IMPORTANT! Inate the product chambers in the following order:
1. Inate the oor chamber(s).
2. Inate the outside main chamber(s).
The chambers on the product will also be numbered to indicate
order of ination. This order of ination will ensure the proper volume
and buoyancy of the safety chamber.
Note: To inate the mini Double Lock™ valve, which is used on
some of the Sevylor® product oors and seat bottoms, follow the
same ination instructions above or previous instructions, using the
mini Double Lock™ valve adapter. The mini Double Lock™ valve
adapter is included with all Sevylor® pumps. The adapter can be
purchased from Sevylor Customer Service by calling
1-800-835-3278 (Part Number 5010000707).
Water temperature and weather does affect the pressure in
inatable products. In cold weather your product will lose some
pressure due to the fact the air will contract. If this occurs, you
may want to add a little air to improve your products performance.
However, in hot weather, the air will expand. You must let some air
out to prevent your product from failing due to overpressure. You
should avoid exposing your product to extreme temperatures
(hot or cold).
CAUTION!

Sevylor® QuickPump™ unit:
