AIR ASSIST SYSTEM V3 ( RIGID TANK )
BATTERY
SPACE
*Make sure to apply “anti-seize” grease to the threaded rods and nuts to insure that they will be easy to dismantle, if needed in the future.
10-You may now connect the long air hose to the elbow fitting that is fixed on the air tank.
***Manually tight the fitting until snug, without exaggerating.
11-You can now procede to securing the air hose allong the side of the
system using the provided aluminum brackets and regular “tie raps” .
Simply remove the lug connector, insert the aluminum bracket and
reinstall the later prior to fixing the hose with the “tie raps”.
*We strongly suggest to pair your battery to a charge keeper of a solar panel to insure sufficient power to your battery,
at all time. Simply ask your Candock distributor if you should need additional information on the subject.
12-The final step of your assembly consists of placing a fully charged
deep cycle “marine grade” 12 Volts battery inside the Control Box.
Complete by connecting the red clip to the positive pole of the battery
and the black one, to the negative pole.
3- PUMP AND BATTERY INSTALLATION
The system is designed to be powered by a 12 V battery (not included). Just put the
battery in the Control Box and connect to the pump using the alligator clips of the pump.
We recommend using a solar panel or charge keeper or a solar panel to insure sufficient
battery charge at all time. Simply ask your Candock distributor if you should need
additional information on the subject.
4-OPERATIONNAL INSTRUCTIONS (INFLATING/DEFLATTING PROCEDURE)
***For adequate instructions in regards with driving up and down of the system, please refer
to the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS of this manual.
1-Position the valve system to its “INFLATE” configuration (keep the upper valve in an
“opened” position and the lower valve in a “closed” position). SEE PICTURE
2-Activate the pump for a brief moment just to make sure it properly works. If it does work,
proceed. If the pump does not work, double check its connections and/or contact your
closest Candock distributor for assistance.
3-Activate the pump for approximately 30 seconds, then, place the valve system to its
“CLOSED” configuration (quickly close the upper valve of the Control Box) and switch the
pump off.
4-Now, in order to insure a completely air and water tight circuit (Air hose, fittings (2) and
Control Box), use soapy water and make sure the whole system doesn’t leak in any ways.
Check the fittings, joints and any other potentially breached component. For components
below the water line, check for bubbles
5-To complete the berthing procedure, re-position the valve system to its “INFLATE”
configuration, reactivate the pump and carry on with the inflation of the tank for 5 to 6
minutes or until the watercraft is at a desired height from the water line (the vessel and its
engine should be completely out of the water). If the inflation procedure is stretched to an
excess of 6 minutes, you should see “air bubbles” coming out the rigid tank, this will indicate
that you’ve reached the maximal lifting capacity of the system. You may now position the
valve system to its “CLOSED” configuration (close the upper valve of the Control box) and
deactivate the electric pump.
6-Finally, to initiate the launching procedure, simply position the valve system to its
“DEFLATE” configuration (open the lower valve of the Control box) until air is completely
out of the tank ( this should take about 5 to 6 minutes ).
