Your boat's buoyancy chamber is made of NEOPRENE CSM-CR 1670 decitex, 1500 gr/m².
The maintenance recommendations are specified in VOLUME I of the owner's manual.
II-2 INSTALLING THE BUOYANCY CHAMBER ON THE HULL
IF THE BUOYANCY CHAMBER WAS STORED AT A TEMPERATURE BELOW 0°C /
32°F, LEAVE IT AT 20°C / 68°F FOR 12 HOURS BEFORE UNFOLDING.
YOU CAN INFLATE THE NON-FITTED BUOYANCY CHAMBER (pressure 240mb)
AND LET IT STABILIZE FOR AROUND ONE HOUR. THEN DEFLATE IT.
NOTE: the buoyancy chamber is fitted to the hull with the buoyancy chamber deflated

Place the buoyancy chamber bolt rope (a) in the hull rail (b) starting with the front of the hull. Pull
the buoyancy chamber to bring it to the water guard near the transom.

Repeat for the other side of the buoyancy chamber.
The two protective flaps (sealing and exterior) should pass over the hull's nose.
