TUBE INFLATION.
Before inflation of compartment it's necessary to set all valves in operating condition. In order to switch valve to
operating condition, just press spindle 6 (look before Fig. D3) with your finger and turn it clockwi se untill it is
fixed. If it isn't possible the valve is in operating condition already.
Fill the tube compartments with air using the pump from the complete set. First fill two rear compar tments, then
bow compartment. Thereat, do not bring the pressure up to its operating value (the tube will be comp letely
s traigh tened).
Then fill the bow compartment with air up to the rated pressure.
The rated pressure value is 0.15 bar (2.2 psi)
On completion of filling close the valves with caps.
In order to discharge air from the compartments, open the valves (just press spindle with your finger and turn it
anticlockwise till it is fixed).
Board air chambers are hermetical if they keep own form during 8 hours. In this case:
– primary pressure has to be nominal;
– input valves openings have to be tightly closed by caps.
The rated pressure value is 0.15 bar (2.2 psi).
If the tube pressure more than nominal, deflate the tube slightly. Boat exploitation with
board pressure more than nominal decreases boat service life.
Do not use compressors and/or other types of inflating equipments not approved by the
boat builder.
Check the tube pressure before every navigation.
