DISASSEMBLY / MAINTENANCE
Disassembly / maintenance of the h2p floor
On folding, we recommend that you leave the H2P floor in place in the boat.
However, when cleaning the bottom of the boat, where sand and other kinds of residues can
accumulate, it is recommended to remove the inflatable floor. Proceed as follows:
•
DISASSEMBLY: Deflate the buoyancy tube and the H2P floor.
Open the floor/buoyancy tube fixation buckles.
•
MAINTENANCE: Slightly re-inflate the boat before rinsing with a water hose in between the
buoyancy tube and the bottom then lift up the nose of the boat to drain the water.
Repeat the operation until all sand and residues are removed.
BOAT DEFLATION / FOLDING
•
Remove all various equipment.
•
Deflate the boat:
−
Position all I/C valves on " inflation” (red zone),
−
Unscrew the valves.
•
Remove the floorboard, execute the assembly procedure in reverse.
•
Refit the valves on the I/C valves.
•
Remove the self bailer caps.
•
Rinse the boat with fresh water:
−
Partly inflate the boat in order to facilitate cleaning and drying operations,
−
Remove the sand and clean stains with soapy water,
−
Drain all water and leave the boat to dry before folding it.
•
Fold both sides of the buoyancy tube toward the interior of the boat (Fig. 1), bring up the
cones against the transom (Fig. 2) then fold the boat on itself around the transom (Fig. 3).
Start again if you notice that some air remains in the buoyancy tubes.
