2. HOW TO INFLATE/DEFLATE AND ASSEMBLE
THE FLOAT TUBE
Maximum infl ation pressure:
SLIDER (High Pressure Models):
• 1 bar/14,5 psi for the main shell and seat.
• 0,25 bar/3,6 psi for the small side tubes.
SIKKARIO / GUARDIAN / VENDETTA (PVC Models):
• 0,25 bars/3,6 psi for the main tubes.
•1 bar/14,5 psi for the high pressure fl oor and seat (not available in all models.
Check whether your fl oat tube has this feature).
• Infl ate only with a HART pump. Other systems could damage the fl oat tube
or even cause it to burst due to overpressure.
• NEVER USE the infl ation pumps available at service and petrol stations.
How to infl ate the fl oat tube:
1. Choose a site with enough room and spread out the PVC shell. You need to bear in
mind that, once infl ated, the fl oat tube takes up more room than when defl ated.
2. Check that the site is free from sharp edges or objects that could puncture the PVC
during infl ation, handling or moving it to the water.
3. Open the cap on each of the valves and give the inner round stem 1/4 of a turn
counter-clockwise to open the airway. It should then be in the "air inlet" position. In this
way, no air will escape once the pump is removed from the valve opening.
4. Infl ate each of the air chambers up to approximately
half capacity. This will allow you to mount the fl oor
and seat between the two sides. For the high pressure
Slider model, the main structure and the side tubes
should be fully infl ated (taking care not to exceed the
maximum pressure levels).
5. If your fl oat tube model includes a high pressure
fl oor or seat, then these should be fully infl ated and
