!CAUTION
Do not use a compressed air source to fill air chambers. Over inflation may result in damaged seams and/or bulkheads.
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 diaphragm that separate the air chambers.
