Outboard Power - Mercury Sport 220/240 Manual

c. Ensure that the valve stems are in the closed position. Push in on the
valve stem and rotate to the closed position.
d. Attach the air hose adapter to the air valve.
e. 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 0.25 bar (3.6 psi).
2. Unscrew the valve cap from the keel air chamber valve by turning a
quarter of a turn counterclockwise. Ensure that the valve stem is in the
closed position. Attach the air hose adapter to the air valve. Inflate the
keel to the recommended air pressure of 0.25 bar (3.6 psi).
3. After inflation, install the valve caps tight (turn clockwise).
NOTE: Always be aware of the air pressure in the air chambers. The air volume
inside the air chambers will expand as the internal air temperature rises; this
will cause the air pressure to fluctuate depending on water temperature and
weather conditions. A boat that is correctly inflated may experience a drop in air
pressure and require additional air when temperatures decrease; or it may
become over inflated when in direct sunlight or as the temperatures increase.
This will require the air chamber to be deflated until the recommended air
pressure is reached.
