  • Page 14 BOAT INFLATION Activate all valves in the inflation position. Attach the hose connector to the inflator inflation port. To inflate your boat properly, the inflator should be correctly placed on the ground. The boat inflates rapidly if the inflator is used smoothly and without haste.
  • Page 15 BUOYANCY CHAMBER - Pressure INFLATING THE BUOYANCY TUBE 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 COMPARTMENT UNDER PRESSURE...
  • Page 16 BUOYANCY CHAMBER - Pressure RISK OF PRESSURE LOSS: Your boat is exposed to direct sunlight on the beach (temperature=50°C) at the EXAMPLE: recommended pressure (240 mb/3.4 PSI). When you launch it (temperature=20°C), the temperature and internal pressure of the inflatable compartments will drop simultaneously (up to 120 mb) and YOU WILL THEN NEED TO REINFLATE until you regain the millibars lost due to the difference between the ambient air and water temperatures.
