Monitoring the Operating Pressure
IMPORTANT!
The PVC material stretches after the first
inflation of the item a bit further and

Please bear in mind that the informati-
on may vary slightly depending on load
and outside temperature.
Inflate the air chamber until it feels firm and
until no wrinkles are visible in the material . The
thumb should still sink in somewhat when pres-
sing on the relevant air chamber .
