1- INFLATION

The empty and quick-fill cap is equipped with either a
1/4-turn air outlet blocking push-button valve (push-turn)
or a single-acting air outlet blocking push-button pressure
(push-push, for references C52 – C73 – T52 – T73).
Make sure before inflation that the valve is in the elevated
position. Once the fender is inflated, be sure to replace the
closing cap. Inflation can be performed using a manual or
volumetric pump or turbine for faster inflation, the choice
is available on our website.

3- BALLASTING

A

In case of prolonged berthing (several months)
and/or in the prevention of a strong wind, you can pour 1
to 3 litters of water in the fender, according to the size of
the fender, in order to weight it: from C52 to C73 = 1/2 L,
from C84 to C124 = 1 à 2 L, from C145 to C248 = 3L

Put a rope in the lower rings of the fender and

B

connect it to the ship's rail (see diagram below).

4- DEFLATION

To deflate, open the closing cap,
and position the valve in the
down position by performing
the appropriate movement
(push-push or push-turn) to
maintain a permanent deflation.
Roll the fender on itself from the bottom
to extract the air completely. Reposition
the valve in the up position and replace
the closing cap.

5- STORAGE

The fender should be stored preferably
rolled. This optimizes a maximum of
space on board.

Rolled up

6- ADEQUACY

The size of your FENDERTEX® fender must be in
adequacy with the size of your boat to match safe
cushioning. A recommendation table on our website
www.fendertex.eu advises you on the choice of sizes and
number of fenders needed for your boat.

7- WASHING

Close the inflation valve and the closure cap, making
sure that no deposit reduces its waterproofness.
Surround the stainless steel rings with a textile to prevent
them from damaging the washing machine.
The fender is ready to be put in the washing machine at
40°C with clothing detergents and detachers.

For other non-clothing cleaning products, remove the
inner tube to wash only the textile envelope

8- REASSEMBLING

1

Roll both sides of the inner tube from the welds.

2

Insert the inner tube into the textile envelope, taking
care not to twist the inner tube. The hook and loop strips of
both parts must follow the same line.

3

Position the collar to grip the two parts of the fender.
The top of the valve should be at the same level as the
seam of the hem. Inflate the fender to fully position the inner
tube in the textile envelope (then it can then be deflated).
