Never use high-pressure equipment to inflate your boat; Changes in ambient temperature have a significant influence on air pressure within the tube. A variation of 1°C results in a variation in pressure of about +/- 4 mb (0,06 psi). Silver Line S370N, S420N Owner’s Manual...
Page 96
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE If you discover a significant reduction in pressure, but do not see any obvious sources of leakage: o Step 1: check the inflation/deflation valves and overpressure valves. o Step 2: check the major seams. o Step 3: check the tube material from top to bottom. Contact your Dealer for advice if necessary.
Properly close the fuel system to avoid any vapour leaks. o If possible allow air to circulate within the boat, a breathable canvas cover will help. Winterize the motor, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Silver Line S370N, S420N Owner’s Manual...
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE 1. WHEN THE BOAT IS IN STORAGE MAKE SURE IT IS COVERED. 2. STORE THE BOAT AWAY FROM RODENTS. 3. AVOID SHARP FOLDS IN THE TUBE MATERIAL.
