E - Prepare the EV/C2 two-component glue. Add catalyzer to the base component in a proportion of 5% by volume or 8%
by weight.
F - Having joined the two components, shake hard to mix them well. Use the glue by 2 hours.
CAUTION! OBSERVE THE SAFETY RULES AND REGULATIONS IN FORCE FOR APPLYING GLUE, SPECIFICALLY
READ THE GLUE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
WARNING: PERFORM REPAIR OPERATING WITH EVC2 GLUE IN THE FOLLOWING ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS:
TEMPERATURE > 5°C; RELATIVE HUMIDITY < 60%
G - Cut a patch of fabric approximately 1
''
larger than the puncture.
H - Apply a first layer of glue onto both sides to be glued together and wait for 5 minutes. It is advisable to delimit the area
where the patch will be applied with adhesive paper before starting. This will avoid dripping glue outside the repair area.
I - Apply a second layer and wait for other 5 minutes.
J - Apply another layer of glue and leave to dry for approximately 10 minutes before gluing.
K - Arrange the patch on the damaged part and make the two glued areas coincide.
L - Press hard, preferably with a roller, on the entire glued part.
M - Wait for at least 24 hours before re-inflating the part concerned by the repair.
5.3 REPAIRED PNEUMATIC ARCH TEST
Pour methylated spirits or soapy water on the repaired surface and examine the edge of the patch. Then:
A - Inflate the arch at working pressure (measure the pressure using the pressure gauge).
B - Check and restore initial pressure if required after one hour.
C - After one hour check with methylated spirits or soapy water for leakage of air from the repaired area.
5.4 PNEUMATIC ARCH REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
DISASSEMBLY
The arch is connected to the tent by means of special plastic material bolts with fastening wing. After deflating the arch to
be replaced, remove the bolts fastening the arch to the tent and arrange the wing so that it may pass through the hole in the
eyelet.
Figure 5.2 - Connection by means of wing bolt.
CAUTION! THE FRONT AND CENTRAL PNEUMATIC ARCHES COMPRISE THE PNEUMATIC SPACER CONNECTED TO
THEM BY MEANS OF BOLTS AND A CONNECTION VALVE: DO NOT REMOVE THE SPACER FROM THE ARCH TO
WHICH IT IS CONNECTED BY MEANS OF THE VALVE.
ASSEMBLY
Before assembly, check that the arch is positioned correctly and then put all the bolts in place while the tube is still deflated.
Inflate the tube after the operation.
