the air pump hose to the fill adapter.
3. 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). Air pressure can be measured using air
gauge provided with the air pump or using an accessory air
pressure gauge.
