• Make sure that people and cargo are
always distributed uniformly in the
boot to avoid the risk of capsizing.
• Pay attention to the information on the
nameplate, the permissible load capacity
and number of people as well as the warning
instructions.
• Always comply with local navigation regula-
tions.
• Do not bring any sharp or pointed objects on
board.
• The dinghy should be protected against con-
tact with any dangerous liquids or acids. This
can cause irreparable damage.
• Protect the dinghy from heat and fire! Be
careful with lit cigarettes!
• To avoid damage to the hull, make sure that
the dinghy does not run onto rocky ground.
• Should damage occur to one of the three
air chambers when you are on the water,
under no circumstances must you abandon
the dinghy. The buoyancy of the two intact air
chambers will be sufficient to keep the dinghy
safely above water.
• Under no circumstances should the product be
transported by vehicle when inflated.
• Never leave your dinghy in the water unoc-
cupied. It will drift away faster than it can be
reached by swimming.
• Before using always make sure that you have
the paddles with you since you may otherwise
not be able to manoeuvre the dinghy proper-
ly.
• Do not make any technical modifications to
your dinghy. Modifications of any kind put
operation of the dinghy at risk.
• Never use the product when under the influ-
ence of alcohol, drugs or medications.
• Never overestimate your strength and when
paddling conserve the strength in your mus-
cles in such a way that you can easily paddle
back again over the distance you have
covered.
Stay in sheltered shore areas within 300m
and beware of changing winds and currents
that may make it significantly harder for you to
navigate.
WARNING!
Your caution and self-awareness when
on the water are extremely important.
Never overestimate your strength and
navigational skills! Always stay close
to shore! Be aware of what the weath-
er conditions are and pay attention to
storm warnings or any flares!
WARNING!
Please always comply with the safe-
ty regulations and the current local
provisions for lakes and open bodies of
water, and for your own safety always
wear a certified life jacket.
WARNING!
Avoid using sunscreen and skin care
products containing alcohol. Sunscreen
and skin care products containing alco-
hol can cause the colour coating of this
PVC inflatable product to peel. This can
lead to stains on your body, your cloth-
ing and other objects that are in contact.
WARNING!
If someone falls overboard they should
always climb back on board via the
bow or the stern because there is a high
risk of capsizing when trying to board
from the sides.
Avoiding material damage!
• All inflatables are susceptible to cold.
For this reason never unfold and inflate the
product at a temperature lower than 15 °C!
• In the event that the air pressure increases in
the hot sun, it must be balanced accordingly
by letting out air.
• Make sure that the product, especially when
inflated, does not come into contact with
stones, gravel, or sharp objects and does not
rub or scrape against anything; this can cause
damage to the plastic foil.
• Use only the correct pump adapters to insert
into the safety valves. The valves might other-
wise be damaged.
