2 Set Up and Inflation
2.1 Set Up
1. Pull the Lotus YSUP™ out of its bag and un-fold it.
2. Locate the Fin holders on the bottom side of the board at the tail end. Take each Fin and hook them into place
making sure that the longer portion is going towards the end of the board. You will need to bring the two Fin
holders close together in order to get each Fin hooked into place. See images 1 and 2.
3. Once the Fins are in place, turn the board over so that the valve at the front of the board is facing up.

2.2 Inflation
Pump Set-up:
Your Single Action Hand Pump comes with a removable pressure gauge that needs to be attached to the pump before
use. Note: When the pump is stored, it is recommended that you detach the pump gauge and store it somewhere that
the gauge will be protected from being crushed or damaged.
1. Attach the gauge housing to the T-Handle of the pump.
2. Attach the pump hose to the gauge housing.
Inflation
1. Remove the cap from the valve and check to see if the stem in the center of the valve is up (sticking up out of
the valve) or down (even with the inner rim of the valve). The stem of this valve must be in the up (inflate)
position to inflate the SUP. If the valve is not in the inflate position, use your finger to push in and turn the stem
counterclockwise a quarter turn and it will spring up into the inflate position. SEE IMAGES 3 AND 4.
2. Seat the valve adaptor included with the SUP Pump onto the valve turning clockwise to lock the adaptor into
place.
3. Inflate the SUP to 8.0 psi. Make sure that you do not exceed 9.0 psi or you will damage the SUP.
4. Once you are done inflating the SUP, disconnect the valve adaptor by turning counterclockwise and close the
valve using the attached valve cap. Make sure you lock the valve cap into place by turning clockwise.
