALVE

 operation: 

 
 

b) 

OVERPRESSURE VALVE

 operation: 

Overpressure valve protects the 
boat against unexpected pressure 
increase over the maximum working 
limit. In case of any tube pressure 
increase 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. 

 
 

c) 

DRAIN VALVE

 operation: 

Drain valve includes: a) expanding 
plug inside of the cockpit with 
opening-closing lever, b) one-way 
drain valve with elastic petal. To 
drain the water from the cockpit:  
- open and remove the expanding 
plug from the through-hull, 
-  start the engine and move the boat 
with speed 8-12 km/h until the water 
drains out of the boat completely, 
- put the expanding plug back and 
close it. 

 
 

 

 

WARNING

 

 

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. 

 

 

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.
