Valves
The Quicksilver valves are specially designed for safe and comfortable use.
The valves are designed flat to increase the comfort in the boat and to prevent
damage to the boat.
Operation of the valve:
• Take off outside cap. This is for protection from dirt and damage.
• Push the valve once to open it.
• Push the valve again to close it.
Pump connection:
Put end piece (the part than must be turned) of the pump on the valve.
• Turn right (clockwise) and start pumping.
• Keep pumping until the right pressure is reached.
• When ready, be sure to take off the pump.
• Be sure to put on the protection cap again.
Rowing Equipment
Quicksilver boats come standard with a seatbench (except SPORT HD) and
either oars and oarlocks or a set of paddles.
• Ensure the seatbench is installed properly.
• For Tendy, Airdeck, SPORT, Alu‑Rib Ultra Light and Alu‑Rib until 350:
remove the cap from the stainless steel pin, insert the oar, then replace
the cap on the pin.
• The SPORT HD and Alu‑Rib 380 and 420 models are equipped with two
paddles, these are placed on the tube, right above the floor.
• If the oars are not in use, put the oars in the clips on the sides of the boat,
with the blade pointing to the transom.
Seatbench
Inflate the boat for 75% and install the seatbench. When the seatbench is
installed, the Quicksilver inflatable boat can be fully inflated.
Inflation of the Tubes
The proper inflation and deflation is essential for a long life of your boat.
To inflate the boat, roll out the boat on the floor. Remove any sharp objects
from flat surface where the boat will be assembled.
• If the boat is unpacked, check if all parts are present.
• Check if the valves are closed, by removing the safety cap from the valve.
When the central button is positioned upwards, the valve is closed.
• Get your delivered pump. Push the nozzle, end piece on the valve and
turn right. The pump will tighten on the valve.
• Put enough air in the boat to give the boat some form.
