FENDERS INFLATION INSTRUCTIONS
OCEAN fenders can be inflated by several types of air sources, including hand or foot air pump and air compressor.
Fender Valve
Step 1
Open the cap of the boat fender and turn the OCEAN valve half turn (1/2) to the left. The easiest way to unscrew is with a coin. Avoid total unscrewing and eventually removing the valve from the fender body for better inflation performance.
Easy fit with cap protection
Designed to be corrosion - free
Once removed can be easily placed again
Step 2
Apply the nozzle of the air source into the valve without over forcing so as to avoid damaging it.
Step 3
Then inflate the fender until suggested pressure 0.15bar (*). By this pressure the fender should be pressed easily with your finger.
(*) void over inflating the fender (the surface of fender will be too hard to press and the rope-hole will be deformed) because it will reduce its performance and lifetime. If so, deflate until the point you can push your finger in fender surface ~2cm
Step 4
After filling the fender with proper amount of air, remove the nozzle and screw clockwise half turn. Do not over-force the screw over that point because the valve will be damaged.
