Frequently Asked Questions - IAN 86426 CRIVIT

How to inflate the inflatable boat?

Follow the indicated order: first the safety chamber (screw valve), then the floor chamber (stop valve), finally the buoyancy chamber (screw valve). Use a foot pump or double-action pump, never a compressor. The recommended pressure is 0.04 bar. Use the provided control ruler to check the pressure.

What to do in case of a puncture on the water?

Do not leave the boat. The other two air chambers ensure buoyancy. Return to shore as soon as possible. Once on land, use the repair kit: clean the area, apply a patch with glue, wait 12 hours before reinflating.

What is the maximum number of persons allowed?

The boat is approved for a maximum of 3 persons, with a total payload of 260 kg. Always distribute people and cargo evenly to avoid capsizing.

Can I use the boat at sea?

No, this boat is designed for category D (sheltered waters): protected coastal areas up to 300 m, small bays, lakes, rivers, and narrow channels. Do not use in wind above force 4 or waves over 0.5 m.

How to store and transport the boat?

Deflate all air chambers completely. Fold it neatly. Use the provided storage bag or marine bag. Store it in a dry, temperate place, protected from rodents. Never transport it inflated on a vehicle.

Do I need to wear a life jacket?

Yes, it is highly recommended to wear a certified life jacket for your safety. Also follow local navigation regulations.

How to clean the boat?

After each use, rinse the boat with fresh water and mild soap to remove salt, sand, and dirt. Let it dry completely before storing. Avoid alcohol or silicone-based products that can damage the coating.

What to do if the valve is damaged?

The screw valves are removable. If the valve leaks, check that it is properly screwed. In case of damage, contact after-sales service. Only use appropriate pump adapters to avoid damaging the valve.

What is the warranty period?

The warranty is 3 years from the date of purchase, covering material and manufacturing defects. Keep your receipt. It does not cover damages from incorrect or non-compliant use.

Can I use sunscreen on board?

Avoid alcohol-based sunscreens and care products, as they can discolor the PVC coating of the boat. Preferably use alcohol-free products.

Intended use

This product has been developed for private use. Design category D "sheltered waters": Designed for voyages in sheltered coastal waters, small bays, small lakes, rivers, and canals when conditions up to and including wind force 4 and significant wave heights up to and including 0.3m can be experienced, with occasional waves of 0.5m maximum height, for example from passing vessels.

Safety instructions

The dinghy is a piece of water sport equipment that is certified and safe. We nevertheless urge you to adhere to the following rules and regulations:

Danger to life!

• Never leave children unsupervised with the packaging material. There is danger of suffocation.
• Never let children play with the product without supervision.

Risk of injury!

Beware of offshore winds!

Beware of offshore currents!

- 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 regulations.

- Do not bring any sharp or pointed objects on board.

- The dinghy should be protected against contact 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 unoccupied. 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 properly.

- 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 influence of alcohol, drugs or medications.

- Never overestimate your strength and when paddling conserve the strength in your muscles 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 weather conditions are and pay attention to storm warnings or any flares!

WARNING!

Please always comply with the safety 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 alcohol can cause the colour coating of this PVC inflatable product to peel. This can lead to stains on your body, your clothing 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^
• 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 otherwise be damaged.

• Do not over-inflate because you then risk tearing open the welded seams. Close the valves properly after inflating.

• Avoid contact with sharp, hot , pointed, or dangerous objects.

Assembly

Follow the individual assembly steps in the order indicated. If the correct sequence for inflating the three air chambers is not followed the pressure may be distributed unevenly.

This can lead to instability of the dinghy and adversely affect its handling characteristics.

• Assembly should always be performed by two adults because of the product's size.
• Select a smooth and clean surface with enough space to unfold the dinghy. Check that all the individual parts are there and in good order and condition.
• After assembling for the second time the dinghy should be inspected for any possible damage, holes, and tears and these should be sealed as described in the section "Repairs". Once you are on the water it is no longer possible to remedy any damage.
• Do not over-inflate the air chambers in order not to overstretch the foil.
• Make sure that the inflated dinghy does not come into contact with stones or other sharp objects and become damaged.

Assembly the screw-on valves (fig. B)

The chambers and of the dinghy are each provided with a threaded opening for the enclosed screw-on valves (4) provided.

1. Pull the loop (4a) of the valve over the threaded opening (1a) so that it lies firmly in the groove provided for that purpose.
2. Turn the base (4b) clockwise into the threaded opening.

