Inflation Sequence - Walker Bay Genesis 310 FTL Handbuch

INFLATION
First time inflation - When inflating your boat for the first time, inflate all air
chambers evenly as directed in INFLATION SEQUENCE. Once the boat
is completely inflated release 50% of the air pressure in all chambers and
re-inflate all chambers to working pressure. This will allow fabric to settle
from packaging.
!
CAUTION
Do not use a compressed air source (ie. automotive tire air
compressor) to inflate boat/tubes. Over-inflation by a compressed air
source can rupture seams and/or bulkheads.
When using an electric pump to inflate your boat finish inflation
procedure with manual foot pump provided.
Air chambers must be inflated evenly and to correct working
pressure (Tubes: 0.25bar/3.5psi. Floor: 0.8bar /11.3psi).
Over a period of days tubes may lose pressure. Check pressure
before use and re-inflate chambers to working pressure if necessary.
Failure to do so could result in chafing or damage to tube or other
parts of boat.

INFLATION SEQUENCE

Using foot pump provided, inflate each chamber to approximately 50%.
This will protect the baffles which separate the chambers from unneces-
sary distortion and potential harm.
Finish inflating each chamber. The tubes should be "drum tight". Working
pressure of tubes is 0.25bar or 3.5psi.
FLOOR INFLATION (AIR MODELS)
Use high pressure setting on foot pump provided to inflate floor chambers
to working pressure of 0.8bar or 11.3psi.
!
CAUTION
Do not exceed working pressure of tubes or floor. Exceeding
working pressure can damage fabric, baffles, or seams and cause
loss of pressure.
CHANGES IN PRESSURE - ALTITUDE
!
CAUTION
Changes in air temperature will affect air pressure in tubes. Monitor
air pressure in tubes and adjust to maintain working pressure (see
INFLATION).
Changes in elevation or altitude will affect air pressure. In case
of changes of elevation or altitude, adjust air pressure in tubes
and/or floor to maintain working pressure. To prevent over-inflation,
decrease air pressure before transporting boat to higher elevation.
OPERATION OF VALVES
If this is the first time inflating tubes and/or floor, check that valves are
tight. Use tool provided in repair kit and gently tighten valves.
INFLATING - To retain air when inflating, release valves to "out" posi-
tion by pushing yellow button (a) and turning approximately 90 degrees
counter clockwise.
Secure valve with "cap" (b) when finished inflating.
DEFLATING - To release air from tubes remove "cap" (b) and position
valve in "in" position by pushing yellow button (a) in and turning approxi-
mately 90 degrees clockwise. Valve should remain in the "in" position.
!
CAUTION
Do not force valves. They may break.
INSTALLING SEATS
1. Inflate tubes to 50%.
2. Slide flanges on ends of seat between tube and webbing on tube.
3. Resume inflating tubes to working pressure.
