Assembly

The inflation instructions below will vary depending on the model you have purchased:

1. Spread the nylon cover out on the floor.
2. Unzip the opening on the cover when applicable.
3. Gently inflate the safety chamber of the PVC tube.
4. Insert the PVC tube through the zipper opening on the cover. Be sure to align the Boston valve on the PVC with the round opening on the cover.
5. Grab the edge of the tube and the edge of the cover and shake them up and down together to smooth out the PVC tube inside. Keep the Boston valve aligned correctly as this will make the inflation of the tube eas-ier.
6. When applicable, zip the cover closed before full in-flation. Make sure the zipper does not catch the PVC tube.
7. Inflate the main chamber of the tube using a high-vol-ume/low-pressure pump.

CAUTION

If you notice a slow air leakage, make sure that the valve end cap is installed straight and tight and the valve is not cross threaded. Please make sure not to overinflate the tube. The tube should be full, but not too firm. Overinflation could rup-ture the tube.
