Frequently Asked Questions - HR-360 Vevor

How to properly inflate the HR-360 boat?

Unfold the boat on a flat surface. Partially inflate the air chambers (30-50%) before installing the floor. Then, inflate the rear chamber first, then the front chamber, and finally the keel. The maximum pressure is 3.5 PSI. Use the supplied foot pump and a pressure gauge (sold separately) to check the pressure.

What is the maximum air pressure of the chambers?

The recommended maximum pressure for the air chambers is 3.5 PSI. Do not exceed this pressure to avoid damaging the welded seams.

How to install the wooden floor?

After partially inflating the boat, insert the numbered boards in order: No. 1 at the front, No. 4 at the back, then No. 2 and No. 3 in the middle. Attach the side stringers along the tubes to stabilize the floor. Make sure the keel valve is centered in the hole of board No. 1.

How to repair a small perforation less than 12.7 mm?

Clean and dry the area around the leak. Cut a round patch at least 76.2 mm in diameter. Apply 3 thin layers of glue to the patch and the boat, waiting a few minutes between each layer. After the 3rd layer, wait 10-15 minutes then place the patch and press firmly with a roller. Let dry for 24 hours before reinflating.

What are important safety precautions?

Always wear an approved life jacket. Do not exceed the load capacity of 1500 lb or the maximum of 6 passengers. Stay within protected coastal waters up to 300 m. Avoid strong winds and currents. Do not modify the boat. Do not use under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

How to deflate and store the boat?

Open the valve caps and push the pin down to release air. For complete deflation, use the pump in suction mode. Remove the floor and stringers. Fold the tubes inward, then roll the boat starting from the transom. Store it in the provided carry bag after cleaning and drying.

Can I use a motor with the HR-360 boat?

The manual mentions a fuel tank gasket included, indicating the possibility of using a motor. However, respect the maximum recommended motor power indicated on the nameplate. Never exceed the allowable load and follow local regulations.

How to maintain the plywood floor?

The wooden floor is treated with waterproof paint. If the paint is damaged, sand and repaint immediately to prevent water damage to the wood. Clean regularly with fresh water and soap.

What to do if the boat loses pressure within 24 hours?

A pressure loss of less than 20% over 24 hours is normal. If it is greater, check that all valves are properly closed and clean. Look for visible leaks or use soapy water to detect small perforations. Repair according to instructions.

How to avoid damage to the PVC coating?

Avoid contact with sharp objects, stones, gravel, corrosive liquids, and heat. Do not use sunscreen or care products containing alcohol, as they can damage the coating. Protect the boat from sunlight with a tarp when not in use.

Safety Information

The dinghy is an inspected and safe water sports vessel. We would still like to impress upon you the importance of complying with the following rules and regulations:

Risk of Death!

Never let children play with packaging materials unsupervised. There is a risk of suffocation. Never let children play with the product unsupervised.

Risk of injury!

Beware of offshore wind!

Beware of offshore currents.

• Keep in mind that persons and loads must be evenly distributed in the boat at all times, since there would otherwise be a risk of capsizing.
• Please observe the information on the identification plate, the allowable load capacity, and number of passengers as well as the warning notices.
• Always comply with the local regulations governing nautical travel.
• Do not transport any sharp or pointy objects. The dinghy should be protected against contact with possibly hazardous liquids or acids. This could cause

irreparable damage.

• Protect the dinghy against heat and fire! Be careful with smoldering cigarettes!
• Make sure the dinghy doesn't end up on stony ground in order to prevent damage to the hull of the vessel. Should one of the three air chambers become damaged during operation on the water, do not under any circumstances leave the dinghy. The two intact air chambers should be buoyant enough to keep the dinghy safely above water.
• Never transport the product on a vehicle when it is inflated.
• Never leave your dinghy on the water unattended. It could be washed away faster than you can swim out to get it.
• Always make sure you have the paddle with you before using the vessel, otherwise it would be impossible to adequately maneuver it.
• Do not make any technical modifications to the vessel. Changes of any kind pose a risk to the proper operation of the sporting vessel. Never use the product under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medications.
• Never overestimate your strength and pace yourself while paddling to make sure that you can easily paddle back the way you came at any given time. Stay in protected shore zones up to 984.2 ft (300 m) out and pay attention to changing wind and current conditions that might make movement considerably more difficult.

WARNING!

Maintaining your caution and self-awareness is extremely important on the water. Never overestimate your strength and ability to maneuver! Always stay near the shore! Pay attention to the weather conditions, storm warnings, and any light signals!

WARNING!

Always pay attention to safety requirements and the applicable legal regulations for lakes and open water and always wear an approved life jacket for your own safety.

AWARNING!

Avoid using sunscreen and skin care products containing alcohol.

Sunscreen and skin care products containing alcohol may cause the cold coating to come off of the inflatable PVC material. This may leave color residue on your body, clothing, and other objects that come into contact.

AWARNING!

If a person should fall overboard, they must always climb back in over bow or stern, since climbing in on the side would increase the risk of capsizing.

Avoiding Material Damage!

