Assembly
Please follow the step-by-step instruc-
tions in the order given. Failure to inflate
the three air chambers in the correct or-
der may result in an uneven distribution
of pressure. This can cause the dinghy to
be unstable, and thus impair its handling
characteristics.
• Due to its size, the item should always be
assembled by two adults.
• Find a clean, level area with sufficient room to
accommodate the fully unfolded dinghy. Check
to make sure that all the parts are to hand and
in perfect condition.
• When assembling the dinghy for the second
and subsequent times, check for any damage,
holes or tears and seal them as described in the
section entitled "Repairs". Once you are on the
water, it is too late to repair any damage.
• Do not over-inflate the air chambers as this will
overstretch the PVC.
• Make sure that the inflated dinghy does not
come into contact with stones or other sharp
objects that can damage it.

1. Pull the ring (4a) of the valve over the threaded
hole (1a) so that it sits neatly in the groove.
2. Screw the base (4b) clockwise into the thread-
ed hole.
Inflating
CAUTION!
• Follow the correct order when inflating the air
chambers.
• The recommended operating pressure is
0.04bar (= 40mbar = 0.58psi).
• Avoid over-inflating the air chambers – other-
wise you risk overstretching or even splitting the
seams.
• To inflate the dinghy, use a commercially avail-
able foot pump or double stroke piston pump
with the appropriate attachments and pressure
gauge if necessary.

• Do not use a compressor or compressed air
canister to inflate the item.
This can damage the item.
• Always inflate each chamber fully.
Inflating order
Inflate the air chambers in the following order:
1. - Safety chamber with screw-on valve
2. - Floor chamber with stopper valve
3. - Buoyancy chamber with screw-on valve
Note: The air chambers on the dinghy are
marked with their respective numbers (
(Fig. F).
Inflating the air chambers
After inflating an air chamber, always
check the air pressure as described in
the section "Regulating the operating
pressure".
