II -1-MAINTENANCE OF THE BUOYANCY TUBE Your boat’s buoyancy tube is made of NEOPRENE CSM-CR 1670 Decitex fabric, 1500 g/m². The maintenance recommendations are specified in VOLUME I of the owner's manual. II-2 INSTALLING THE BUOYANCY TUBE ON THE HULL If the buoyancy tube has been stored at a temperature below 0°C, leave it for 12 hours at room temperature (20°C) before unfolding it.
BUOYANCY TUBE - INFLATING THE BUOYANCY TUBE II -3-SECURING THE PROTECTIVE FLAP Fastening with inserts: Place the buoyancy tube and make fast the outer flap (buoyancy tube deflated) using the stainless steel bars and the screws supplied in the buoyancy tube kit. To ensure that the assembly is mechanically secure, apply medium strength threadlocker to the screws.

BUOYANCY TUBE - INFLATING THE BUOYANCY TUBE PRESSURE GAUGE WARNING! Do not use a compressor or compressed air cylinder. INFLATION 1/ Place all valves in inflation position. 2/ Fit the adaptor that matches the diameter of the "easy- push" valve to the inflation tube tip. 3/ Attach the hose connector to the inflation pump inflation valve.
BUOYANCY TUBE - PRESSURE c:240 mb b: 220 mb c:240 mb b: 220 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 buoyancy tube has 5 compartments. Each must be inflated to a pressure of 240 mb / 3.4 PSI. It is the buoyancy tube's correct pressure.
Release air by pressing the valve plunger PROPULSION SYSTEM III - Propulsion system Comply with ZODIAC's recommendations and the engine manufacturer's recommendations regarding engine fitting. For optimal use of your boat, please consult your dealer. The engine bolts must be fitted through the transom using a screw hole sealing procedure (e.g.: using Sikaflex sealant).
IV - How to drive your boat Before starting, refer to the Owner's Manual Volume I. NOTE: Check that the buoyancy tube is correctly inflated. Battery switch set to “ON” Fuel valve to "ON". Slide on and connect the stop switch Throttle lever on neutral.
