BUOYANCY MECHANISM - Pressure
II -4-1- Buoyancy mechanism inflation
•
Place the adapter corresponding to the diameter of the semi built-in valve at the inflator
hose nozzle.
Inflate the buoyancy mechanism, balancing the pressure between the different
compartments until the partitions (a) are no longer visible (pressure = 240 mb)
Never pressurise a
compartment when the
others are completely
deflated

Inflating is complete: Screw on the inflating valve caps
NOTE
:
A slight air leak is normal before the valve cap is screwed on
Only the caps guarantee final air tightness
II-4-2- Pressure
Operating pressure for the buoyancy mechanism is 240 mb/ 3.4 PSI
(middle of the green
zone of the pressure gauge).
Your boat is equipped with an
ACCESS pressure indicator that will enable you to read the
pressure quickly and efficiently during inflating (see explanations for use in the section
Inflating System).
The ambient temperature of the air or
Ambient Temperature Internal buoyancy

water proportionately influences the +1°C +4 mb / 0.06 PSI
level of internal pressure in the
buoyancy mechanism -1°C -4 mb / 0.06 PSI
