3. Max. air pressure: The correct pressure for this item is : 0.06 bar (= 60 mbar). Do not exceed it. Your boat
features a SEVYTEST pressure indicator which indicates the proper pressure: First inflate the safety chamber (see
figure # 1) until "+" marking and then the main chamber (see figure # 1) until "-" marking is reached. Overpressure:
deflate until you reach the recommended pressure. Drop of pressure: inflate again slightly. N.B.: PVC material
extending under the inflation pressure, after many inflations the Sevytest gauge may not return to its initial position
but it still will allow you to check that the gauge remains within the recommended zone.
If you leave your product exposed to the hot sun check the pressure and deflate it slightly, otherwise the
material might be overstretched.
The ambient temperature affects the tube's internal pressure: a variation of 1°C causes a variation of the pressure in
the tube of +/- 4 mbar.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

 Use the boat only in protected shore-zones, avoid open water and streams with strong currents.
 BEWARE OF OFFSHORE WINDS AND CURRENTS!
 Get informed on local regulations and hazards related to water activities and boat operation.
 Before using the product, please check it carefully.
 A bad distribution of the load can destabilize the boat and may result in a loss of control.
 Always wear a Personal Flotation Device approved by proper authorities.
 Do not exceed the authorized number of persons or weight.
 Avoid all contact between the buoyancy tubes and sharp objects or aggressive liquids (such as acid).
 This product is equipped with ropes. Keep the ropes away from children.
 Must not be towed by another boat or any other vehicle.
N.B.: If, after an accident, a compartment deflates, bring it inside the boat and return at reduced speed. The boat is kept
E
over water by the security system and by the strong buoyancy.

1. Remove oars/paddles and other accessories.

2. To deflate unscrew the valve insert. Open the valve(s) cap and pull to extend out, allowing air to escape.
I
3. Clean and check the item as well as all the accessories after each use. Rinse it thoroughly making sure to remove
S
any residues of salt if used in salt water. Use a mild soapy solution, do not use detergents or any type of silicone-
H
based products. Make sure that the product is completely dry before putting it away.
4. Fold the sides into the middle, then roll it up from the opposite end of the valves (so remaining air can escape from
the valves); start again if you feel there is still some air in the tubes.
5. When fully deflated, close the valves.
6. When storing your inflatable, keep it in a clean and dry place that is not affected from major variations in temperature
and other damaging factors. You may store it deflated and rolled up in a bag or assembled and lightly inflated. Store
it away from rodents.
Water will enter between the outer hull and inside chambers, this is O.K; however, whenever you take this
item out of the water and deflate it, allow for it to air out and dry, neither the skin/hull or the inside chambers
will suffer from water damage, but stagnant water could cause mildew and foul odor.
