3. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS OF USE AND
MAINTENANCE
3.1 USE OF THE RIB
3.1.1
BOAT TUBE
Your boat can be equipped with any of the following flotation systems: (Air tube,
Foam tube, Hybrid tube with both system). Follow the recommendations on the
following sections when those correspond to your craft and do not take into
consideration those that are not applicable.
All other indications and recommendations in this manual are applicable to any
type of tube described regardless of which one has been installed on your boat.
A. AIR TUBE
To inflate the RIB, use the pump supplied. Before connecting the pump to the
valve, check the central pin is raised outwards (valve closed). If it is not, press
lightly with a finger and turn to the right.
Once the RIB is inflated, remove the pump tube and adapter and replace the
valve cap.
NOTICE – Never use compressed air systems for inflation: this could
damage parts of the flotation tube and even cause it to burst.
