1. INTRODUCTION

 

 

 

The aim of this manual is to give guidance to owners about how to safely drive and make the most of this 
craft. This manual contains detailed information about the craft, standard and optional equipments and 
instructions about the use and maintenance of the craft. Before using your craft, please read carefully this 
manual to become familiar with it. 

 

If this is your first craft or you are not familiar yet with this model, for safety and confidence, try to obtain 
some experience about the use of the craft before setting out. Your supplier, Sports Federation or Yacht 
Club, can inform you about where to acquire the appropriate nautical training. 

 

 

THE DIRECTIONS POINTED OUT IN THIS MANUAL ARE VERY IMPORTANT 

FOR SAFETY. 
 
KEEP THIS MANUAL IN A SAFE PLACE AND GIVE IT TO THE NEW OWNER OF 
THE CRAFT ONCE YOU SELL IT.

 

 

2. INFLATION/DEFLATION

 

 

 

2.1 INFLATION PROCEDURE 

 

To inflate the craft, we recommend using the foot pump provided with the 
standard equipment. 
 

 

First of all, make sure plunger "A" of the valve is raised  
(CLOSED). If this is not so, push and twist to the right. 

 

 

Insert the tube of the foot pump into the valve, twisting the  
safety bayonet-type attachment to the right, this will prevent  
the tube separating from the valve when inflating. Once  
inflated, remove the tube by twisting to the left and replace  
valve cap. 

 

2.2 INFLATION NORMS 

 

Your craft has several independent compartments. Inflate each one, enough to give them some volume, 
without putting in too much pressure. Then, once the craft has adopted its shape, inflate each compartment 
to the full recommended pressure. 
 
 

Bar PSI 

Tube Pressure 

0.25 3.6 

 

If you do not have a pressure gauge, keep inflating until you notice a firm resistance when using the foot 
pump. Check the degree of rigidity of the inflated compartments, verifying their final pressure. If in doubt, 
it is advisable to keep the pressure low than to inflate in excess.
