    BOAT ASSEMBLY ASSEMBLE THE BOAT ON A SMOOTH CLEAN SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE DECK ASSEMBLY Illustrations in APPENDIX page A-6 The H2P, 70 – 2¾”, High pressure floor (Fig 1) is a fast deployment inflatable structure designed to work with the FC 470® Evo 7, whose main attribute is to be inflated completely with a 100ft³ off the shelf SCUBA bottle.
  • Page 8 12 o'clock and verifying the boats pressure with the pressure gauge by inserting it into any one of the I/C valves and topping up boat if necessary. ALL ZODIAC BUOYANCY TUBE OPERATIONAL PRESSURE MUST BE 240 mbar = 3.4 PSI (+/- 5%)
  • Page 9 AIR PRESSURE Before checking the boat’s air pressure, turn all I/C valves to the NOTE "INFLATION POSITION" (“red area”). at 12 o’clock, Operating pressure for the buoyancy tube and the keel is 240 Mbar / 3.4 PSI (+/- 5%) Operating pressure for the H2P is 1100 mbar / 15.95 PSI (+/- 20%) How to foresee pressure changes: Check and adjust the pressure in the compartments (by inflating or deflating) when noticeable temperature changes occur, especially in tropical areas where important temperature variations occur between morning and night.
  • Page 10 AIR PRESSURE (CON’T) RISK OF OVER PRESSURE OR OVER INFLATION Example: The boat is inflated to the recommended pressure (240mb / 3.4PSI) at the beginning or end of the day, low outdoor temperature =10°C/50°F. Later in the day, the boat is exposed to full sunlight 50°C/122°F, either on the beach or on deck.

  • Page 19 OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES (CON’T) INFLATION WHILE SAILING: When sailing, you can selectively reinflate the buoyancy chamber or the deck. Inflating the buoyancy chamber, the keel or the small buoyancy chambers: Remove the plugs from the buoyancy chamber overpressure valves. Close the deck inflation valve on the quick inflation system. Check that both buoyancy chamber inflation valves are open.
