INFLATION
1./
Set all of the valves to the inflation position.
2./
Fit the adaptor that matches the diameter of the "easy-
push" valve onto the end of the inflator hose.
3./
Fit the hose base to the inflation outlet on the inflator.
To properly inflate your tube, the inflator needs to be properly
placed on the ground.
The tube will inflate quickly if the inflator is operated smoothly
and unhurriedly.
4./
Inflate the tube starting with the first compartment (a) from the bow (front), until a pressure of
200 mb is reached.
5./
Then inflate the compartments (b) in the middle, until a pressure of 220 mb is reached, as read
on the pressure gauge left on the first compartment.
6./
Then inflate the aft compartments (c) to a pressure of 240 mb, still leaving the pressure gauge in
the same location. The partitions (1) allow balancing the pressure in each compartment.
7./
Inflation complete: screw the inflation valve caps back on.
