2. INFLATION/DEFLATION

2.1 INFLATION PROCEDURE
To inflate the craft, we recommend using the foot pump provided with the
standard equipment.
•
First of all, make sure plunger "A" of the valve is raised
(CLOSED). If this is not so, push and twist to the right.
•
Insert the tube of the foot pump into the valve, twisting the
safety bayonet-type attachment to the right, this will prevent
the tube separating from the valve when inflating. Once
inflated, remove the tube by twisting to the left and replace
valve cap.
2.2 INFLATION NORMS
Your craft has several independent compartments. Inflate each one, enough to give them some volume,
without putting in too much pressure. Then, once the craft has adopted its shape, inflate each compartment
to the full recommended pressure.
Tube Pressure
If you do not have a pressure gauge, keep inflating until you notice a firm resistance when using the foot
pump. Check the degree of rigidity of the inflated compartments, verifying their final pressure. If in doubt,
it is advisable to keep the pressure low than to inflate in excess.
