Inflation
!
CAUTION
Do not use a compressed air source to fill air chambers. Over
inflation may result in damaged seams and or bulkheads. Seams
and or bulkheads ruptured from over inflation, are not covered
under the warranty.
IMPORTANT: Do not inflate or deflate one air chamber at a time.
When inflating or deflating, maintain a balanced air pressure
between air chambers to prevent stress or potential damage to the
inside diaphragms that separate the air chambers.

1. Unscrew the valve caps, turn a quarter of a turn
counterclockwise. Make sure the valve stems are in the closed
position. Push in on the valve stem and rotate to the closed
position.
2. Insert and lock the air pump fill adapter into the valve. Connect
the air pump hose to the fill adapter.
3. Starting at one of the air valves, inflate each air chamber in
turn inflating only a quarter of the way full. Repeat this
procedure to evenly fill the air chambers until the air chambers
are filled to the recommended air pressure of
0.24 bar (3.5 psi). Air pressure can be measured using air
gauge provided with the air pump or using an accessory air
pressure gauge.
