Assembly

Due to the size of the item, the assem-

bly should always be carried out by

two adults. Please adhere to the indivi-

dual steps of assembly in the stipulated

order.

This especially applies for the inﬂating

of the three air chambers as otherwise

irregular pressure distribution may oc-

cur, which will lead to instability of the

bathing boat and can lead to impair-

ments of its handling characteristics.

1. Choose a ﬂat and clean surface with enough

space to unpack and unfold the bathing boat.

Make sure that all parts are available and are in

good order and condition.

2. Spread out the boat hull. Starting with the

second assembly of the bathing boat, check for

possible damages, holes or tears and seal these

as described below. Possible damages cannot

be repaired once you are on the water.

Assembly of the paddles

(Ill.

E

,

H

)

Important!

While using the boat on the water,

the paddles must not detach from the

paddle-locks, but must be secured with

paddle-locks to avoid loosening!

• Connect the two paddle pipes whereby the

press studs must audibly and visibly snap in

properly. Push the end of the pipe through the

paddle lock and secure the paddle by sliding

on the drip-ring.

Repeat the procedure for the second paddle

for the other side of the boat.

Assembling the Screw Valve

(Ill.

F

)

The chambers / of the bathing boat are

equipped with a threaded opening for the

supplied screw-on-valves. Pull the sling

of

the vent over the threaded opening in such

a way that they securely lie on the intended

groove. This procedure requires a bit of tact and

patience, it must however be done diligently so

that a later loosening and subsequent opening

of the valve is avoided.

Now screw the base

clockwise into the

threaded opening.

Inﬂating

CAUTION!

• Adhere to the correct sequence when inﬂating

the air chambers.

• The recommended operating pressure is

0.04 bar (= 40 mbar = 0.58 psi).

• Avoid over-inﬂating the air chambers as

otherwise there is a risk that the welded joints

may tear or be overstretched.

• Make use of standard foot pumps or piston

pumps with corresponding attachments and if

necessary a manometer.

• Do not make use of compressors or

compressed air bottles for inﬂating the item.

This can cause damages to the item.

• Always inﬂate all air chambers completely!

Inﬂation Sequence (Ill.

G

)

Always check the air pressure after

inﬂating an air chamber as described

on page 26 “Monitoring the Operating

Pressure”.

Inﬂate the air chambers in the following se-

quence:

1.

Safety chamber with

screw-on-valve

2. Garret with plug-valve

3. Flotation chamber with

screw-on-valve
