!CAUTION

Do not use a compressed air source to fill air chambers. Over inflation may result in damaged seams and or bulkheads. Seams and or bulkheads ruptured from over inflation, are not covered under the warranty.

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 diaphragms that separate the air chambers.
