Understanding Air Temperatures
It is important to understand that the air pressure in your inflatable will fluctuate depending on air
and water temperatures. Heat causes air to expand while cooler temperature causes air to condense.
When you first inflate your product, the air going into it will likely be warm. Let the product acclimate
to the cooler water or outside temperature and add some air if necessary before using.
Likewise, when the sun comes out and the temperatures rise, the air inside your inflatable will
expand. On very hot days, you will need to release some air to prevent your product from damage due
to over-pressure.
Add or release air accordingly throughout the day as temperatures change to maintain proper
firmness during use.
To provide maximum life to your product, avoid exposing to extreme temperatures (hot or cold).
Inflating and Set Up Instructions
CAUTION: DO NOT OVER-INFLATE.
• Inflation and set up should be done, or supervised, by a competent adult.
• Inflate slowly until most of the wrinkles in the material are gone and the air
chambers first feel firm to the touch. Do not continue to inflate past this point.
• Do not use air compressors or compressed air to inflate. Use of an air
compressor or over-inflation can rupture the product beyond repair, and voids
any warranty.
Step 1
Lay the product face up on a flat surface. Make sure there are no sharp objects under the product
which might puncture the vinyl.
Step 2
Locate the valves. The number and type of valve may vary with the
product.
Step 3
Using an electric inflator or hand pump, inflate the main (largest)
chamber first until firm. Close the valve by inserting the valve plug fully
into the valve body. Push it in so it is flush with the surface of the
product.
Step 4
If your product has additional air chambers, inflate in order of smallest to largest. Make sure the valve
plugs are fully seated into the valve body and the valves are depressed into the product.
