MAINTENANCE
The buoyancy tube of your boat is made of fabric using plastomer. Maintenance is easy but essential
for the longevity of your boat.
1. CLEANING
1.1 Clean your boat often, and always before wintering
Inflate the buoyancy tube
Open the self bailer and wash the boat with a hose to remove sand and other particles.
Clean with soap and fresh water.
Remove all traces of tar (use the ACCESS product from your dealer if required).
Check the tube and high pressure air floor for leaks, with foamy soap and water.
Rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly.
When deflating
Check that the valves and gaskets are clean and not damaged.
Check the self bailer is not clogged.
1.2 Check airtightness of your boat:
1.3 CLEANING OF THE HULL.
Wash the deck and hull with clear water and soap. Dry thoroughly.
Check the self bailer is not clogged.
Open the drainage holes caps to evacuate water.
NEVER USE HIGH PRESSURE CLEANING EQUIPMENT, IT IS LIKELY
TO DAMAGE THE BOAT.
NO STRONG DETERGENTS (ACID, TRICHLORETHYLENE…), SILICONE-
BASED PRODUCTS OR SIMILAR AGENTS TO BE PLACED ON TUBES.
IF A SPILL OCCURS, WASH OFF WITH WATER.
LOSS OF PRESSURE
Loss of pressure over 24 hours is not unusual. (ISO 6185 standard
permits a certain amount of pressure loss). Add air as necessary.
If loss of pressure exceeds 10 mb (0.14 PSI)/5 hours for buoyancy tube,
and 35 mb (0.49 PSI)/5 hours for high pressure air-floor: Check airtight-
ness of your boat.
Temperature has a great influence on air pressure. A variation of 1 C
results in a variation in the same way of about +/-4 mb (0.06 PSI).
If you have a problem with an air leakage: first, check all valves are intact
and in closed position (nothing clogging valve). Do not hesitate to contact
your dealer.
