Attach the airCap Tether
•Important! Orient bottom side of tether toward valve bod .
•Stretch the airCap tether over the valve bod . When properl installed, the tether should
rotate freel around the valve bod .
Inflate Your Watercraft
•Inflate our boat or SUP to proper pressure as specified b the manufacturer.
Insert the airCap
•Position the airCap with LCD facing out.
•Screw the airCap threads into the valve, making a seal with the valve bod . The make-
before-break seal is designed to prevent air from leaving our inflatable while the airCap is
inserted. Because of this, when inserting the cap, press the cap straight into the valve and
turn. More force will be required than is needed for the original valve cap.
•Tighten the airCap until no air leaks from the inflation valve.
Operation
•airCap will displa the inflation pressure whenever a suitable light source is present.
•See “Low Light Conditions” section for more information.
Low Light Conditions
•airCap will operate in most light conditions, even when it is cloud or overcast.
•If it is necessar to operate airCap after dark, a headlamp or flashlight will provide enough
light to power our airCap.
Pressure Range
•airCap will read to pressures of 20 psi (138 kPa, 1.38 Bar).
•Above this pressure, airCap displa s “OP” to alert the user that the watercraft is over
pressure.
