INFLATION/DEFLATIONVALVES OPERATION

The inflation/deflation valve is intended for:

—filling the compartment with air from a standart pump or filling

system and maintaining pressure in the tube for prolonged time,

—adjustable drop of pressure in compartment.
The air fill valve is designed as a tab-type non-return valve.
Every inflation / deflation valve includes the following parts : valve
body 1, valve nut 5, valve cap 2 with strap 3, washerwith gasket 4,
spindel 6 with spring 7, cup diaphragm 8 ( Fig.5).
INFLATIONMODE : valve is closed with gasket 4 tight . To move the
valve to deflation mode : push the button 6 and turn it clockwise to fix
it in lower position
DEFLATION MODE : button is fixed in lower position. To move the
valve to inflation mode : push the button 6 and turn it counter
clockwise. The button goes to upper position.

ATTENTION !

1. Overinflating of your boat,when the air pressureis
more than nominal, sufficiently decreases the boat

life time.

2.Thevalves are airtight just in case theyareclosedwith

the caps tight.

3. The tube is airtight in case it keeps its form for 8

hours at least.

MAINTENANCE

Main conditions of long service life is right and careful service.

Avoid excessive increasing of pressure in the board,

especially from heating by the sun rays.

After exploitation take off sand and dirt from boat

surface, and carefully dry it.

Avoid the water getting into the chambers. If a fuel or an oil /
gas gets to the boat surface it is necessary to wash the soiling
place by soap water as soon as possible and dry.

Pay attention to the condition of bottom and seat surfaces.
If the coating is destroyed it is necessary to dry this element
and restore the defend ply.

After the season prepare the boat to winter keeping.
Clean boat surface from sand and dirt and make the
necessary repairs, if damages take place. If it is possible,
keep the boat in the open and slightly pumped state in air
temperature 0-25°C. The boat must be protected from the
sun rays.

Insignificant boat repairing (eliminating the board
punctures or cuts) you may carry out by yourself. In this
case use the coated fabric patches from the complete set.
Ask your dealer for the correct type of glue you may use
for the repair.

In case if sufficient damagesof hull, tube body,partitions
or seams it is recommended to apply for professional repair
in authorised service station.

Dear user,
We thank your for your purchase and do hope that you will
have a great fun ofit. However, to make your joy and pleasure
complete, we would request you to read carefully and observe
the directions and recommendations specified below.

IT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN :

to handle the boat in the state of intoxication and without individual
rescue means being used (life-saving belts, jackets, etc.)

IT IS FORBIDDEN :

- to overload the boat above the design weight-carrying capacity;

- to use an outboard engine of power exceeding the maximum
allowable value;

- to bring the tube pressure up to the value exceeding the rated
one ( 0.15 bar);

- to drag the boat across a rough surface.

Danger of usage of engine having insufficient or

excessive power

According to the safety regulations, each inflatable boat
should be furnished with an outboard engine having the
maximum allowable power. You will find the data on the
maximum allowable power of the engine on the manufacturer's
plate with the designation of the model type inscribed thereon.
The plate is fixed in the afterbody of the boat. However, your
should choose the engine power within the allowable range
so as to ensure that you may safely reach the shore when
heading into the wind or into the current.

Observation of local shipping regulations

For each particular water area the local shipping regulations

6.OPERATING REGULATIONS

OPERATINGREGULA TIONS

GRAND Golden Line G340, G340L, G340GL UM13400

are in force. You may apply for information to the appropriate
water transport and shipping directorate, as well as to the
water police.

Proper usage of boat equipment and accessories

Use the boat equipment and accessories only on their direct

purpose to ensure reliable service.

Availability of Oars

Even when sailing with an outboard engine you should
always have the oars available with you so that you were able
to reach the shore without outside assistance in case of any
damage to the boat.

Usage of emergency stop switch

On your request any outboard engine seller may provide your
engine with the emergency stop switch. During navigation the
switch should be connected to the wrist of your hand by
means of a cord. In case you fall overboard, even if being a
steersman, the switch will cut out the engine and the propeller.
This arrangement will enable you to avoid any traumas and to
reach the boat.

