Maintenance; Repairing - Silver Marine Calypso 360 AL Manual De Instruccion

1. Inflate the boat to working pressure. At this time you do not need to install the removable boards,
seat, oars and outboard engine.
If wet, leave the boat to dry, but avoid leaving it directly in the sun. Any quality problem occuring from
long time in the sun without using it is not a product problem, and will not be covered by the warranty.
3. When dry, vacuum it in order to get any sand, gravel, rubbish or debris off the bottom, pay extra
attention to the inflatable keel and in the gaps between the floor and tube.
4. Clean the boat all over with ordinary soap and water and rinse thoroughly with fresh water.
5. Check the inflation valves, clean them and remove any sand or debris.
Your Silver Marine® boat comes with a repair kit for patching minor punctures. Through use you may
occasionally puncture your boat. Most leaks only take a few minutes to repair.
Leakage of Air: If your boat appears a bit sift, it might not be because of a leak, since any change in
temperature can cause modifications 0.003 bar (0.045 psi) per Celsius degree (34F). If the boat was
inflated late in the day, that air might cool overnight. The cooler air exerts less pressure on the hull, so
it could appear soft the next morning. If there has been no temperature variation, you need to first
determine exactly where the air is leaking. Please follow these instructions:
1. Check that there is no sand or debris within the air valve.
2. Make sure that the valve gasket is in place.
3. Inflate the buoyancy chamber.
4. Close the cap on all the valves.
5. Rinse the boat with soapy water, including perimeter of the inflation valves.
6. Wherever bubbles appear, that is the location of the leak to be repaired.
Small Repairs: Deflate your boat. Thoroughly clean (you can use vinyl cleaner for this purpose) and dry
the area to be repaired. For a small puncture (less than 1/8 inch) apply a small drop of glue. Let dry 12
hours.
If the bubbles appeared around the inflation valves, the valves maybe loose. The valves are a nut and bolt
system: with the tube deflated, hold the back of the valve through the fabric and use moderate strength
to tighten the front.
If no bubbles appeared either on the fabric or around the valve when the buoyancy chamber was inflated,
cover the CLOSED cap of the valve with soapy water. If bubble appears then the valve must be changed.
With the tube deflated, unscrew the front of the valve and replace it with a new one.
If the leak is located in the buoyancy chamber, please follow the below instructions:
Small Repairs: Deflate your boat. Thoroughly clean (you can use vinyl cleaner for this purpose) and dry
the area to be repaired. For a small puncture (less than 1/8 inch) apply a small drop of glue. Let dry 12
hours.
