FAQ’s Sand filter pumps

1 ) Where can I use my inflatable vessel?

Ans

This depends on the type of vessel you have. See the following schedule:

Fashion model	Type of water
Kayak, SUP	Rivers, lakes, canals
Fishman	Rivers, lakes, canals
Cheyenne	Rivers, lakes, canals
Z-RAY I 200 Z-RAY I 300 Z-RAY II 300 Z-RAY III 300 Z-RAY IV 200 Z-RAY IV 300	Rivers, lakes, canals
Z-RAY II 400 Z-RAY II 500 Z-RAY III 400 Z-RAY III 500	Rivers, lakes, canals, oceans

In general, shorter lighter boats are easier to drive (this is ideal for quiet waters like rivers and lakes). The longer, heavier boats are often faster and are more stable in the water, which makes them suitable for larger waters.

2 ) My vessel gets soft, how can I find it?

Ans

To find the leakage, take the following steps:

1) First check that all valves are properly sealed. If necessary, turn it over.

2) Check if the vessel is exposed to high temperature differences. If the vessel is inflated at higher temperatures and then exposed to lower temperatures at night, the pressure may decrease. This may make the boat look soft.

3) Should the above options not help you can look for a leak:

• Thoroughly inflate the vessel and look (and listen) to leaks. Large leaks are clearly visible.
•  Spray with soap water wherever you suspect a leak. There will be bubbles if there is a leak.
• Also check the valves for leaks. The built-in safety valve may be replaced.

If you have found the leak, clean the surface thoroughly and then repair it using the repair kit.

3 ) How can I replace the built-in valve?

Ans

First open the valve (1). Then release the air (2) and then release the base of the valve (3,4 & 5) using the lever (counterclockwise). Then you can turn the new valve into the boat (6,7 & 8)

4 ) Can I attach an outboard engine to my boat?

Ans

This depends on the age and model of the boat. First, check the manual if any engine support can be placed on the boat. Keeps the following data when selecting a motor:

Fashion model	Maximum power	Maximum weight of the engine
Fishman deluxe 300 Fishman deluxe 350 Fishman deluxe 400	1.0 hp / 0.75 KW	11 kg
Cheyenne I 400 Cheyenne II 400 Cheyenne II 500 Cheyenne III 200 Cheyenne III 300 Cheyenne III 400 Fishman II 200 Fishman II 400 Fishman A-III deluxe 251 Fishman A-III 251	2.5 hp / 1.8 kW	11 kg
Cheyenne V 200 Cheyenne V 300	2.7 hp / 2.0 KW	25 kg
Fishman II 500 Z-RAY I 200 Z-RAY IIII 200 Z-RAY IIII 300	4.0 hp / 2.9 KW	25 kg
Z-RAY I 300	5.0 hp / 3.7 KW	25 kg
Z-RAY II 300 Z-RAY III 300	6.0 hp / 4.4 KW	40 kg
Z-RAY II 400 Z-RAY III 400	8.0 hp / 5.9 KW	40 kg
Z-RAY II 500 Z-RAY III 500	9.9 hp / 7.4 KW	50 kg

5 ) What can I do if there’s air out of my vessel?

Ans

Small pin dots and holes can be repaired with the repair kit supplied with your vessel. Look for instructions in your manual. The repair kit is suitable for holes up to about 5 cm. For safety reasons, we recommend that you do not repair holes larger than 5 cm.

6 ) Are there any replacement parts for my vessel?

Ans

This depends on the type of vessel you have. Look at  www.jilong.nl  if there are parts for your vessel.

7 ) How hard should I blow my boat?

Ans

This differs by type. Next to each valve the desired air pressure is printed. That way, you know exactly how far you can blow the boat. Do not inflate the boat too much, this may cause internal and external damage.
