IF THE TUBE HAS BEEN STORED AT A TEMPERATURE OF LESS THAN 0°C,
LEAVE IT FOR 12 HOURS IN A TEMPERATE LOCATION (AT 20°C) BEFORE
UNFOLDING IT.
YOU CAN INFLATE THE TUBE PRIOR TO MOUNTING IT (TO A PRESSURE OF
240mb) AND LEAVE IT TO STABILISE FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR. THEN
DEFLATE IT.
NOTE:
The tube is mounted on the hull when deflated.

Position the tube headline (a) in the hull rail (b) starting from the bow. Pull the tube until the water
barrier reaches the transom.

Proceed in the same way for the other side of the tube.
