NOTE: 

Drawings for illustration purpose only. Not to scale.

Inflatable seats are not included with the following boat size: 1.94m x 1.1m (76’’ x 43’’); 2.28m x 1.21m (90’’ x 48’’).

Assembling of the boat

• Spread the boat on a level and even ground.           

• Inflate the air chambers with a fitting-boat-pump.

• Never use compressed air!

• Inflate only as far that after inflating one can see some folding at the welding-seams. After inflation compare the 

  height of the printed scale on the product with the attached scale to make sure reach the height shown in the right list.

  Inflate bottom chamber and other accessories such as seat until it is stiff to the touch but NOT hard. DO NOT OVER   

  INFLATE.

• Take care that the boat has got the correct pressure. Pay attention to the both pressure scales on the type-plate and 

  on the inside of the boat. Check after inflating of the boat with the enclosed scale, if the both printed scales on the 

  boat are identically with the enclosed scale. As soon as both scales are identically, the boat is inflated in a correct 

  way. If they are not identically, regulate the air by inflating or deflating. After you have inflated all air-chambers, check 

  the pressure of all air chambers finally once again due to safety reason, because while inflating the other air 

  chambers, the pressure of the first could change again. Check the pressure from time to time, because in the sun the 

  pressure can grow and it must be balanced then to correct one. Use the enclosed rope and slip it through the 

  available grommets. Then make a strong knot (as shown on the enclosed drawing).

Boat Design Category D-“SHELTERED WATERS”: Designed for voyages on sheltered coastal waters, small bays, 

small lakes, rivers and canals when conditions up to, and including, wind force 4 and significant wave heights up to, 

and including, 0.3 m may be experienced, with occasional waves of 0.5 m maximum height, for example from passing 

vessels.

How to install safety rope:

Please put safety rope through rope grommets and all round holes on tow handle in turn, to 

make safety rope surround each side of inflatable boat, then fasten safety rope.

Caution:

1. Safety rope must go through rope grommets and all round holes of tow handle in a 

    correct way.

2. Please carefully check whether safety rope is in perfect condition and fastened tightly 

    prior to each use.

Outboard Motor Installation (only for #61065; #61068; #61066)

1. With the boat fully inflated and in the water, attach your outboard motor onto Engine Mount at the center of the 

    Transom.

2. Fix the motor in place with the Ropes through each hole on the transom.

3. Overpowering a boat can result in serious injury, death or boat damage. The maximum motor power to be used see     

    marking on the product.

    

Note:

 Read the instruction of outboard motor for correct installation and operation.

Repairs

1. If there is a leak, spray water onto the boat surface and look for air bubbles. Soapy water works well.

2. Clean and dry the damaged area. Apply a repair patch and smooth out any air bubbles.

3. If there are bigger defects at the boat, give the boat to a special repair-shop. Changes in the technical progress are 

    reserved.

 

Storage

1. Remove the Oars from the oarlocks.

    

Note: 

Keep all accessories for future use.

2. Carefully clean the boat using a mild soap with clean water.

    

Note: 

Do not use acetone, acid, and/or alkaline solutions.

3. Use a cloth to gently dry all surfaces. Do not dry the product in direct sunlight.

    

Note: 

Also, never dry with equipment such as electric blowers. Doing so will cause damage and shorten the boat’s 

    life span.

4. To deflate, open the screw valves pushing the control stem in and rotating until the valves stay open. Deflate all the 

    hull chambers at the same time so the air-pressure drops together. This will prevent damage from occurring to the 

    boat inner structures.

5. Next deflate the floor.

6. Fold the boat from front to back to remove additional air. You can also use a pump to drain any remaining air.

7. Store in a cool, dry place and out of children’s reach.

Inflation

1. Screw Valve

    Screw the Valve body (B) into the mounting (A) which is on the boat. Then 

    unscrew the Valve cap (C) and inflate the air chamber. After inflating you must 

    screw the valve cap (C) carefully and completely so that no air can deflate. 

