Advanced Elements FH202 - Manual (Page 4)

Use either a bellows style foot pump or two-way hand pump to inflate your
kayak. Be sure that the fitting on the pump hose fits snug in the valve on the
kayak. NEVER USE COMPRESSORS, CO2, OR COMPRESSED AIR AS
THEY MAY DAMAGE YOUR KAYAK.
2.1 Understanding Your Valves
1. The Adventure kayak uses standard Boston valves for inflation of the side
Main Air Chambers. The following figures give details on how to operate
these valves.
2.2 Inflation
Inflate your kayak in the following order: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR KAYAK. DO NOT
OVER INFLATE.
1. Inflate Chamber 1 until it feels firm to the touch.
2. Inflate Chamber 2 until it feels firm to the touch.
3. Inflate chamber 3, “floor”, (using appropriate fitting). Fill with air until firm.
CAUTION: Do Not Over Inflate. The floor should still be a little soft, not
rock hard.
