VALVE OPERATION
Follow the instructions below for valve operation and correct inflation and deflation procedures.
(This kind of valve is used for the boat hull, keel and air deck floor for BT-88850AD)
To close off the valve for inflation, make sure that the center
valve pin is in the “UP” position. If it is in the “down” position,
press down on the valve pin and turn it counterclockwise
until it pops up.
VALVE DIAGRAM
To open the valve for deflation, press down on the valve pin
and turn it clockwise so it locks down.
Be careful of any sand or debris around the valve area
when deflating as small particles could become airborne
with the release of the air pressure.
Always lock the valve cover over the valve stem when in
use. This will prevent accidental air release and entrance of
any particles into the air chambers.
INFLATION STEPS
1. Ensure the air valve’s center pin is properly in position by rotating the control stem until it pops
out. This ensures no air escapes during inflation.
2. Inflate the hull. After inflation, insert the provided pressure gauge into the air valve to check
the air pressure. The ideal pressure is 0.16bar - 0.25bar. (Fig. 1)
3. Inflate the keel (BT-88810, BT-88830 excluded)
Stop inflating until the pressure reaches 0.3bar. (Fig. 2)
