BOAT INFLATION (CON’T)
INSTALLATION OF CO

INFLATION SYSTEM.
Remove the protection dust caps from the inflation points located on the buoyancy tube on both
sides of the transom,
Screw the CO2 high pressure hoses directly into the boat diffuser valves & tighten firmly,
Screw the hoses into the CO2 bottle “Tee” fitting & tighten firmly.
Make sure to use ‘O’ rings between each connection to avoid leaks or micro leaks.
Check that the boat’s I/C valves are ready for fast inflation (all I/C valves @ 12 o’clock in the red
position)
Bare in mind that unlike SCUBA air, CO2 is a nauseous gas, that must be used with precaution
and in a well ventilated area
Bare in mind that CO2 goes from a liquid (in the bottle) to gas and when it sublimes reaches
temperatures of minus 70ºC / minus 145ºF. Adequate eye protection and hand protection must be
worn when operating CO2 gases
WARNING
I/C VALVE POSITION FOR BOAT INFLATION
I/C VALVE POSITION FOR BOAT NAVIGATION
I/C VALVE POSITION FOR BOAT DEFLATION
INFLATION: turn all four I/C valve arrows to 12 o’clock, (inflation “red area”). This allows
gases to circulate throughout the boat during the inflation phase. Unscrew LBT wing nuts.
NAVIGATION: turn all I/C valves to 6 o’clock, isolate all compartments, screw LBT wing nuts.
DEFLATION: turn all I/C valve arrows to 12 o’clock and remove all valve caps and inserts.
BOAT DEFLATION
Turn the Intercommunicating valve flywheels, on all valves, to the INFLATION position (“red area”) or
12 o’clock.
The arrow on the intercommunication valve flywheel must be on the “INFLATION” position (“red area”)
at 12 o’clock
Unscrew all valve caps and insert from the main buoyancy tube, and store them in the valve
pockets,
Unscrew the keel valve or unhook the automatic keel inflation kit,
Unscrew the butterfly wing nuts from the LBT clamps,
Bring the main buoyancy tube toward the longitudinal center of the boat,
Use the boat’s bottom/hull as a rectangle, against which you will fold the main buoyancy tube,
Bring the boat cones on the transom and,
Roll the boat up, starting from the transom toward the bow,
Place the boat by lifting it, onto it’s carrying bag,
Fasten the carrying bag lashings.
*
Never drag a boat in its carrying bag by its handles, but rather lift it to displace it
