c. Remove the valve caps by turning a quarter of a turn
counterclockwise.
d. Verify that the valve stems are in the closed position. Push the valve
stem in and rotate it to the closed position.

f. Starting at one of the air valves, inflate each air chamber a quarter of
the way. Repeat this procedure to evenly fill all of the air chambers
until they are filled to the recommended air pressure of 0.25 bar
(3.6 psi).
NOTE: Always be aware of the air pressure in the air chambers. The air
pressure inside the air chambers increases as the internal air temperature
rises; this will cause the air pressure to fluctuate depending on water
temperature and weather conditions.
A boat that is correctly inflated may experience a drop in air pressure when the
temperature decreases. Add air to the air chambers to increase the pressure
to the specified pressure.
Additionally, a correctly inflated boat may become over inflated when in direct
sunlight or as the temperature increases. This will require the air chambers to
be deflated until the specified air pressure is reached.
2. Fit the sides of the Air Deck
®
floor under the air chambers. Align the
forward hole over the keel air valve.
3. Remove the valve cap from the Air Deck
®
air chamber valve by turning it
a quarter of a turn counterclockwise. Push the valve stem in and rotate it
to the closed position. Attach the air hose adapter to the air valve. Inflate
the Air Deck
®
floor to the recommended air pressure of 0.25 bar (3.6 psi).
