6. With the lower side turned downward, fold the deflated sides inward. Roll the boat
starting from one end or the other. Put the deflated boat in the transportation bag
together with the pump and the other equipment.
2.3 Inflation valves
Orangemarine inflatable boats are provided with check valves for avoiding air leakages
when removing the pump hose or if the valve cap is accidentally unscrewed.
For blocking air, push in on the valve stem and rotate to closed position
(counterclockwise). The valve stem must step out.
For deflating the boat push in on the valve stem and rotate clockwise to dig it.
2.4 Mounting the motor
The signal plate on the boat and the compliance declaration indicate the maximum power
authorized for the motor to mount. Never pass this limit.
When you buy a motor, you must bear in mind its weight and the type of propeller shaft
it needs (long or short). The motor will be installed on the reinforced board provided for
this aim. Remember to tighten the fixing screws from time to time during the navigation
and to distribute the passengers evenly. The motor handbook will give you the
information needed to place and use it. Motor oil is highly inflammable and its inhalation
could cause sickness. Orangemarine declines its responsibility for deterioration of its
boats due to a bad use of the motor.
