INFLATABLE TUBE - Pressure b: 220 mb c: 240 b: 220 mb c: 240 mb NOTE: A slight loss of air is normal before the cap is screwed on. Only the plugs provide final airtightness. II-5 PRESSURE The inflatable tube has 5 compartments. Each must be inflated to a pressure of 240 mb / 3.4 PSI. It is the inflatable tube's correct pressure.
Page 21 SPECIAL CARE FOR HULL III- SPECIAL CARE FOR HULL The eJET450 is a GRP hull with a polyurethane coating finish. To prevent hull from gel coat blistering and to increase hull life, it is recommended you take the boat out of the water after each outing and you clean the bottom of the hull with fresh water. Once a month, it is recommended to clean the boat with neutral soap.
Page 22 INFLATABLE TUBE - Pressure RISK OF OVERPRESSURE Example: Your boat is inflated to its recommended pressure (240 mb/3.4 PSI) at the beginning or end of the day (low outside temperature = 10°C). Later in the day, your boat is left in the sun on the beach or on the deck of a boat.