    If over inflation occurs, unscrew the upper cap (C) and insert an object into 

    the Valve body (B) to open the valve. 

    Deflate until the desired pressure is obtained and then securely fasten the 

    upper cap (C).

2. Safety Valve

    Open the safety valve and inflate with an appropriate pump. Close the safety 

    valves after inflation and press them into the air chambers. 

    When inflating your boat, never let anyone sit, step or even lean on the boat 

    unless it is floating in the water. Never over-inflate or use high pressure air to 

    inflate.

Deflation

1. Screw Valve

    Unscrew the Valve body (B) from the mounting (A).The air can deflate quickly 

    out of the boat.

2. Safety Valve

    Pull out the safety valves from the air chambers. Open the safety valves and pinch the bottom to deflate.

    The proper inflation and deflation is essential for the long life of your boat.

WARNING

Follow all the Safety and Operating Instructions. If you don’t follow this instructions, it may cause overturn, explode the 

boat and causes to drowning.

  1. Do not exceed the maximum recommended number of persons. Regardless of the number of persons on board, 

      the total weight of persons and equipment must never exceed the maximum recommended load. Always use the 

      seats / seating spaces provided.

  2. When loading the craft, never exceed the maximum recommended load: Always load the craft carefully and 

      distribute loads appropriately to maintain design trim (approximately level). Avoid placing heavy weights high up.

      

NOTE: 

The maximum recommended load includes the weight of all persons onboard, all provisions and personal 

      effects, any equipment not included in the light craft mass, cargo (if any) and all consumable liquids(water, fuel, 

      etc.).

  3. When using the boat, life saving devices such as life jackets and buoys should be pre-inspected and used at all 

      times.

  4. Before every use, carefully inspect all boat components including air-chambers, grab ropes, oars, and air valves, to 

      ensure everything is in good condition and tightly secured. Please stop to repair if you find any damage.

  5. Buckets, water scoops and air pumps should always be available in case of air leakage or if the boat takes on 

      water.

  6. Passenger numbers and load weights shall by no means exceed specified capacities. Refer to the Technical 

      Specifications section of this manual to determine passenger numbers and load weights for your boat. Overweight 

      will cause overturn and drowning.

  7. Inflate according the numbered air chamber and rated pressure on the boat, or it will cause overinflation and boat 

      explosion. Exceeding the data given on the capacity plate may cause the craft to damage, overturn and lead to 

      drowning.

  8. Keep the boat balanced. Uneven distribution of persons or load in the boat may cause overturn the boat and 

      drowning.

  9. When the boat is in motion, all passengers must remain seated at all times to avoid going overboard.

10. Use the boat in protected shore-zones, up to 300m (984 feet). Be careful with natural factors such as wind, 

      tidewaters and tidal waves. 

BE AWARE OF OFFSHORE WINDS AND CURRENTS.

11. Be careful when landing on the shore. Sharp and rough objects such as rocks, cement, shells, glass, etc. may 

      puncture the boat.

12. If one chamber is punctured when the boat is in the water, it may be necessary to fully inflate the other air chamber 

      to prevent the boat from sinking.

13. To avoid damage do not drag the boat on rough surfaces.

14. Don’t leave the boat exposed to sun for long periods of time, as high temperatures shall give rise to air expansion, 

      which can cause irreparable damage.

15. Always wear a lifejacket!

16. It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to have at least on bucket/bailer on board, secured against accidental 

      loss.

17. Never transport the boat in inflated condition on the car. Be aware of the potential harmful effects of liquids such as 

      battery acid, oil, petrol. The liquids may damage your boat.

18. Be responsible, do not neglect the safety rules, this could jeopardize your life and the lives of others.

19. Follow these instructions to avoid drowning, paralysis or other serious injuries.

20. Know how to operate a boat. Check in your local area for information and/or training as needed. Inform yourself 

      about local regulations and dangers related to boating and/or other water activities.
