BOAT DEFLATION AND FOLDING
DEFLATE BOAT AND PREPARE IT FOR THE NEXT AUTOMATIC CO2 - SCUBA INFLATION
WARNING!
When using
CO2
or SCUBA
compressed air
inflation system
When the boat is deflated, assemble the valve inserts and their caps. Set the
intercommunicating valve flywheels to the inflation position “red area” at 12
o'clock and most important, remove the caps from the overpressure valves. The
gases must run through the intercommunicating valves into the next chamber and
so on, to inflate chamber after chamber and the lower buoyancy tubes.
If one of the l/C valves were to be closed, “green area” at 6 o'clock, the gases
would not inflate the whole boat. There also is a possibility of damaging a boat
baffle beyond repair, because of this.
INFLATABLE BOAT STORAGE AFTER USE
To store the boat inflated:
•
Open the self bailers,
•
Rinse the boat with fresh water to eliminate sand and all particles,
•
Let the water out through the transom self bailers,
•
Store boat bow up, (5 to 10 degrees is sufficient, so it will self drain through it’s bailers, in case of rain,
•
Deflate keel if boat will be stored inflated for more than 24 hours (so as not to bow the thrustboard).
•
Once deflated, replace the keel valve cap and insert to avoid water penetration into the keel tube,
•
Unscrew the overpressure valve caps, so as to let the over pressure vent if necessary
•
Turn the boat upside-down for storage, to avoid particles and bird droppings from entering the boat.
WARNING
NEVER STORE OR ROLL-UP A BOAT THAT HAS NOT BEEN WASHED
AND DRIED.
NEVER STORE A WET, ROLLED-UP BOAT.