• All inflatable products are susceptible to cold. For this reason, never unfold and inflate the product at a temperature of less than 59°F(15°C) .
• If the air pressure increases in direct sunlight, it must be offset by releasing appropriate amount of air.
• Make sure that the product - particularly when inflated - does not come in contact with stones, gravel, or sharp objects and does not at any point scrape, because this may cause damage to the surface foil.
• Only plug suitable pump adapters into the safety valve. Otherwise the valves could be damaged.
• Do not over inflate as there is a risk that the welded seams will split. Close valves fully after inflating. Avoid contact with sharp, hot, pointed, or dangerous objects.

Steps on How to Install the Wood Floorboard

Step 1: Unfold the deflated boat

Clear a flat space (making sure it is clear and free from sharp objects) and unfold the boat. Remove the hull from its box and out of the boat bag. Unroll the hull so it lies flat.

Step 2: Inflate partially

Push and twist the hose nozzle (adapter on the hose) inside the valve until it is screwed in. Inflate hull chambers to approximately 30% - 50% full in order to make floorboard insertion easier.

Step 3: Install floorboard No.1

Each floorboard is labeled with a number. Floorboard No.1 will be the first floorboard. Place floorboard No. 1 at the bow part. Make sure you get the first floorboard as far forward as possible, right in the join between the bottom of the boat and the side. Make sure that the keel valve is located at the center of No.1 board's hole.

Step 4: Install Floorboard No.4

Place floorboard No. 4 next to the transom.

Step 5: Install Floorboard No.2 and No.3

Place floorboard No.2 next to No.1 and floorboard No.3 next to No.4. Floor No.2 and No.3 should be placed angular to each other. Push floorboards together to join these floorboards in a flat position.

Step 6: Attach side joiners

Attach side joiners to the floor along the tubes to create a solid floor. (Tips: Stringers are used for stabilizing the floorboards. For convenience of installation, place an oar under the tube to give the floorboard a lift. This makes installing side strips easier. Please make sure to leave side tips of stringer on the PVC patch. PVC patches are predetermined to endure long-term friction caused by the edgy tips of stringer.)

Step 7: Attach seats and oars

Attach wooden seat properly by placing plastic edges with the seat with the slots located on the sides of the boat. The oars are placed accordingly as shown.

Step 8: Inflate the boat

Start inflating the front air chamber, followed by the two side air chambers. Then inflate the keel in the middle. Place the cap on the valve and twist it tightly. Join the oar pieces and properly attach them to the oar locks. Then screw the cap tightly to secure them. (Tips: The internal air pressure in the chambers can go up to a maximum pressure of 3.5 psi. With an air pressure gauge, you can exactly measure the air pressure as desired. The air pressure gauge is sold separately.)

Keel Inflation: DON'T forget to inflate the keel. A vessel with a flat keel can be unstable to steer on water.

Keel inflation is the last step to finish the entire setup of the boat and floorboard. Inspect whether or not the keel valve is positioned properly by inflating the keel after positioning the floorboard correctly. Prior to the full inflation of air chambers, inflate and deflate to check that the keel valve is still in the same place through the hole cut. This helps to ensure that part of the keel is suppressed so as to allow healthy inflation.

Next, attach accessories to their designated places.

Step 9: (Note: HR-270 only has one aluminum bench seat.)

The boat is basically ready for rowing now. If you want to attach accessories, the steps are not yet finished.

Tips for Installation:

Valve mechanism:

The air valve consists of 3 different parts. The bottom part stays inside the chamber permanently, connecting to the outer parts on the outside. The uppermost part is the one with the air controlling mechanism. It also ties a knot on a string that holds the cap, avoiding constant misplacing of your cap. When the pin is pushed down and locked, it permits free access of air in both ways. When released, it snaps back to stop any air leakage.

Damage and replacement:

The outer parts can be replaced once found broken or lost. Dispose of the broken part properly to recycle and exchange for a new set.

Deflating:

Deflate at your need by opening the cap and push-locking the pin down and allowing air to completely escape.

To fully deflate for compact storage, get it done with the foot pump provided.

The foot pump can also be used reversely for air suction. Switch the hose connection on the pump and proceed to pedal, drawing air until flat.

Inflating the boat in a correct order can also help you identify whether your air chamber partition layer is leaking.

It's a good rule of thumb to always start inflating from the back to the bow. The best method to get this done is to inflate the rear chambers to the point where they are not too rigid yet. Then start inflating the bow chamber. You will see the boat adjust itself to a perfect hardness, reaching the expected pressure of 3.5 psi. The principle is that the elastic membrane in between is elastic when inflating. The step of bow chamber inflation pushes all the membrane back to a normal relaxed position.

In the process of inflating, leaving one side of the chamber flat and only inflating the one next to it can show you signs of potential air leaking on the separate parts. If the chambers get full when you are only inflating one side, then there is a leaking hole on the membrane.

On the side note, inflating evenly on both sides of the chamber can help avoid unnecessary damages on partition segments, which extends the lifespan.

