Welcome to the STAR family of boat owners. We take great pride in building high-performance inflatables that
provide many years of enjoyment. Give us a call at 800.635.5202, or drop us a line at star@nrs.com, if we can
help in any way. We love talking about boats!
Please take the time to read through this manual to familiarize yourself with the features of your new inflatable,
and the techniques for proper care and maintenance. This will assure you the years of service for which your
STAR was designed. Also, be sure to register your boat in our database; this information is included at the end
of this manual.
INFLATION
To inflate, valves need to be in the closed position. Push the valve stem in and turn clockwise so the stem pops
up, sealing the valve.
We highly recommend purchasing a pressure gauge; maintaining optimum pressure in your boat's chambers is
essential to its best performance and longevity.
Inflating Rafts:
To properly inflate the perimeter tubes on your STAR raft, choose a chamber to inflate first. Fill the chamber with
air until it takes shape, filled out but not firm. Your goal is to get equal pressure on both sides of the baffles that
separate the chambers.
Work your way around the boat, turning each valve stem clockwise to seal the valve before filling each
chamber evenly. Then go around the boat again, using a hand pump to fill each chamber to full pressure. If you
have a pressure gauge (which we highly recommend), check to make sure the pressure in the chambers does
not exceed 2.5 pounds per square inch (psi). If you do not have a gauge, check the pressure by pressing down
with your thumb. The fabric should depress slightly. If there is no "give," it's probably over-inflated. After the
perimeter chambers are full, inflate thwarts to 2.5 psi. On boats with a drop-stitch floor insert, the floor should
be inflated to 8 psi.
Inflating Catarafts:
STAR cataraft tubes have three chambers. To properly inflate the tubes, begin with the center chamber, filling
it until it takes shape; inflate the two end chambers to a maximum of 2.5 psi each. Then top-off the center
chamber to 2.5 psi.
