  • Page 17: Distribution Of Load

    SAFETY The craft manufacturer guarantees that the boat meets all safety criteria during normal operating conditions. However, the person responsible for operating the craft must always keep in mind that the safety of the craft and crew should be their priority at all times and that conditions on the water can change suddenly with little prior notice.
  • Page 18 SAFETY In case of an accident, do not panic and reassure passengers.  Be aware that your boat, even if damaged, may provide the best shelter and facilitate your rescue. Never leave the boat whilst it remains afloat. Remember that an inflatable boat, even when full of water, is virtually unsinkable.

  • Page 19: Risk Of Fire Or Explosion

    SAFETY RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION Pay particular attention to the fact that a fuel tank and electrical devices are installed on your boat. This means that there is a risk of explosion or fire caused, for example, by a spark. Be careful and check systems regularly with a view to identifying leaks or corrosion in the fuel tank and possible damage to the electrical wiring.
  • Page 20 SAFETY NEVER OBSTRUCT ACCESS TO PORTABLE EXTINGUISHER. NEVER MODIFY ANY OF THE CRAFT’S SYSTEM UNLESS COMPETENT TO DO SO. NEVER FILL ANY FUEL TANK WHEN ENGINE IS RUNNING. NEVER SMOKE WHILE HANDLING FUEL. AVOID CONTACT OF FLAMMABLE MATERIALS WITH HOT ENGINE PARTS.
  • Page 21 SAFETY NEVER DELIBERATELY OR INADVERTENTLY BLOCK VENTILATION OF FIXED PETROL TANK AND BATTERY COMPARTMENTS. NEVER STORE PETROL CONTAINERS OR EQUIPMENT CONTAINING PETROL IN ANY AREA NOT DESIGNATED FOR THE SPECIFIC STORAGE OF PETROL. CHECK FOR FUEL AND GAS VAPOURS OR FUEL LEAKS AT REGULAR INTERVALS AND BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE.
  • Page 22 SAFETY VENTILATION OF PETROL TANK COMPARTMENT Petrol tank compartment has a natural ventilation system. The fuel tank compartment is ventilated by the natural flow of air through ventilation openings (figs. 1 and 2) to and from the atmosphere. These openings are located at the bow locker and rear dry storage compartments. Fig.

  • Page 41: Operating The Craft

    OPERATING THE CRAFT 4. OPERATING THE CRAFT TUBE INFLATION Inflation valve. A boat is equipped with a valve as shown in figure 5. Fig 5. Inflation valve. To inflate the tube chamber, first open the valve cap by turning it about half a turn counter clockwise (fig.
  • Page 42 OPERATING THE CRAFT Valve cap Strap Spindle a) The valve is closed b) The valve is open Fig. 6. Design of the inflation valve. When the spindle is in the normal (closed) position, the valve operates as a check valve and opens when air is pumped into the tube.
  • Page 43 OPERATING THE CRAFT To inflate the tube chambers, use the foot pump (fig.7) supplied. Fig. 7. Foot pump Fig. 8. Special adapter Insert the end of the hose into the inflation valve using one of the adapters supplied (fig. 8). Make sure the adaptor makes an air-tight connection with the valve and inflate using foot pump.
  • Page 44 OPERATING THE CRAFT Begin the inflation procedure according to the sequence shown in figure 9. Initially, partially inflate each chamber (approx. 0.1 bar (1.45 psi) then repeat the procedure inflating each chamber to its nominal pressure, 0.15 bar (2.15 psi). The nominal pressure is 0,15 bar (2,15 psi).
  • Page 45 OPERATING THE CRAFT Valve caps protect the valves from accidental opening, provide a secondary seal and protect the valves from contamination. The valves require little maintenance. Keep them clean using a standard household cleaner. Remember that changes in ambient temperature will change the inflation pressure within the tube.

  • Page 46: Overpressure Valve (If Fitted)

    OPERATING THE CRAFT OVERPRESSURE VALVE (IF FITTED) Overpressure valves can be fitted to buoyancy tubes as shown in figures 10. It serves to protect the tube from over inflation and excess pressure build up due to solar heat. Without strainer With filter cap Fig.

  • Page 47: Motor Installation

    OPERATING THE CRAFT MOTOR INSTALLATION Information about motor trim is given for reference purposes only. The engine manufacturer’s dealer or authorized agent should undertake installation of the motor on your boat. The optimum position is with the propeller axis parallel with the water. Fig.
  • Page 48 OPERATING THE CRAFT If the motor is tilted too far outwards from the transom, the boat will tend to porpoise. Fig. 12. Trim up. If the motor is tilted too far inwards towards the transom the boat will travel bow down. Fig.13.

  • Page 49: Fueling

    OPERATING THE CRAFT FUELING The fuel system consists of a fuel tank (the volume is given in the technical data sheet), sender and fuel level gauge (on the steering console), filler neck and fuel cap. Fuel cap Fig. 14. The location of the fuel cap on the rear deck. BEFORE FUELING.

  • Page 50: While Fueling

    OPERATING THE CRAFT WHILE FUELING  Keep hose nozzle in contact with the filler pipe to provide a ground against static sparks.  Fill the tank slowly to avoid danger of spillage.  Do not overfill the tank. Leave some room for the fuel to expand. In hot conditions fill the tank to about 80% of its maximum capacity.

  • Page 51: Engine Start&Stop

    OPERATING THE CRAFT USING POOR QUALITY OR UNSUITABLE FUEL CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO YOUR ENGINE! IT IS PREFERABLE NOT TO STORE UNUSED FUEL FOR LONG PERIODS IN THE FUEL TANK AND FUEL SYSTEM AS THIS CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO FUEL LINES, PUMPS AND FILTERS. ENGINE START&STOP Refer to the engine manufacturer’s manual for correct procedures before using the engine.
