B.
FOAM TUBE
Tube with high density foam core covered with fabric. The foam consists of a
single block made up of several pieces bonded to each other and covered with a
layer of the same material as on the air tube, this material also serves as the fixing
system for the whole tube to the hull. In this system the inflation and deflation
process described in paragraph A above is not applicable as this tube system
does not have air chambers or inflating/overpressure valves. This tube, being filled
with foam, shall not be affected in its flotation capacity in the event of damage
caused by punctures or partial tears.
However we recommend the repair of any damage suffered although it has not led
to loss of flotation capacity in order to keep the whole in good condition.
C.
HYBRID TUBE
The Hybrid Tube consists of a series of internal air chambers depending on the
length of the boat, covered with high density foam. This combination is covered by
a layer of outer fabric of the same material as the tubes described in paragraphs A
and B above.
For the use of the vessel and its tube apply the information described in points A
and B above.

OWNER´S MANUAL _ I N G – REV.J 06/22
WARNING - As a general rule:
Portable fuel tanks should be fastened down in order to
avoid blows and possible breakage while under way.
If there is a closed compartment for the portable fuel
tank(s), this must be well ventilated, far from any heat
source, and free of any type of electric accessory or part.
On refuelling, switch off the engine and, if possible, take
the tanks out of the RIB. Always refuel in the open air and
far from any heat source, sparks etc.
Do not fill the tanks to the full as the fuel increases its
pressure as the temperature rises. This may cause an
excess of pressure in the tank, making it break.
Do not store fuel tanks in compartments not specifically
designed for them.
