It is the owner's responsibility to make sure all users carefully read and follow the instructions for safe operation of this product. Observe all local and national laws. Always wear a Personal Flotation Device approved by the proper authorities. Please carefully observe the Capacity Plate information which is printed on the product.

WARNING!

These boats are not meant for towing because the extreme pressure of the water while towing can tear the eyelets and/or handles. These boats are not meant to be used in whitewater.

These boats are made of the highest quality materials and comply with NMMA (National Marine Manufacturers Association) regulations.

CAUTION!

Altering the construction of these boats could jeopardize the safety of the occupants and will void the limited warranty.

CAUTION!

Keep boat away from gasoline, battery acid, solvents, etc., as they can damage the boat.

INFLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION!

Do not over inflate. Pressurize product to "Inflation Pressure" stated in the chart for your specific product.

WARNING!

Never use a compressor, CO_2 or compressed air to inflate the boat. Do not let your boat come into contact with sharp, pointed objects.

To inflate using any Sevylor® QuickPump™ unit:

Fully remove adapter and close external stopper.

Valve should appear depressed into itself.

IMPORTANT! Inflate the boat chambers in the following order:

1. Inflate the inside all-around safety chamber.
2. Inflate the floor chamber(s).
3. Inflate the bottom tunnel chambers. (These tubular chambers are only found on Super Caravelle and Fish Hunter™ models.)
4. Inflate the bustle chamber. (This support chamber positioned at the stern is found only on the large Super Caravelle models.)
5. Inflate the outside main chamber.

The chambers on the boat will be numbered to indicate order of inflation also. This order of inflation will ensure the proper volume and buoyancy of the safety chamber.

Note: To inflate the mini double lock valve, which is used on some of the Sevylor boat floors and seat bottoms, follow the same inflation instructions above, using the mini double lock valve adapter. The mini Double Lock™ valve adapter is included with all Sevylor pumps. The adapter can be purchased from Customer Service by calling 1-800-835-3278 (Part Number 5010000707).

CAUTION!

Water temperature and weather does affect the pressure in inflatable products. In cold weather your product will lose some pressure due to the fact the air will contract. If this occurs, you may want to add a little air to improve your products performance. However, in hot weather, the air will expand. You must let some air out to prevent your product from failing due to overpressure. You should avoid exposing your product to extreme temperatures (hot or cold).

DEFLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Deflation instructions using any Sevylor® QuickPump™ unit:

Illustration of a handheld electric shaver with attached motor and connector (no text or symbols)

Remove adapter hose from inflation end and attach to opposite deflation end of pump. Repeat same steps as inflation. This will draw the air out quickly.

Deflation instructions using the Sevylor® Dual Action Hand Pump:

Illustration of a mechanical valve with a handle and pipe, no text or symbols present

Remove adapter hose from inflation port and attach to deflation port on pump handle. Repeat same steps as inflation. This will draw the air out quickly.

SEVYTEST™ GAUGE

Some of the Sevylor® products are equipped with a Sevytest™ gauge. The Sevytest™ device is a pressure gauge, not an inflation gauge. The Sevytest™ gauge is found on the side wall, inside the main chamber(s). The purpose is to show you when to let some air out after the pressure has increased due to temperature change.

The principle of the Sevytest™ gauge is based on the lengthening of the PVC under the influence of pressure. Once the boat is properly inflated, note the position of the Sevytest™ indicator. Then periodically check the Sevytest™ gauge and let out enough air to keep the test strip in the same general area. If the Sevytest™ indicator is in the “+” zone, add pressure to the product. If the Sevytest™ indicator is in “-” zone, release pressure from the product.

Maintain pressure in this zone Add pressure Release pressure SEVYTEST™ sevylor® JA4

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

• Follow all local boating regulations and navigation rules.
  Familiarize yourself with boating conditions where you plan to use the boat. Use common sense and caution when operating in unfamiliar places.
• Observe the maximum weight the boat can carry and do not overload past this limit. Over-loading jeopardizes the safety of the occupants.
• Be sure all accessories and/or equipment (e.g. oars, life jackets) are in proper working condition before using the boat. Each person occupying the boat is to wear an approved Personal Flotation Device (life preserver).
• Sharp objects are not to be carried in the boat without adequate protection or storage.
• When navigating the boat in any water depth, watch for submerged or sharp objects that may damage or pierce the boat's air chambers.
• Enter the boat from the port (left) or starboard (right) sides - not from the fore (front) or aft (back) sides.
• Never tow with a boat or any other vehicle.

MOTOR MOUNTING

DANGER!

CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY, BRAIN DAMAGE OR DEATH.

Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless, extremely toxic gas.

Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are dizziness, ears ringing, headaches, nausea and unconsciousness.

Have the victim breathe fresh air deeply. If breathing stops, resuscitate. A victim often revives, then relapses because organs are damaged by lack of oxygen. Seek immediate medical attention.

WARNING!

ROTATING PROPELLER MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH

- Keep away from the rear of boat while engine is running.

WARNING!

- DO NOT mount a motor on any boat that exceeds the Maximum Horsepower rating for your specific boat model. See pages 5 and 6.

All Sevylor® boats that have a Horsepower Rating can accept the Sevylor® 12V Trolling Motor, Model 2000004144 without purchasing any additional mounting hardware. Refer to 12V Trolling Motor mounting instructions.

Mounting any motor other than the Sevylor® 12V Trolling Motor, Model 2000004144, requires the Sevylor® Motor Mount Kit, Model 2000004146, which is sold separately.

PROPER SEATING LOCATION

WARNING!

AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH

- DO NOT sit on the side tubes while the boat is underway. Sudden movement of the boat will cause you to lose balance and fall. Sit on the floor or on the seating cushion and use the grab line to prevent loss of balance.

When a motor is attached to the boat, it should only be operated from the rear seating position on either the port (left) or starboard (right) side of the boat.

CARE & STORAGE:

• These boats are made of the highest quality materials and comply with NMMA (National Marine Manufacturers Association) regulations. Altering the construction of these boats will void the limited warranty and could jeopardize the safety of the occupants.
• If your boat has been used in salt water, rinse it off with fresh water as soon as possible.
• Remove tar spots or other soiled areas by using a mild soap and rinsing with fresh water.
• Be sure your boat is completely dry before storing.
• The boats may be stored inflated, but do not place any heavy or sharp objects on it. Storage is best in a dry room.

Square Knot

OAR ASSEMBLY:

(for models with oar included)

Join the two shafts together by screwing them together into the coupler. Attach the blade to the shafts by screwing in into the bottom of the shaft.

Replacement Part #2000004151

Retainer Ring Shaft Shaft Coupler Blade

The assembled oar is to be inserted into the oar locks from the outside of the boat. The oar retainer ring is then placed onto the top half of the assembled oar, from the inside of the boat, to prevent the oar from sliding into the water (see below).
