II. PONTOON INFLATION
NOTE: Use the large cone Adaptor provided with your Pump. See figure 3b for a detail of the Valve Assembly. Before
inflation, be sure to fully seat each Valve Assembly into the Pontoon, screwing tightly by hand. When fully seating
Valve Assembly, be sure that the Valve Plate is in place around Valve Assembly and not restricting the Valve
Assembly from a full seal. After inflating, be sure to fully seat the top cap on to each Valve Assembly, screwing
tightly by hand. Both are required for an airtight seal.
1. Inflate each Pontoon. The Valve is located inside the Storage Pocket of each Pontoon.(see figure 3).
Inflate until firm (do not over inflate).

any length of time, or if it is stored in a vehicle, etc.
