CAUTION
Never use gasoline station air pumps or any other high pressure pump.
Pressure rises with the increase in temperature: 1°C increase in temperature means a 3 millibars increase in
pressure.
Therefore, the pressure will decrease once the craft is in the water or at night, and will increase when the
craft is warmed by excessive exposure to the sun.
For this reason, it is recommended that when the
craft is taken out
of the water, if it must be left lying in direct sunlight for hours, you SHOULD
REDUCE THE AIR PRESSURE to compensate for the expansion of the air.
NOTE: If your craft is fitted with pressure relief valves, they will automatically open at 0.27 bar, releasing
excess pressure above this value.
2.3 DEFLATION PROCEDURE
Remove valve cap, push plunger, twisting to the left, where it
will remain fixed in the "OPEN" position.
Once the craft is completely deflated, release plunger by
twisting to the right and replace valve cap.
2.4 PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
If your craft is fitted with pressure relief valves, never try to use
them as inflation/deflation valves, this could cause serious damage to them.
3. FITTING OARS AND PADDLES
3.1 OARS
Ocean Runner craft propelled by oars, are fitted with an oar safety
attachment system.
Insert the rowlock in the rowlock base with the blade towards the
bow. Then, adjust the length of the oar according to the user and
fix the system by turning the pressure nut.
When not in use, the oar blades can be secured with the elastic
band.
