II-2 INSTALLING THE BUOYANCY TUBE ON THE HULL
1
In order to facilitate the fitting of the buoyancy tube, apply liquid soap to the hull's rails (A).
2
Place the buoyancy tube bolt rope (a) in the hull rail (b) starting with the front of the hull. Pull the
buoyancy tube to bring it to the water guard near the transom.
3
Repeat for the other side of the buoyancy tube.
The two protective flaps (sealing and exterior) should pass over the hull's nose.
If the buoyancy tube has been stored at a temperature below 0°C, leave it for
12 hours at room temperature (20°C) before unfolding it.
You can inflate the non-installed buoyancy tube (pressure 240 mb) and let it
stabilize for around one hour. Then deflate it.
NOTE: the buoyancy tube is fitted to the hull with the buoyancy tube
deflated
