Before Use

Tube pressure will fluctuate with temperature. Inflate tubes in sequence to 250 mB/3.6 psi.
Failure to observe this will compromise the sea-keeping ability and watertight integrity of the
boat. Inflation valves are fitted with quarter-turn locks to enable rapid deflation.
CAUTION. Tubes must be inflated in the correct sequence to prevent
over-inflation.
• Set valves to shut and inflate tubes evenly, starting at rear/right, rear/left, then forward valves.
• Check bilge for fuel or water contamination.
• Tighten footwell drain plugs.
• Ensure towing valve is set in open position.
•
Check engine cover latches are secure.
