sevylor HF-360 inflation help

[flinttool]

HI I have just got a HF-360 inflatable, but it didn't have a manual with it. I was hoping that one of you could tell me of any important aspects of the manual that you think I should know. Most importantly there is a yellow-backed clear strip on the inside safety tube (number 1 tube) with a black strip on the inside. There are the letters "A" and "B" marked on the clear strip, but I am not sure how to interpret the markings with out a manual!<br /><br /> Can any one tell me how to inflate it correctly or can any one email a copy of the important bits?

Flinttool, Inflate the boat following the numbers next to each valve in order. That boat has two boston valves that inflate the main tube chambers. Inflate the first one and that little black strip will start to move towards the "A". Stop when it reaches that line. Next inflate the outer tube and stop when the strip reaches "B". DO NOT OVERINFLATE! Deflate the boat in reverse order. Have fun, it's a great boat!!

does it have to go all the way down to the "B" line to be fully inflated? We were to scared to inflate to much in case it went off with a bag! only got two thirds of the way to the "B" line and stopped.<br /><br />YES i must admit it looks to be a great little boat.<br />Thanks DR

FT, make sure you are going in order. The inner tube is number 1 and I can't remember what number the outer tube is, but you have to go in order otherwise you will over inflate. If you go in order then you want the strip to reach the "B" mark. As you inflate, try milking that strip with your finger to make sure it keeps moving. Stop when you reach the "B" and your fine. Don't forget to inflate the "Chine" chambers on the outside of the outer tube, there are 2 of them. They affect that strip as well.

Re: sevylor HF-360 inflation help

Start with the number 5 tube and go in reverse order. There are no check valves in this boat, so no need to suck the air out. Just open the valves and let it sit for about 5 min. and you're good to go.
