Choose a smooth and clean surface
IF THE BUOYANCY TUBE WAS STORED AT A TEMPERATURE BELOW
0°C / 32°F, LEAVE IT AT 20°C / 68°F FOR 12 HOURS BEFORE
UNFOLDING.
• Sprinkle some starch in the angle (joint of the buoyancy tubes to the bottom) to facilitate
fitting.
• Make sure you identify the parts and direction in which they fit:
- The floorboard consists of 3 main sections and 2 sections in the bow [fig 1 and 4].
- The bow sections have an upside and a downside.
1. Insert the bow section (1) into the bow angle.
2. Insert the rear section (5) against the transom (6) as show on fig 1.
3. Fit all sections together [fig.1].
4. Position sections 3 and 4 as an apex (in a tent-like position) [fig 1 and 2].
5. Check that all sections are correctly aligned [fig 4].
6. Check that the floorboard is correctly fitted in the angles.
7. Flatten the apex by standing on it (in the boat) and pulling the lifelines to prevent the fabric
being pinched [fig. 2].
8. Assemble the stringers (see instructions bellow).
ASSEMBLY OF THE STRINGERS
The stringers are essential to good working of the boat: they lock the floorboard together and
rigidify its structure.
1. To facilitate the fitting of the first stringer, slide the other stringer under the boat, about 20
cm ( 8'' )from the side [fig. 3-a].
2. Position the stringer on the edge of the floorboard. The thicker part should be towards the
top [fig. 3].
3. Fit the stringers between the two buffers (9) of sections 3 and 5 [fig. 4].
4. Rotate the stringer in the angle so as to press them against the bottom [fig. 3-b and 4].
5. Because of the self-locking system of the floorboard, the stingers will fit into place once
the buoyancy tube is inflated.

(TYPHOON 285 - 305 - 335 - 380 - 420)
CAUTION, NEVER USE TALCUM POWDER.
DO NOT PUT THE STRINGER IN POSITION UNDER THE BOAT UNTIL
THE FLOOR IS FLATTENED.
