5.1 MAIN CHAMBER VALVES
There is one valve per inflatable chamber and the valve itself is
split into two parts. By unscrewing the dust cap you will reveal
a small opening which is used for inflation. By unscrewing the
larger section of the valve you will reveal a larger opening used
for deflation (see above illustration).
Inflation is achieved by pumping air into the smaller opening.
This opening contains a no-return seal so air can only be added
via this opening.
Because the small opening has a no-return seal, the kayak
cannot be deflated by this opening. To deflate the kayak,
unscrew the larger section to open the larger opening through
which air can escape rapidly to quickly deflate the kayak.

To inflate the main side and floor chambers, use the push-fit
screw nozzle. This nozzle is one of a selection included with your
hand pump. Attach the nozzle to the hand pump tube via the
bayonet attachment and ensure it is tight.
