CAUTION
Any use of a high pressure air pump or compressor,
independent of the type, or exceeding the operating pressure,
will automatically invalidate all warranties.
2. Each of the hulls is equipped with a safety valve.
3. Please note: the safety valve is a two-way safety valve and consists of
two main parts. The inner part with the threaded valve (safety screw)
and a covering cap. To open the valve fully, press the safety screw
inwards and turn it clockwise to the right until you feel the stop. To
pump up the hull, push the appropriate pump hose nozzle into the
opened valve. To close the valve, remove the pump hose and turn the
safety screw anticlockwise to the left until the screw slots in. After this
you can pump further against the closed valve with the hand pump
until you achieve the operating pressure of 0.3 bar – check this with the
manometer supplied. To release air from the hulls, open the valve cap,
press the safety screw inwards firmly and turn this clockwise to the
right until it slots in. The round covering cap makes the valve absolutely
airtight as long as it is screwed onto the valve tightly. The hulls should
never be fully pumped up until the
smartkat is completely assembled.

4.
You will find that the smartkat is much easier to assemble if you
initially inflate the hulls to about 30% of their volume. This is particular
recommended when assembling the
smartkat for the first time (01) .
5.
Only pump up the hulls after completely assembling the trampoline –
see ‘Section 6d’ – and use the manometer supplied to check that you
achieve the final pressure of 0.3 bar.
6.
To completely assemble the smartkat , please read and carry out
exactly the following instructions.
a)
Unpack the two carrying bags and place the parts of the smartkat
onto a free area that is clean and free of pointed or sharp stones and
objects, laying the individual parts where they will be close to hand.
b)
Ensure that all cables, ropes and wires are not tangled and are free of
knots or loops and not wrapped around any smartkat parts.
c) Unfold the two hulls and place them parallel to each other at a
distance of about 2 metres apart.
