INSTRUCTIONS OF USE
VALVES
The Bluewave Glider has a recessed valve for each side chamber and the floor[1].
Remove the cap to access the valve [2]. Press and turn the valve counter clock-
wise so that it pops up [3,4]. This will close the valve and hold in air for inflation.
Turning the valve clockwise will open the valve for deflation.
PUMP
MAXIMUM AIR PRESURRE FOR THESE MODELS IS 10 PSI [8] – In extremely
warm weather you may wish to let some of the air out when not using to allow
for hot air expansion. AVOID over inflation as this will lead to your warranty
being declared invalid.
The high volume pump comes with a pressure gauge and a inflate [5] / deflate [6]
inlet. The pressure gauge will not move until you have reached the minimum
PSI [7]. You should feel the resistance in the pump when you start to reach the
correct PSI. The highest recommended PSI pressure will achieve the best per-
formance in your kayak.
DRAINS
Drains are a convenient way to drain accumulated water
from paddle splash and rain. Only open drains on shore.
WARNING Drains are not intended for use while on water.
INFLATION
Choose an area large enough to unfold [10] the Glider without hazards which
could damage the kayak or injure yourself. Make sure that you have the pump
hose inserted into the ‘inflation’ (‘OUT’) outlet [11]. You can inflate the sides or
floor in any particular order. The working pressure for walls and floor is 10PSI [14].
