Intended use

This product has been developed for private use. Design Category D “sheltered waters”: Designed for voyages in sheltered coastal waters, small bays, small lakes, narrow rivers, and canals where conditions up to and including wind force 4 and significant wave heights up to and including 0.3m can be experienced, with occasional waves of 0.5m maximum height, for example from passing vessels.

Safety instructions

The product is a water sports equip-ment item that is certified and safe. We nevertheless ask you to adhere to the following rules and regulations.

Danger to life!

Never leave children unsupervised with the packaging material. Risk of suffocation.
Never let children play with the product without supervision.

Risk of injury!

Beware of offshore winds!
Beware of offshore currents!
Make sure that people and cargo are always distributed evenly in the boat to avoid the risk of capsizing.
Pay attention to the information on the nameplate, the permissible load capacity and number of people, as well as the warning instructions.
Always comply with local navigation regula-tions.
Do not bring any sharp or pointed objects with you.
The product should be protected against contact with any questionable liquids such as acids. These can cause irreparable damage.
Protect the product from heat and open flame! Be careful with lit cigarettes!
To avoid damage to the hull, make sure that you do not run onto rocky ground.
Should damage occur to one of the four air chambers when you are on the water, do not under any circumstances abandon the product. The buoyancy of the three intact air chambers will be sufficient to keep the product safely above water.
Under no circumstances may the product be transported on the vehicle when inflated.
Never leave the product in the water unoccupied. It will drift away faster than it can be reached by swimming.
Do not make any technical modifications to the product. Modifications of any kind put the operation of the product at risk.
Never use the product under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medications.
Never overestimate your strength and when paddling conserve the strength in your muscles in such a way that you can easily paddle back again over the distance you have covered. Stay in sheltered shore areas within 300m and beware of changing winds and currents that may make it significantly harder for you to navigate.

WARNING!
Your caution and self-awareness when on the water are extremely important. Never overestimate your strength and navigational skills! Always stay close to shore! Be aware of what the weather conditions are and pay attention to storm warnings or any flares!

WARNING!
Always comply with the safety regulations and the current local provisions for lakes and open bodies of water, and for your safety always wear a certified life jacket.

WARNING!
Avoid using sunscreen and skin care products containing alcohol. Sunscreen and skin care products containing alcohol can cause the color coating of this PVC inflatable product to peel. This can lead to stains on your body, your clothing, and other objects that come into contact.

WARNING!
If someone falls overboard they should always climb back on board via the bow or the stern because there is a high risk of capsizing when trying to board from the sides.

Avoiding material damage!

All inflatable products are susceptible to cold. For this reason never unfold and inflate the product at a temperature lower than 15°C!
In the event that the air pressure increases in the hot sun, it must be balanced accordingly by letting out air.
Make sure that the product, especially when inflated, does not come into contact with stones, gravel, or sharp objects and does not rub or scrape against anything as this can cause damage to the product.
Use only the correct pump adapters to insert into the safety valves. The valves might otherwise be damaged.
Do not over-inflate because you then risk tearing open the welded seams. Close the valves properly after inflating.
Avoid contact with sharp-edged, hot, pointed or dangerous objects.

Assembly

Assembly should always be performed by two people because of the product’s size. Follow the individual assembly steps in the order indicated. If the correct sequence for inflating the air chambers is not followed, the pressure may be distributed unevenly as a result. This can cause the product to become unstable and affect its handling characteristics.

Remove the product (1) and all accessories from the carrying bag (9).
Unroll the product and spread it out on a flat, clean surface.
- When assembling the product for the second and subsequent times, you should inspect for any possible damage, holes, and tears and seal these as described in the section “Repairs”. Once you are on the water it is no longer possible to remedy any damage.
- Do not over-inflate the air chambers so as not to over-stretch the plastic foil.

Inflation

WARNING!

Follow the correct sequence when inflating the air chambers.
The recommended operating pressure for all air chambers is 0.1bar (1.5psi).
Inflate the air chambers to the nominal pressure indicated on the product to avoid over-inflating or bursting.
To check the air pressure use a suitable pressure gauge (not supplied).
Avoid inflating the air chambers too much because there is the risk of over-stretching the welded seams or even tearing them open.
Do not use a compressor or compressed air bottle to inflate the product. This can lead to damage to the product.
Always inflate all air chambers fully.

Inflate the air chambers in the following sequence:

A: Bottom chamber seat with plug valve
