MIVARDI M-BOAT 160 A Boat

The Mivardi M‑BOAT
boats will certainly exceed your expectations with their quality and innovative features. They are an excellent helper, both for fishermen and for other fans of staying by the water. The boats are made of high-quality laminated and lightweight PVC made in Korea with high resistance to abrasion and mechanical damage. Thanks to the use of this quality material, the boats are very easy to handle. The boats are equipped with valves with a safety catch for easy inflation. Of course, there are three separate inflatable chambers for crew safety. Each boat comes with a special foot pump for quick, easy inflation and deflation of the boat, folding aluminium oars, carrying handles, a perimeter rope, variable benches, a transport bag and a set for minor repairs.
Read this owner’s manual carefully before using the boat. Follow all safety instructions in the manual. Keep the manual in a dry and safe place. We recommend beginners to take the appropriate boating courses.

Boat inflation procedure and floor installation

1. Spread the boat on a flat surface without sharp objects.
2. Use the included foot air pump to inflate the boat.
3. Inflate the boat to approx. 50%.
4. Inflate the floor separately – it is necessary to make every effort and inflate the floor very firmly.
5. Insert the floor into the boat and level it evenly to the edges.
6. Insert the bench in the desired location.
7. Inflate the boat and check the valves for air leaks.
8. Always close the valves with the cover.

Notice!
The pressure in the boat’s chambers may increase due to an increase in ambient temperature, for example when the boat is pulled out of the water into direct sunlight. Increasing the pressure above the operating pressure limit can cause damage to the boat. If necessary, reduce the pressure in the chambers by releasing air. Check the air pressure continuously.

To deflate the boat and the floor

1. Place the boat on a flat surface without sharp objects.
2. Unscrew the caps from the valve.
3. Deflate the boat by pressing the valve.
4. Drop and remove the inflatable floor.
5. Use a foot pump for complete deflating – it is necessary to screw the hose into the hole of the air drain pump.
6. Roll up the boat and store it in a dry place out of direct sunlight.

Boat trip
The boat is designed for navigation on inland waterways.

Warning:
Before sailing, make sure that the river, water area or area in which you intend to move is not subject to any special provisions or prohibitions and orders that must be followed. When sailing, the user of the vessel is obliged to comply with local laws, rules, ordinances and regulations on operation on the waterway. A person under the age of 15 may not drive a motorised vessel. The boat is not intended to be towed behind a motor boat, except for emergency towing.
The boat must not be overloaded or overstressed. Secure sharp or pointed objects inside the boat so that they cannot damage the air chambers. The cargo and the persons in the boat must be evenly distributed.
On large bodies of water (sea, lakes) watch out for winds blowing from the shore and water currents! There is a risk of non‑ return! The boat must not be used in difficult conditions, such as reduced visibility (night, fog, rain)!

We recommend storing the boat in an inflated state, so there is no stress on the material and joints. If you are not able to store the boat in this way, please pay attention to the following instructions. Thoroughly clean and dry the boat before storage. If the boat has been used at sea, rinse it thoroughly with fresh water. Use environmentally friendly products for cleaning. The surface of the boat should be treated with a special UV protection agent. Remove all solid sharp parts from the boat. Store the boat packed in a protective bag in a dry place. Do not load the boat from above. When handling the boat, do not drag it on the surface, you can pierce it in places of sharp storage or under valves. The risk of damage during handling increases at temperatures below 0° C.

Protect the stored boat from rodents. The surface of the boat does not benefit from the action of solvents (petrol, toluene, etc.) and synthetic oils. During long‑term storage, we recommend occasionally inflating the boat for 24 hours to prevent it from lying down. Careful maintenance and care will increase the life of your boat.

Boat repair

Using the included minor repair kit, you can self-repair minor defects:

1. Mark the damaged area and prepare a patch that exceeds the damage of min. 3 cm on all sides.
