  • Page 43: Operating The Craft

    OPERATING THE CRAFT 4. OPERATING THE CRAFT TUBE INFLATION Inflation valve. The boat is equipped with a valve as shown in figure 14. Fig. 14. Inflation valve. To inflate the tube chamber, first open the valve cap by turning it about half a turn counter clockwise (fig.
  • Page 44 OPERATING THE CRAFT Valve cap Strap Spindle a) The valve is closed. b) The valve is open. Fig. 15. Design of the inflation valve. When the spindle is in the normal (closed) position, the valve operates as a check valve and opens when air is pumped into the tube.
  • Page 45 OPERATING THE CRAFT To inflate the tube chambers, use the foot pump (fig. 16) supplied. Fig. 16. Foot pump. Insert the end of the hose into the inflation valve using one of the appropriate adapters. Make sure the adaptor makes an air-tight connection with the valve and inflate using foot pump. To inflate the tube, you can also use a small electric boat pump.
  • Page 46 OPERATING THE CRAFT Begin the inflation procedure according to the sequence shown in figure 17. Initially, partially inflate each chamber (approx. 0.1 bar (1.45 psi) then repeat the procedure inflating each chamber to its nominal pressure, 0.15 bar (2.15 psi). The nominal pressure is 0,15 bar (2,15 psi).
  • Page 47 OPERATING THE CRAFT Valve caps protect the valves from accidental opening, provide a secondary seal and protect the valves from contamination. The valves require little maintenance. Keep them clean using a standard household cleaner. Remember that changes in ambient temperature will change the inflation pressure within the tube. A tube that is over-inflated in the morning can be damaged by a significant increase of temperature in the afternoon.

  • Page 48: Overpressure Valve (If Fitted)

    OPERATING THE CRAFT OVERPRESSURE VALVE (IF FITTED) Overpressure valves can be fitted to buoyancy tubes as shown in figures 18. It serves to protect the tube from over inflation and excess pressure build up due to solar heat. Without strainer With filter cap Fig.
