OPERATION

e. Starting at one of the air valves, inflate each air chamber

in turn, inflating only a quarter of the way full. Repeat this

procedure to evenly fill the air chambers until the air

chambers are filled to the recommended air pressure of

0.24 bar (3.5 psi).

NOTE: Always be aware of the air pressure in the air chambers.

The air volume inside the air chambers will expand as the internal

air temperature rises; this will cause the air pressure to fluctuate

depending on water temperature and weather conditions. A boat

that is correctly inflated, may experience a drop in air pressure

and require additional air when temperatures decrease; or it may

become over inflated when in direct sunlight or as the

temperatures increase. This will require the air to be deflated until

the recommended air pressure is reached.

2. After inflation, install the valve caps tight (turn clockwise).

Drain Valve Operation

The inflatable boat will be fitted with one of two types of drain

valves. A slide drain valve or a plug drain valve.
