Assembly
Due to the size of the item, the assem-
bly should always be carried out by
two adults. Please adhere to the indivi-
dual steps of assembly in the stipulated
order.
This especially applies for the inflating
of the three air chambers as otherwise
irregular pressure distribution may oc-
cur, which will lead to instability of the
bathing boat and can lead to impair-
ments of its handling characteristics.
1 . Choose a flat and clean surface with enough
space to unpack and unfold the bathing boat .
Make sure that all parts are available and are in
good order and condition .
2 . Spread out the boat hull . Starting with the
second assembly of the bathing boat, check for
possible damages, holes or tears and seal these
as described below . Possible damages cannot
be repaired once you are on the water .
Assembly of the paddles
(Ill. E , H )
Important!
While using the boat on the water,
the paddles must not detach from the
paddle-locks, but must be secured with
paddle-locks to avoid loosening!
• Connect the two paddle pipes whereby the
press studs must audibly and visibly snap in
properly . Push the end of the pipe through the
paddle lock and secure the paddle by sliding
on the drip-ring .
Repeat the procedure for the second paddle
for the other side of the boat .
Assembling the Screw Valve
(Ill. F )
The chambers / of the bathing boat are
equipped with a threaded opening for the
supplied screw-on-valves . Pull the sling of
the vent over the threaded opening in such
a way that they securely lie on the intended
groove . This procedure requires a bit of tact and
patience, it must however be done diligently so
that a later loosening and subsequent opening
of the valve is avoided .
Now screw the base clockwise into the
threaded opening .
Inflating
CAUTION!
• Adhere to the correct sequence when inflating
the air chambers .
• The recommended operating pressure is
0 .04 bar (= 40 mbar = 0 .58 psi) .
• Avoid over-inflating the air chambers as
otherwise there is a risk that the welded joints
may tear or be overstretched .
• Make use of standard foot pumps or piston
pumps with corresponding attachments and if
necessary a manometer .
• Do not make use of compressors or
compressed air bottles for inflating the item .
This can cause damages to the item .
• Always inflate all air chambers completely!
Inflation Sequence (
Ill
.
G
)
Always check the air pressure after
inflating an air chamber as described
on page 8 “Monitoring the Operating
Pressure”.
Inflate the air chambers in the following se-
quence:
1. Safety chamber with
screw-on-valve
2. Garret with plug-valve
3. Flotation chamber with
screw-on-valve
