I-3-3 Lifting
The boat has 4 lifting points.
Contact an AVON dealer to obtain the approved AVON lifting sling.
WARNING
USE ONLY THE AVON APPROVED LIFTING RINGS AND SLING TO LIFT
THE BOAT.
WARNING
LIFTING MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY PROFESSIONALS.
DANGER!!!
NO PASSENGERS ON BOARD WHILE LIFTING.
WARNING!!!
ALL EQUIPMENT MUST BE UNLOADED FROM THE BOAT FOR LIFTING
OR DAVIT HANDLING.
BEFORE LAUNCHING THE BOAT, SWITCH ON THE BILGE PUMP TO
DRAIN ANY RAINWATER FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE BILGE (SWITCH
OFF THE PUMP THEN THE BATTERY SWITCH BEFORE LAUNCHING).

INFLATABLE TUBE –Installing the inflatable tube on the hull
II-1 MAINTENANCE OF THE INFLATABLE TUBE
Your boat’s inflatable tube can be made from 2 different fabrics :
•Carbon fabric : NEOPRENE CSM-CR 1670Decitex fabric
Or/and
•Other : NEOPRENE CSM-CR 1100 Decitex fabric
II-2 INSTALLING THE INFLATABLE TUBE ON THE HULL
IF THE INFLATABLE TUBE 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 INFLATABLE TUBE (pressure 240mb) AND
LET IT STABILIZE FOR AROUND ONE HOUR. THEN DEFLATE IT.
NOTE: the inflatable tube is fitted to the hull being deflated
1
In order to facilitate the fitting of the inflatable tube, apply liquid soap to the hull’s rails (A).
2
Place the inflatable tube bolt rope (a) in the hull rail (b) starting with the front of the hull. Pull the
inflatable tube to bring it to the water guard near the transom.
3
Repeat for the other side of the inflatable tube.
The two protective flaps (sealing and exterior) should pass over the hull’s nose.

INFLATABLE TUBE –Securing the internal protective flap
II-3 SECURING THE INTERNAL PROTECTIVE FLAP
4
Put the internal protective flap in place
5
Set up the tube and fix the internal protective flap (tube deflated) by using the screws and nuts
supplied with the tube kit. Apply sealing compound on all the screws and in the hull holes to achieve
watertightness.

INFLATABLE TUBE - Inflating the inflatable tube
THE PRESSURE GAUGE
WARNING!!!
DO NOT USE A COMPRESSOR OR COMPRESSED AIR CYLINDER.
INFLATION
1º/Place all valves in inflation position.
2º/ Fit the adaptor that matches the diameter of the "easy-
push" valve to the inflation tube tip.
3º/ Attach the hose connector to the inflation pump.
To inflate your inflatable tube properly, the inflation pump
should be correctly placed on the ground.
The chamber inflates rapidly if the inflation pump is used
smoothly and without haste.
4º/ Inflate the inflatable tube, starting with the first compartment (a) at the bow, to 200 mb
pressure.
5º/ Then inflate the midship chambers (b), to 220 mb pressure, read on the pressure gauge on the
first compartment.
6º/ Then inflate the stern compartments (c) to 240 mb, with the pressure gauge still on the first
compartment. The partitions (1) enable the pressure between each chamber to balance out.
7º/ Inflation is completed: screw on the inflation valve plugs.

Page 20 / 47
INFLATABLE TUBE - Pressure
NOTE: A slight loss of air is normal before the cap is screwed on.
Only the plugs provide final airtightness.
II-5 PRESSURE
The inflatable tube has 5compartments. Each must be inflated to a pressure of 240 mb / 3.4 PSI.
It is the inflatable tube's correct pressure.
The ambient temperature of the air or the
water proportionally influences the internal
pressure of the Inflatable tube.
Ambient temperature
Pressure inside the
Inflatable tube
+1°C
+4 mb / 0.06 PSI
-1°C
-4 mb / 0.06 PSI
It is therefore important to anticipate.
Check and adjust the pressure of inflatable compartments (by inflating or deflating) depending on
the temperature (particularly when temperature variations are high between the morning and
evening in particularly hot regions) and check that the pressure does not exceed the recommended
pressure zone (from 220 to 270 mb).
RISK OF PRESSURE LOSS
Example:
Your boat is exposed to direct sunlight on the beach (temperature=30°C) at the recommended
pressure (240 mb/3.4 PSI). When you launch it (temperature=20°C), the temperature and internal
pressure of the inflatable compartments will drop simultaneously (up to 120 mb) and YOU WILL THEN
NEED TO REINFLATE until you regain the millibars lost due to the difference between the ambient air
and water temperatures.
It is normal to observe a drop in pressure at the end of the day when the outdoor temperature drops.