Original Key Features:

1. On the stern, the transom is double reinforced by a thick rubber skin. Glued and screwed to the transom board, connecting to the air chamber offering a firm grab to it. The screws are plastic that penetrate through the transom board with a trace of water adhesive covered on the outside. The transom is the firmest structure compared to other compartments. As a significant part of the boat, it has to be built strong, avoiding loosening or separating during boating.

2. On top of the transom board, a layer of thick rubber skin is glued as well for the protection over the edge. The plywood that makes the transom board needs to be completely sealed and covered to avoid delamination after being exposed to water. The outside coating is also key in protecting the transom board.

3. And the two triangle PVC skins covering the side of the transom are designed to guard against water splash, and also do the job at reinforcing the transom and air chambers together.

Quadruple Seam: Under the strake line locates the seam line. You can literally see the bulging line from outside. There are 4 layers of PVC glued and taped from inside out.

Strake Lines: Are designed for preventing scratches and crashes. The rugged shape features a small curled down edge to help prevent water from flushing upward into your boat.

OPERATION

The unpacking

Before you unfold the boat, take a good look at how the boat is folded. Unfold the boat on a flat surface and check if all parts did come with it (valves, wooden seat or inflatable thwart, foot-pump, oars, side-joiners, repair kit, and carrying-bag).

Valves

The valves are pre-assembled. You can leave them there permanently, because they do not damage the fabric, or the user of the boat. Loosen the front cap, place pump-hose to fill the boat. Inside the valve is a nipple. Press and turn, air will come out. The valve will close the same way too.

Using oars

Our inflatables are extremely suitable for rowing. Be careful when there is wind and you are sailing a boat without a keel.

Towing

Our inflatables have three towing rings. When towing the boat, it is best to use all three towing rings, so that the tractive power is divided. It is also not allowed to have ballast in the boat when towing. Make sure you have extra towing ropes when towing in bad weather. The length of the towing ropes must be adjusted to the type of boat being towed and the circumstances.

Losing pressure

An inflatable boat is designed to lose no more than a certain amount of air in 24 hours. If this does happen, do the following.

1. Check if all valves are screwed tight.

1. 2. Check if all valves are clean.

3. See if you can find any damage.

1. 4. Check the seams.

5. Put some soap suds on the boat to discover small leaks.

Due to temperature differences, the pressure can increase or decrease.

How to repair

If you have found a leak, then clean the fabric around it. Cut out a piece of fabric with round edges, which is about 2.5 cm bigger than the leak. Clean the area around the leak and the piece of fabric with thinner. Put on both parts two layers of glue. Let the parts dry until the upper glue layer has dried a bit. Stick both pieces together and make sure that there are no air bubbles between them. Let the repair sit for 24 hours before you start using the boat again.

Important: Repairing is only possible in a dry atmosphere and the air moisture may not be bigger than 60%.

Maintenance

Because the boat's fabric is PVC, it does not need maintenance. So you don't need to use talcum powder when the boat is folded together. Clean the boat with soap and water. When you find persistent stains like oil and tar, you can remove them with thinner. After you have used thinner, always clean the boat with fresh water. It is important to clean the valves also. The transom and wooden floorboards are made out of plywood and are treated with a waterproof paint. Every damaging of the paint must directly be scoured and painted to avoid damaging to the wood. When you do not use the inflated boat, we advise covering it with a boat-cover against sun and dirt.

Stowing away

When you will not use the boat for a longer time and you stow it away in a carrying-bag, it is sensible to clean the boat with fresh water to remove sand and dirt and let it dry. Take out the valves and empty the air chambers. Then remove the floorboard and joiners. Now fold the tubes to the inner side of the boat. If the boat has the same width as the transom, fold the cones behind the transom. Then you can roll the boat together starting with the transom. You can tie a rope around the package to keep it small. Put the boat with all the parts together in the carrying-bag.

Fire risk

All materials of this inflatable boat are flammable. Keep open fire away from the boat.

Advises

1. Always take lifesaving-vests with you for all passengers, whether it is legally obliged or not.
2. Check the pressure and the condition of the boat before you start sailing.

3. Pay attention to the weather circumstances for your safety and also for its influence on the fuel-consumption.

4. Do not forget important papers like maps or a sailing license.

5. Make sure you take spare-papers, repair-kits, first-aid-kit and a pump with you. At last: Make sure you do not ever exceed the maximum recommended number of persons, load capacity and engine power. We wish you have lots of pleasure with your aquamarine inflatable.

SMALL TEARS, CUTS AND PUNCTURE

1. The repair of a small leak or puncture less than 1/2in (12.7mm) can be made with a round patch, minimum 3in (76.2mm) diameter.

2. Both patch and surface on boat must be dry and free of dirt or grease.

1. Apply 3 thin, even coats of glue to surface of boat and patch. Wait 5 minutes between each coat. After 3rd coat, wait 10-15 minutes before placing patch on boat. Use hard roller to press patch onto boat skin.

4. Wait a minimum of 24 hours before re-inflating and using the boat.

LARGE REPAIRS OF SKIN, SEAMS, BULKHEADS, TRANSO

It is recommended that boat be returned to selling dealer for all large repairs. If this is not possible, contact dealer.
