If this is the fi rst time infl ating tubes and/or fl oor, check that valves are
tight. Use tool provided in repair kit and gently tighten valves.
INFLATING - To retain air when infl ating, release valves to “out” posi-
tion by pushing yellow button (a) and turning approximately 90 degrees
counter clockwise.
Secure valve with “cap” (b) when fi nished infl ating.
DEFLATING - To release air from tubes remove “cap” (b) and position
valve in “in” position by pushing yellow button (a) in and turning approxi-
mately 90 degrees clockwise. Valve should remain in the “in” position.
INFLATION
!
CAUTION
Do not use a compressed air source (ie. automotive tire air
compressor) to infl ate boat/tubes. Over-infl ation by a compressed air
source can rupture seams and/or bulkheads.
When using an electric pump to infl ate your boat fi nish infl ation
procedure with manual foot pump provided.
Air chambers must be infl ated evenly and to correct working
pressure (Tubes: 0.25bar/3.5psi. Floor: 0.8bar /11.3psi).
Over a period of days tubes may lose pressure. Check pressure
before use and re-infl ate chambers to working pressure if necessary.
Failure to do so could result in chafi ng or damage to tube or other
parts of boat.
OPERATION OF VALVES
!
CAUTION
Do not force valves. They may break.
CHANGES IN PRESSURE - ALTITUDE
First time infl ation - When infl ating your boat for the fi rst time, infl ate all air
chambers evenly as directed in INFLATION SEQUENCE. Once the boat
is completely infl ated release 50% of the air pressure in all chambers and
re-infl ate all chambers to working pressure. This will allow fabric to settle
from packaging.
INFLATION SEQUENCE
Using foot pump provided, infl ate each chamber to approximately 50%.
This will protect the baffl es which separate the chambers from unneces-
sary distortion and potential harm.
Finish infl ating each chamber. The tubes should be “drum tight”. Working
pressure of tubes is 0.25bar or 3.5psi.
FLOOR INFLATION (AIR MODELS)
Use high pressure setting on foot pump provided to infl ate fl oor chambers
to working pressure of 0.8bar or 11.3psi.
!
CAUTION
Do not exceed working pressure of tubes or fl oor. Exceeding
working pressure can damage fabric, baffl es, or seams and cause
loss of pressure.
!
CAUTION
Changes in air temperature will affect air pressure in tubes. Monitor
air pressure in tubes and adjust to maintain working pressure (see
INFLATION).
Changes in elevation or altitude will affect air pressure. In case
of changes of elevation or altitude, adjust air pressure in tubes
and/or fl oor to maintain working pressure. To prevent over-infl ation,
decrease air pressure before transporting boat to higher elevation.

1. Infl ate tubes to 50%.
2. Slide fl anges on ends of seat between tube and webbing on tube.
3. Resume infl ating tubes to working pressure.
