OCEAN fenders can be inflated by several types of air sources, including hand or foot air pump and air compressor.
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
Apply the nozzle of the air source into the valve without over forcing so as to avoid damaging it.
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
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.