Prevention of damages caused by electrolyte or

fuel leakages

Take all possible precautions against penetration of fuel or
electrolyte from the storage battery into the inflatable boat. If
it does happen wash thoroughly the fouled spots with water.

Cargo arrangement and stowing, attachment of

items and prevention of falling overboard

You should be always sure that the number of people on
board never exceeds that specified in the user's manual or
on the manufacturer's plate provided on the transom. The boat
will retain an adequate floatability and will not keel over only
provided that the load is arranged reasonably. Therefore,do
not accommodate all passengers on the same side of the boat.
Arrange the cargo to be carried uniformly inside the boat, all

items being reliable secured on the bottom of the boat. All
passengers should be accommodated inside the boat. The
occupied seats should not be left throughout the entire
sail ing time. When sailing with an outboard engine the
steersman should shift his body forward in the course of
accelerationtoprevent the boatforebodyfrom raisingunder
the force of upthrust waves.

Presence of sharp and pricking objects on board

Despitethestrong shellofthe boat weare recommended to
handlesharpand prickingobjectsbeing onboardwith care.
Forexample,it concernsaknife blade,fish-hookpoint, etc.

Rockyshore,mole, shoals(forexample, sandbanks,

coral reefs, rocks)

Approachrockyshores,shoals,moles, etc. carefullytoavoid
damagesto the boat.It is strictlyprohibited todragthe boat
acrossrough surfaces (shingle,rocks, concrete,etc.).

Check at navigation

Incase of prolongednavigation with theuse of anoutboard
engine,regularly check toensure thattheengine isreliably
attachedtotheboat.Ifthe engine wasattachedcarelesslythe
attachmentmaywork looseunderthe actionof vibration.
Besides,check air chamberspressure atregular intervals,
sincethe pressure mayvary under theeffects ofoutsideair
temperatureandatmosphericpressure variations.
Neverforgettomonitorregularly the quantityoffuelinthe fuel
tank.Keepalways inmindthat thequantityof fuelshouldbe
sufficientfor you tosail toyour finaldestination.

Availability of rescue means (life-saving jackets,

distress signals, spare parts)

Ifyou are planningto gobeyond theprotected water areas
youshould provideall passengers on board withlife-saving
jackets. All passengers should put on life-saving jackets
understrong wind andheavy seawaysconditions. Those

if you believe that the shore is just nearby stay in the boat,

since you will be looked for in this particular place and, most

probably, will be found. Should the boat become partially

flooded throw heavy objects (batteries, fuel tank, engine)

overboard to ensure additional floatability.

The "GRAND" Company employees would like to wish you a

pleasant and safe leisure time!

passengerswho cannotswim should always carry thelife­savingjacketswhileonboard!It is alsorecommendedtokeep
constantlydistresssignal meansonboard.

Towing

At towing the towing rope length should not be at least 3
lengthsofthe boat, theropebeing securedtoboth boats ina
manner ensuring its immediately, single-motion release. The
steersman of the towed boat should be assisted by another
crew member to monitor the process of towing. In this case,
certain communication gestures should be agreed upon
beforehand.

Damage to one of air chambers

Theinflatable boatis designedto provide an adequate stability
in case of the complete damage to one the air chambers
(balloon compartments) at the expense of the remaining air
chambers and the hull. Thanks to it, you will be able to reach
safely the nearest shore. Reduce the speed and shift your
body to the undamaged part of the boat. Watch changes in
stability. After this immediately head for the nearest shore. To
prevent penetration of water into the boat, pull the shell of the
damaged air chambers upwards.

Anchor and mooring fast fastening

Fix the anchor and towing ropes in the forebody of the boat
to the front towing ring. Fix the back spring on the transom via
special holes.

Danger of currents and wind

Before navigation of the boat in unfamiliar waters make detail
inquiries about local conditions and regulations! Currents,
wind, shoals, rising and falling tides, as well as weather
variations may imply serious danger!

In emergency stay in boat

In any unexpected situation (engine failure, boat damage,

etc.) do not ever leave the boat provided it is still afloat. Even
