How to inflate your float tube bladders
Float tube bladders are designed to be inflated by foot or hand pump.
To inflate Main Bladders:
Turn the valve cap on the valve stem
counter-clockwise to open the air way. After
inflation close the valve by turning the cap
clockwise (Fig. 1).
To Deflate:
DO NOT REMOVE CAP – Turn the valve cap on the
valve stem counter-clockwise to open the air way
from the bladder.
To inflate Rear Bladder:
Open the cap on the valve stem. Pinch the valve stem
to open airway. After inflation close the valve cap by
inserting the cap into the top of the valve stem (Fig. 2).
To Deflate:
Open the cap on the valve stem. Insert the provided
deflation tube into the top of the valve stem until the air way is open. DO
NOT INSERT THE DEFLATION TUBE ALL THE WAY INTO YOUR BLADDER.
Inflating and assembling your float tube
1. Place your float tube flat on the floor with the pockets facing up.
2. Locate and access your rear bladder by unzipping the rear pocket
behind the seat (Fig. 3).
3. Inflate the rear bladder about 30%—just
enough to hold the shape.
4. Check the bladder by unzipping the float
tube shell inside the rear pocket (Fig. 3).
The bladder should lie flat, untwisted and
centered. Make sure the valve stem that
attaches to the bladder fits into the access
pocket of the float tube cover. Zip closed the
float tube shell.
5. Inflate the rear bladder until most
of the wrinkles are out of the cover.
If any twists develop stop, deflate
the bladder, straighten it within its
pocket and re-inflate. Close the valve
cap.
6. Access your main bladder valve stem
through the inside zipper pocket (Fig.
5). If valve stems are not accessible
inside the pocket see step 8.
7. Inflate the main bladder about
30%—just enough to hold their
shape.
8. Check the main bladder by unzipping the
pontoons. The bladder should lie flat,
untwisted and centered underneath the float
tube pockets. Make sure the valve stem that
attaches to the bladder fits into the access
pocket of the float tube cover (Fig. 5). Zip
closed the float tube cover. (A twisted bladder
will distort the cover when you blow it up.)
9. Inflate the main flotation bladder until most of the wrinkles are out of
the cover. If any twists develop stop, deflate the bladder, straighten it
within its pocket and re-inflate. Close the valve caps tightly.
10. Connect the three spreader bar pieces by inserting the two long tubes
into the shorter coupling tube with the angled ends on both long tube
ends facing out. Now place the mesh stripping apron on the floor with
the graphics facing up. Slip the spreader bar with the angled ends
facing down into the fabric sleeve at one end of the apron. Slip the
ends of the apron sleeve into the fabric receptacles on the top and front
of the left and right float tubed arms.

Care and storage of your float tube
Always partially deflate the bladders before storing your assembled
float tube in a vehicle or hot area. The air in the bladders can expand
significantly.
If you are not going to use your float tube for an extended period deflate it
and store it. To avoid mildew, be sure that your float tube is dry before you
