Page 13: Floorboard Installation
Instructions to install the floorboard in the foldables models Slatted floor : When you purchase a new slatted floor tender from 3D Tender, the floor boards are already in- stalled in the boat bottom. To prepare your boat, you only need to inflate your tube as described in the operation section of this manual. - Page 14 Inflatable floor : This is a flat inflatable floor with eventually a separate inflatable keel and a thrust board. Please refer to the instruction below to install the floor. - The keel (B) is already a stuck to the bottom when the boat is packed. Do not move the keel. Install the thrust board (A) through the belt on the downside of the floor.
-
Page 15: Transporting
Aluminium floor : - Place part 1 as far in the front of the boat as possible. Make sure the hole in the deck is aligned with the valve of the keel. - Place part 2 into the boat. Put the two parts of floorboard in line. - Take Part 3, eventually Part 4, and make a bridge with Part 2 / Part 3. -
Page 16: Operation
OPERATION : Pre-operation check list : - Check the pressure level in each chamber using a pressure gauge. Recommended working pres- sure is displayed on manufacturer’s plate. - Make sure the outboard motor is securely fastened to the transom. - Make sure the drain plug is fully functional. - Check fuel tank level and make sure it suits you plan. - Page 17 Inflate each chamber in turn, do not inflate a chamber completely then move on to the next one. Start with the rear chambers. repeat procedure until all chambers are evenly inflated to the recommended working pressure. Use air gauge to measure the tube pressure. If yoi do not have any gauge, firmy press the tube with one finger, if it goes down by about 10mm, the tube pressure is correct.

Page 18: Load Distribution
Caution Keep the drain open when the boat is kept outside of the water. The rain water could fill the boat and create stress and damage. Danger Do not open the drain plug when the boat is afloat but not in motion. Load distribution Please refer to the maximum number of passengers and load capacity of the boat in this manual or on the manufacturer’s plate. - Page 19 Bow down, too much trim-in Bow up, too much trim-out Right position Towing Your boat can be towed using the towing eye located at the bow. The boat must be empty when towed. Remove outboard motor, fuel tank and equipment. No passenger should be aboard. The boat should be towed at low speed.
- Page 20 3 - Please note that towed dinghies need to be constantly monitored and especially at night. 4 - When a dinghy is towed, the conditions may vary quite dramatically so the responsability for its security rests entirely with the skipper. Warning No passenger should be onboard.

Page 21: Outboard Motor
OUTBOARD MOTOR : Install the outboard motor on the transom so that it is positionned as close to the center as possible. Tighten the transom clamp screws evenly and securely. Occasionally check the clamp screws for tighness during operation of the outboard motor because they could become loose due to engine vibration. - Page 22 - Repairs should, however, be undertaken in a well ventilated area Repair PVC boat : 3D Tender boats that haves tubes constructed with PVC fabrics require PU based adhesive and RC hardener. Acetone solvant is recommended to prepare the surface before gluing. Use only recommended solvant and adhesive.
