BUOYANCY CHAMBER –INSTALLING THE
BUOYANCY CHAMBER ON THE HULL
II-1-FITTING 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-INSTALLED 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 tube
deflated.
1
To facilitate the positioning of the buoyancy chamber, apply liquid soap (A) to the hull rails.
2
A B
Position the buoyancy chamber’s (b) bolt rope (a) on the hull’s rail.
3
- Pull the buoyancy chamber towards the boat’s stern. (do not forget to guide the upper bolt
rope (C).
- Repeat for the other side of the buoyancy chamber

After fixing the internal protective flap on the hull, pull the buoyancy chamber gently
towards the forward section in order to pass the external protective flap over the forward
nose (do not attach it at this point). Then pull the buoyancy chamber towards the aft end.
NOTE:
The external protective flap should be fixed on
after the buoyancy chamber has been inflated
THEN BEGIN INFLATION

INFLATING THE ENGINE
Activate all valves in the inflation position.
Attach the hose connector to the inflation pump inflation port.
To inflate your boat properly, the inflation pump should be correctly placed on the ground.
The boat inflates rapidly if the inflation pump is used smoothly and without haste.
WARNING
DO NOT USE A COMPRESSOR OR COMPRESSED AIR CYLINDER.

BUOYANCY CHAMBER - PRESSURE
INFLATING THE BUOYANCY CHAMBER
•Place the adapter corresponding to the diameter of the semi built-in valve at the inflation
pump hose nozzle.
Inflate the buoyancy chamber, balancing the pressure between the different compartments
until the partitions (a) are no longer visible (pressure = 240 mb)
Never put a compartment
under pressure while the
others are still fully
deflated.

When you have finished inflating: Screw on the inflation valve plugs.
NOTE:
A slight loss of air is normal before the cap is screwed on.
Only the plugs provide final airtightness.

BUOYANCY CHAMBER - PRESSURE
CORRECT PRESSURE
The correct pressure for the buoyancy chamber is 240 mb/ 3.4 PSI.
The ambient temperature of the air or the
Ambient temperature
Buoyancy chamber
internal pressure
water proportionally influences the
internal pressure of the buoyancy
chamber:
+1°C
+4 mb / 0.06 PSI
-1°C
-4 mb / 0.06 PSI
Thus, it is 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 hot regions) and check that the pressure does not
leave the recommended pressure zone (from 220 to 270 mb / green zone).
LOW PRESSURE RISK:
EXAMPLE: Your boat is exposed to direct sunlight on the beach (temperature=50°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.
RISK OF OVERPRESSURE:
EXAMPLE: Your boat is inflated to its recommended pressure (240 mb/3.4 PSI) at the
beginning or end of the day (low outside temperature = 10°C). Later in the day, your boat is
left in the sun on the beach or on the deck of a boat (temperature = 50°C) The temperature
inside the inflatable compartments may rise to 70°C (particularly for dark buoyancy chambers),
doubling the initial pressure (480 mb). YOU WILL THEN NEED TO DEFLATE the boat to
return to the recommended pressure.
WARNING
IF YOUR BOAT IS OVERINFLATED, THE PRESSURE WILL ABNORMALLY
WEAR THE INFLATABLE STRUCTURE WHICH MAY LEAD TO A BREACH
OF THE ASSEMBLY.
