Leakage Path 2 (from the edge of the valve)
Using tool C16605, ensure that the valve is as tight as possible
with hand pressure only.
If the leak persists, unscrew the valve core and remove. Remove
the core and inspect the thread '0' ring seal and the condition
surface of fabric around the hole where the flange of the valve
contacts the fabric.
If the thread '0' ring seal or core seal are damaged they must be
replaced using the appropriate seal kit.

11.3.B. BREAKAGE
If the cap has been broken or the strap damaged, a new Cap/
strap assembly can be obtained from your spares supplier. The
loop securing the cap to the valve can be cut using a knife- being
careful not to damage you or the raft fabric. The new loop can
then be pushed over the retaining features (start with the
thickest part of the strap) and will clip into place securing the
cap firmly. Make sure the strap is the right way up before fitting,
so there are no twists in the strap when you screw the cap on.
If the core of the valve is broken it can be replaced. See the
previous section for information on how to remove and refit it.
