TUBE – PRESSURE
OVERPRESSURE HAZARD
Example:
Your boat is inflated to its recommended pressure (240 mb/3.4 PSI) at the start or the end of the day
(low outside temperature = 10°C). During the day, your boat is exposed to bright sunlight on the beach
or on the deck of a yacht (temperature = 50°C). The temperature inside the inflatable compartments
may then rise as high as 70°C (especially with dark coloured tubes) causing the initial pressure to
double (to 480 mb).
YOU WILL NEED TO DEFLATE
to return to the recommended pressure.
CAUTION!
IF YOUR BOAT IS OVER INFLATED, THE PRESSURE WILL PUT TOO MUCH
STRESS ON THE INFLATABLE STRUCTURE AND MAY CAUSE AN
ASSEMBLY FAILURE.
SHOULD AN OVERPRESSURE OCCUR
Release air by pressing on the valve knob
PROPULSION SYSTEM

Propulsion system
Comply with the instructions provided by ZODIAC and with the instructions provided by the engine
manufacturer when mounting the engine.
For optimum use of your boat, please refer to your dealer.
Fitting the engine bolts through the transom requires applying a procedure for sealing the holes used
to fit the bolts (e.g. using Sikaflex sealant).
For boats that are not rigged by the builder, you will need to install an approved fuel filter between
the fuel tank and the engine.
