BUOYANCY CHAMBER - Pressure
INFLATING THE BUOYANCY CHAMBER
•
Place the adapter corresponding to the diameter of the semi built-in valve at the inflator hose
nozzle.
Inflate the buoyancy mechanism, balancing the pressure between the different compartments until
the partitions (a) are no longer visible (pressure = 240 mb)
NEVER PUT A

Inflating is complete: Screw on the inflating valve caps.
NOTE:
A slight loss of air is normal before the cap is screwed on.
Only the caps guarantee final air tightness.
II-3-PRESSURE
The correct pressure for the buoyancy chamber is 240 mb/ 3.4 PSI
(middle of the green sector of
the pressure gauge).
Your boat is fitted with an
ACCESS pressure indicator which provides a quick, efficient readout
during inflation (see explanations for use in the "Inflation system" section).
The temperature of the surrounding air or
water will proportionally influence the level
of internal pressure in the buoyancy
chamber

pressure
+1°C +4 mb / 0.06 PSI
-1°C -4 mb / 0.06 PSI
Thus, it is important to anticipate:
Check and adjust the pressure of the inflatable compartments
(inflating or deflating according
to the case) according to the temperature variations (especially when there is a considerable
difference in temperature between morning and evening in particularly hot areas) and make
sure that the pressure remains within the recommended pressure range (from 220 to 270 mb /
green sector).
