2 Inflating instructions
To inflate the boat properly, proceed as follows:
A) Make sure that the valves are in the sealing position - i.e. you must be
able to rotate the central pin rotate inwards by 7/8 mm and then return
it to the initial position. Otherwise the pin must be pressed and rotated
by a quarter of a turn
Deflation:
Unscrew the cap:
- press and release the central pin to adjust the pressure.
- press and rotate 90° the central pin of the inflate valve, to deflate the tube
completely.

The four valves for inner air chambers are located on the boat’s sides. The
valve for the only external air chamber is on the right tube, at transom
height.
Valliant ribs with PVC tube are equipped with inner chambers. Follow
these instructions in order to inflate the tube correctly
B) Start inflating the boat from the inner air chambers with grey valves
until you reach the operating pressure .

CAUTION
DO NOT use air compressors or scuba tanks to inflate your boat.
CAUTION
When inflating the inner air chambers, it is not possible to detect when the
correct operating pressure is reached (0,15 bars).
Therefore we recommend using a pressure gauge, available in Arimar’s
authorized centres, to avoid any overpressure.
C) Inflate the boat through the black valve until the recommended
pressure of the whole boat is reached. See section 3 for recommended
operating pressure.

Black Fin ribs with hypalon tube are equipped with baffle. Follow this
instruction in order to correctly inflate the tube
D) Start inflating the tube from the valve installed on the left side rearward.
E) To fully inflate the tube, move to the other valves clockwise. See
section 3 for recommended operating pressure.
F) Put and screw the caps clockwise
NOTE
Due to air leaks in one sector, the other may suffer from an internal
pressure-relieving, which in any case does not affect the boat’s floating

ENGLISH
VALVE OF OVERPRESSURE
Valve with protection plug Valve without protection plug
If the tube is inflated over the standard pressure or due to an excessive
rise of the temperature the valve of overpressure allows to discharge the
excess air present inside the tube.
It is recommended to pay the maximum attention during these operations
and always keep under control the action of the overpressure valves,
verifying the end of the aeration action and checking the pressure of
exercise through the manometer as reported in the paragraph “pressure of
exercise”.
CAUTION
For safety purposes, it is recommended to always follow the proper inflating
procedure

ENGLISH
3 Operating pressure
Use only Arimar inflation devices, provided with the boat according to the
model.
The right operating pressure is 18 kPa (0,18 bar) for external air chambers
and 15 kPa (0,15 bar) for inner ones.
WITH INTERNAL CHAMBERS (PVC) (the number of the inner chambers is
approximate)
WITH BAFFLE (Hypalon/neoprene)(the numbers of the chambers is
approximate)
CAUTION
DO NOT use air compressors or scuba tanks to inflate your boat.

ENGLISH
DANGER
An excessive inflation of the boat leads to a false sense of security
and is dangerous for passengers. In fact, the slightest scratch in the tubes
could cause huge breaks. Remember that any increase in temperature
leads to a decrease in the mechanical resistance of the boat’s joints and to
significant increases of inner temperature. Therefore, the joints – if
submitted to excessive mechanical stress - may suddenly break.
We recommend to use a pressure gauge to check the pressure of your
boat, which must be 18 kPa (0,18 bar and approx. 180 cm of column of
water) in the external air chambers and 15 kPa (0,15 bar and approx. 150
of column of water) in the inner air chambers. The pressure fluctuates with
changes in temperature and increases after
prolonged exposure to sunlight. For instance, a
10 degree variation in the ambient temperature
will cause an increase or a decrease in the inner
pressure of 3,18 kPa. The nominal pressure will
go from 18 kPa to 21,8 kPa
NOTE
Use of the pressure gauge:
a) Insert the pressure gauge into each valve, starting from the grey
valves.
b) The pressure gauge must be inserted when the boat is only partially
inflated.
c) Insert the pressure gauge into the valve to measure the pressure.
Then, inflate the boat more and measure the pressure again. Go on
until you reach the proper pressure.

ENGLISH
CAUTION
The boat’s pressure fluctuates with changes in temperature. Adjust the
pressure by inflating and deflating the boat, especially after prolonged
exposure to sunlight
The tube pressure decreases when the boat is in the water or during the
night, and increases when the boat is exposed to the sunlight. For this
reason, when the boat is being haulaged after a long exposition to the
sunlight, we recommend to reduce the tube pressure to balance the
overpressure.
DANGER
An excessive inflation of the boat leads to a false sense of security and is
dangerous for passengers. In fact, the slightest scratch in the fabric could
cause huge breaks.
Please also consider that the inner pressure raises when the ambient
temperature is high.
For example, the pressure of a boat which has been inflated in the morning
with a temperature of 25, at noon, when the temperature is 50/60°, there
will be twice the operating pressure in the tubes. Such increase in
pressure, if not avoided, can cause excessive strain of the mechanical
joints and might lead to sudden breaks.

(
1
) CAUTION – Do not overcome the max recommended number of persons. Apart from the number of people on board,
their total weight as well as the one of the crew can not overcome the max recommended load.
(
2
) The maximum recommended load includes the weight of all people on board, supplies and personal effects, all the