Inflation

WARNING!

• Follow the correct sequence when inflating the air chambers.
• The recommended operating pressure is 0.04bar (= 40mbar = 0.58psi).
• Avoid inflating the air chambers too much because there is the risk of over-stretching the welded seams or even tearing them open.
• To inflate the product use standard commercial foot pumps or double-stroke piston pumps with matching adapter attachments, and where applicable a pressure gauge.
• To inflate the product do not use a compressor or compressed air bottle.
  This can lead to damage to the product.
  • Always inflate all air chambers fully.

Inflation sequence

Inflate the air chambers in the following sequence:

1. • Safety chamber with screw-on valve 1
2. • Bottom chamber with plug valve 2
3. • Flotation chamber with screw-on valve 3

Note: The air chambers are marked with the corresponding numbers on the dinghy.

(1) fig. F).

Filling the air chambers

IMPORTANT!

The PVC material expands somewhat after the product is inflated for the first time and does not return to its original condition. Remember that the specifications may vary slightly depending on the load and outside temperature.

- To inflate the product use standard commercial foot pumps or double-stroke piston pumps with matching adapter attachments, and where applicable a pressure gauge.

1. Safety chamber with screw-on valve

1. Open by turning the seal cap (4c) of the screw-on valve (4) anticlockwise (fig. B).

2. Inflate the safety chamber 1 until the length of the imprinted measuring strip matches that of the control ruler (fig. G).

3. Turn the seal cap (4c) of the screw-on valve (4) clockwise to close it again.

Note: The safety chamber 1 is not yet inflated fully.

2. Bottom chamber with plug valve

1. Open the upper part of the valve seal (1b) (fig. D).
2. Inflate the bottom chamber 2 until it feels firm and no more folds can be seen in the material.

Note: When you press with your thumb against the air chamber it should still give a little.

Note: If you do not have a valve adapter that fits, the bottom chamber can also be filled using the next smallest adapter by means of a special diaphragm valve.

1. Close the valve seal and push in the valve by pressing lightly (fig. D).

3. Flotation chamber with screw-on valve

1. Open by turning the seal cap (4c) of the screw-on valve (4) anticlockwise (fig. B).
2. Inflate the flotation chamber 3 until the measuring strip on the nameplate matches the scale on the control ruler.
3. Turn the seal cap (4c) of the screw-on valve (4) clockwise to close it again.

Note: Both the flotation chamber and the safety chamber are now filled taut. The measuring strip on the safety chamber how no longer matches the control ruler (7). This is correct and is intentionally so.

Accessories

Assembling the paddles

Note: When using the dinghy on the water the paddles may not be released from the rowlocks (1e) but instead must remain in the rowlocks (1e) secured against loss (fig. H)!

1. Connect the two paddle tubes (2). The locking button (2a) must then snap in audibly and visibly (fig. 1).
2. Push the end of the tube through the rowlock (1e) and secure the paddle by sliding a drip ring (3) on (fig. J).
3. Repeat the process for the second paddle on the other side of the dinghy.

Cord (fig. H)

1. Begin at the stern and lead the cord (5) around the dinghy through the grommets provided for that purpose.

2. Secure the cord with a reef knot.

Duffel bag (fig. L)

The product comes with a duffel bag (10) in which the dinghy can be stowed for transport and for storage.

To close use the 200cm cord (6). The duffel bag can also be used on board to keep provisions, clothing, etc. protected against splash.

Note: Remember that the duffel bag is not watertight. Do not stow any sensitive objects such as cameras in the duffel bag.

For use on board remove the cord and roll the top end up flat. Then close the duffel bag using the hook-and-loop fasteners.

Storage bag (fig. M)

In addition, the product also comes with a splash-proof storage bag (9) which is attached by the hook-and-loop fasteners (1g) to the inside wall of the dinghy. Smaller items can be stowed in the storage bag.

Note: Remember that the duffel bag is not watertight. Do not stow any sensitive items in the bag.

Disassembling the dinghy

Remove the paddles from the rowlocks (1e).

Deflating

Deflate the dinghy as follows:

1. To deflate the bottom chamber 2 pull the plug valve out of the recess and open the lower part of the valve (fig. E).
2. To deflate air chambers with screw-on valves, unscrew the screw-on valves from the base and let the air out completely (fig. C).

Disassembling the paddles
