OPERATION

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 0.24 bar (3.5 psi).

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 to be deflated until the recommended air pressure is reached.

2. After inflation, install the valve caps tight (turn clockwise).

Drain Valve Operation

The inflatable boat will be fitted with one of two types of drain valves. A slide drain valve or a plug drain valve.
