Page 3 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS To identify the boat, turn to the APPENDIX: Technical specifications (pages A-1, A-2) Descriptions (pages A-3 to A-7) ASSEMBLE BOAT IN THE ORDER WE RECOMMEND AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. REFER TO THE PAGES INDICATED BELOW FOR STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS. ATTENTION Assembly instructions and storage Page Section...
Page 4 INFLATION SYSTEM The inflation system is composed of: INFLATION PUMP (a) adapter (b) hose tip (c) hose base (d) air outlet To inflate: Place the hose tip in the air outlet, To inflate correctly, the pump should be flat on the ground, The boat will inflate better if pumping is done at a regular rhythm.
Page 5 INFLATION SYSTEM (CON’T) INTERCOMMUNICATION VALVE (I/C VALVE) (1) valve base (2) I/C valve flywheel (3) valve insert (4) valve cap cover/pocket (5) valve cap To activate the valves in the inflation position: Rotate the I/C valve flywheel to the “inflation” zone (“red area”) at 12 o’clock, unscrew the cap, Screw the valve inserts into their bases, tighten...
Page 6 BOAT ASSEMBLY ASSEMBLE THE BOAT ON A SMOOTH CLEAN SURFACE ROLL UP FLOOR ASSEMBLY Illustrations in APPENDIX page A-8 The slatted floorboard decking, arranged in a folding mat (Fig. 1), is uniquely designed to enhance the rapid deployment concept, is completely removable and comes factory installed so that it rolls up normally with the fold of the boat.
Page 7 BOAT ASSEMBLY (CON’T) Place elements (3) and (4) in a pointed “roof” (or a Teepee) position (Fig. 2). Make sure the elements are straight and lined up. Flatten the “roof” by getting into the boat and pulling UP on the grab lines (this prevents the fabric from getting pinched (Fig.
Page 8 I/C valves to 12 o'clock and verifying the boats pressure with the pressure gauge by inserting it into any one of the I/C valves and topping up boat if necessary. ALL ZODIAC BUOYANCY TUBE OPERATIONAL PRESSURE MUST BE 240 mbar = 3.4 PSI (+/- 5%)
Page 9 SCUBA DIVE CYLINDER INFLATION: The unique ZODIAC fast inflation system permits the easy inflation of the entire boat fitted with an 80ft³ or 15 liter off the shelf SCUBA dive bottle in only a few minutes.
Page 10 BOAT INFLATION (CON’T) INSTALLATION OF CO INFLATION SYSTEM. Remove the protection dust caps from the inflation points located on the buoyancy tube on both sides of the transom, Screw the CO2 high pressure hoses directly into the boat diffuser valves & tighten firmly, Screw the hoses into the CO2 bottle “Tee”...
Page 11 BOAT INFLATION (CON’T) FOLDING PREPARATION FOR SCUBA and CO2 AUTOMATIC INFLATION Once the boats has been deflated and is flat on the ground, the following are instructions to prepare the boat for automatic inflation either by SCUBA or CO2: Assemble the manifold on the bottle of your choice (SCUBA or CO2) do not tighten yet) Place the bottle in the boats cylinder sheath, inflation head to Starboard do not tighten the...
Page 12 BOAT OPERATING PRESSURE Check the boat’s pressure with a Zodiac pressure gauge frequently (twice a day). - Main Buoyancy Tube pressure at which the overpressure valves will vent when inflating with SCUBA bottle is 320 mbar = 4.64 PSI …...
Page 13 RECOMMENDATION: Your boat is equipped with a “Go NoGo” pressure gauge; we recommend you purchase a “screw-on shop pressure gauge P/N Z7111 from your Zodiac Dealer. It will permit you to read the pressure easily and efficiently during inflation, as it is graduated from 0 to 400 millibars. It will also permit you to perform pressure tests, as the one that comes standard with the boat (P/N Z 1008) is only a “Go NoGo“...
Page 14 AIR PRESSURE (CON’T) IN CASE OF UNDER PRESSURE OR UNDER INFLATION Top the boat up to its recommended pressure. Standard valve: Unscrew the valve cap, Inflate to adjust the pressure, Check pressure with pressure gauge, Screw back the valve cap manually & tighten firmly. I/C Valve: Turn all I/C valve flywheels to the inflation position, (red area) @ 12 o’clock, Unscrew both butterfly wing nuts on the lower buoyancy tubes,...

Page 16 Place the boat in the bag using the following procedures (Fig. 4): In one bag, store the optional hard deck floorboard and stringers, in the other bag, the inflatable boat. Fold over the top and buckle the lanyards, Tighten the lateral tightening cords, making sure no accessories are sticking out. Fig.
Page 17 GENERAL INFORMATION CYLINDERS – CO2 OR SCUBA BOTTLES Control Code and Tare Weight (TW) are stamped on the upper shoulder of the bottle. The cylinder is subject to a hydrostatic test every 5 years, and must be decommissioned if it fails the test. The CO bottles have a safety or overpressure disk on the operation head.
Page 18 TEST DURATION : 24:00 hours minimum As specified in I.S.O 6185, authorized pressure drop is 20% in 24 hours. For buoyancy tubes whose operating pressure is 240 Mbar, Zodiac allows the following tolerances. Boats between 0 & 1 year 12,5% or 30 Mbar...
Page 19 GENERAL INFORMATION (CON’T) The adjustment of the angle of the engine in relation to the transom is essential to obtaining the best performance from your boat (generally on the 2nd tilt pin position). The boat will porpoise if the engine is too far out from the transom (tilt). The boat will buckle if the motor is too far into the transom (trim).
