MAINTENANCE & INSPEC TIONS
GENERAL BOAT MAINTENANCE
0.003 bar (0.045 psi) per one degree Celsius (34 oF). It is
impractical to look for leaks which do not lower the pressure
beyond 0.003 bar (0.045 psi) per hour.
WARNING
Any important fall of pressure should immediately be checked
You must first determine exactly where the air is leaking from.
Please follow these instructions:
1.
Check that there is no sand or debris within the air valve.
2.
Make sure the valve gasket is in place.
3.
Inflate the buoyancy chamber.
4.
Close the cap on all valves.
5.
Rinse the boat with soapy water, including perimeter of
the inflation valves.
6.
Wherever bubbles appear, that is the location of the leak
to be repaired.
7.
Mark the area with a PENCIL, not a pen or a marker, as
these will stain the tissue.
8.
If your leak is located in the buoyancy chamber, please
read Repairing a Perforation or Rupture.
9.
If the bubbles appeared around the inflation valves, then
your valves are loose.
10.
The valves
have
a nut and bolt system. With the t u b e
deflated, hold the back of the valve through the fabric and
tighten the front. You may tighten the front either by hand or
you may insert the points of pliers and turn clockwise. USE
MODERATE STRENGTH.
11.
If no bubbles appeared either on the fabric or around the
valve when the buoyancy chamber was inflated, cover the
CLOSED cap of the valve with soapy water. If bubbles appear
then the valve must be changed.
12.
With the buoyancy chamber deflated, unscrew the front of
the valve and replace it with a new one.
13.
If none of the above applies, please contact your closest AB
dealer.
