DAMPING BUOYANCY MECHANISM MAINTENANCE / DISASSEMBLY
MAINTENANCE: We recommend cleaning the damping
buoyancy mechanism regularly to avoid sand or shells
rubbing into the material.
To clean the damping buoyancy mechanism:
1. Deflate the damping buoyancy system
2. Release the lock
3. Hose down the area between the buoyancy mechanism
and the skirt, then lift the nose of the boat to let the water run
out. Repeat the operation until all the sand and has been
removed.
DISASSEMBLY: The damping buoyancy mechanism can be removed completely; however, this
operation requires specific tools and special precautions. For this reason, we recommend you ask
your agent to do it.
