AIR PRESSURE (CON’T)
IN CASE OF UNDER PRESSURE OR UNDER INFLATION
Top the boat up to its recommended pressure.
Standard valve:
Unscrew the valve cap,
Inflate to adjust the pressure,
Check pressure with pressure gauge,
Screw back the valve cap manually & tighten firmly.
I/C Valve:
Turn all I/C valve flywheels to the inflation position, (red area) @ 12 o’clock,
Unscrew both butterfly wing nuts on the lower buoyancy tubes,
Unscrew any valve cap, and place the pressure gauge in that valve insert,
Unscrew the valve cap on the valve opposite the pressure gauge,
Insert the foot pump hose into that valve,
Inflate to adjust the pressure, while monitoring the pressure gauge on the other side of the
buoyancy tube, until correct and desired pressure is reached.
Turn all I/C valves to the “navigation” position (“green area”) @ 6 o’clock,
Screw back the valve caps on both valves. The one with the pressure gauge and the one you
were pumping air into the boat.
Tighten the butterfly wing nuts on the lower buoyancy tubes.
Return the pressure gauge to the repair kit, where it should be, and return the repair kit to one of
the boat’s pouches, as it always should be with the boat. (Same as the foot pump and hose).
Always take both with you, on your sorties.
IN CASE OF OVERPRESSURE
Standard valve :
Remove the valve cap from the compartment
to be deflated,
Release air by pushing gently on the
diaphragm or membrane (1), using an object
that will not
cut or puncture, such as a ball point pen.
CAUTION : MAKE SURE THE DIAPHRAGM
DOES NOT FOLD OVER ITSELF,
Screw the valve cap back into position.
1
I/C Valve:
Unscrew a valve cap and place the pressure gauge in it,
Turn all I/C flywheels to the “inflation” position (“red area”) at 12 o’clock,
Pull on the flywheels to let some air escape, at the same time monitor visually the pressure drop
on your pressure gauge.
When your pressure gauge registers the correct pressure, unscrew the pressure gauge and
replace all valve caps,
Follow all recommendations in above paragraph “Under Inflation - I/C valves”.
