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) Lifting OPEN-CLOSE lever: in
upper position the valve is OPEN
and water can get out of the cockpit,
in lower position the valve is
CLOSED and water passage is
blocked
b) one-way drain valve with petal
prevent the water coming into the
cockpit.
Close your valve when driving, and
open your valve to drain the boat if
you discover any water collection in
the cockpit.

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.

BOAT ASSEMBLING
Step 1:
Open the
boat
Step 2:
Insert flooring
Step 3:
Inflate the
boat
Step 4:
Install the
seats
Step 5:
Install the
oars
Step 6:
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.
- insert floorboard #1 to the front of the boat and position the
inflatable keel placing the keel inflation valve in the middle of
the opening in floorboard,
- insert the rear floorboard and make sure it goes under the
upper transom stops,
- insert other floorboards, carefully centering them,
- put two last floorboards like A-frame. Press the upper angle
and push it down to make the floorboards flat,
- insert side beams and make sure that they are sitting straight
and tight
- 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 tube rear compartments first
up to pressure
slightly below nominal,
and the bow compartment the last
up to the nominal pressure (0.2 bar/ 3 psi). 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.
- For models F240A-F330A with high-pressure air decks :
switch the mode of your foot pump to high pressure mode and
inflate the airdeck up to nominal pressure (0.6 bar/ 9 psi)
- Inflate the inflatable keel up to nominal pressure, same as in
inflatable tube.
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.
