If additional air is required, insert the top of the hand pump into the valve. Refer to the inflation chart on the side of the pump for recommended number of strokes.

Once the cushion appears about 60% full, check for proper inflation. If you can easily roll one side of the product past the first set of holes, but not to the second, your cushion is ready to use.
