Valve: Inflation / Deflation
How to lock the valve in the OPEN and CLOSED position:
Remove the top cap and...
To OPEN: Push down and turn the gray button (in
the center of the valve). It should lock down. This
allows air in and out. Use for quick inflation (electric
pumps) and deflation.
To CLOSE: Push down and turn on the gray button.
It should pop back up. Use this position when using
hand pumps to fill, or to top off the pressure after the
electric pump.
NOTE: You may want to test opening and closing the valve several times
to get used to it.
QUICK INFLATION: Put valve in the OPEN position. Cover the opening
with the hose from an electric pump or shop vac. Fill with air. Once the
pump has reached its maximum pressure ability (or the mat has reached
the desired pressure), quickly CLOSE the valve. Finish topping off the
pressure with a hand pump.
HAND PUMP INFLATION: Put valve in the CLOSED position. Fill to the
desired pressure and remove the pump/adaptor from the valve by twist-
ing counter clockwise. No air should leak out from valve. If air does leak
the valve is in the OPEN position; twist the valve to the CLOSED position
and finish inflating.
ADJUST PRESSURE: To let pressure out, push down slightly on the gray
button.
*NOTE: Valve should always be in the
CLOSED position when done inflating,
then re-attach the top cap before using.
