RISK OF OVERPRESSURE
Example:
Your boat is inflated to its recommended pressure (240 mb/3.4 PSI) at the start or the end of the day
(low outside temperature = 10°C). During the day, your boat is exposed to bright sunlight on the beach
or on the deck of a yacht (temperature = 50°C). Temperature inside the inflatable compartments will
increase (up to 70°C) especially with a dark colour buoyancy chamber, causing the pressure to double
(480 mb). YOU WILL NEED TO DEFLATE to return to the recommended pressure.
SHOULD AN OVERPRESSURE OCCUR
Release air by pressing on the valve knob

WEAR THE INFLATABLE STRUCTURE WHICH MAY LEAD TO A BREACH
OF THE ASSEMBLY.
