Place the AdvancedFrame™ tube (with Ribs installed), into the Outer Skin, making sure that       the air  valve is upright and at the back of the boat and lined up with the opening on the outer      cover.  Chamber 1 and 2 are separate chambers but  equalize in pressure because they are     inside a fabric cover.  Ideally you want to put half of the air in chamber 1 and half in chamber      2.  This way  if you suddenly lose pressure in one chamber y ou should have another chamber

                        TM   INFLATION TIPS Use either a bellows style foot pump or two-way hand pump to inflate to your kayak. Be sure that  the fitting on the pump hose fits snug in the valve on the kayak. NEVER USE COMPRESSORS,  CO2 OR COMPRESSED AIR AS THEY MAY DAMAGE YOUR KAYAK.  The main chambers use  high-end military style, plunger valves (Push in and twist to activate the spring-loaded check  valve for inflating, or push-in and twist to lock open for deflating). 3.4	 Over	Inflation  CAUTION: Water temperature

                        TM   Do not store your kayak for an extended period of time while wet.   Follow these steps for removing excess water.  1.   Unzip the 2 zippers that run down the center of the kayak.  2.   Remove the gray fabric tube and cover, along with the inflatable floor, separating it     from the outer cover.  In order to completely separate these parts, it is necessary to        unscrew the locking  nut on the spring v alve.  3.   Use a sponge or towel and wipe up any excess water in the outer cover.  4
