1. Take the black valve wrench from the repair kit and ensure the air fill valve (x1) and the pressure relief valve (x1) are tight. Typically, once a year you may need to retighten these valves with the wrench. Warning: Do not ever completely unscrew the valve.

2. Inflating the Lake Bed: Inflating the Lake Bed takes 2-3 minutes, although this does depend on the target psi.

3.1 Ensure the valve pin is in the up position. When the valve pin is up, you can still pump air into the Lake Bed, but it won’t lose any pressure when the pump hose is disconnected.

3.2 Connect the pump hose and inflate the Lake Bed to 2-4 PSI. The Lake Bed has a max air capacity of 7 PSI, although 2-4 PSI is a good target range. The pressure regulator will activate and slowly let air out if max capacity is ever reached.

3.3. Electric pumps and air compressors can be used. We have adapters and e-pumps if inflating manually is an obstacle. If you have an existing e-pump, feel free to use it. You won’t void any warranty or do any damage to the Lake Bed by using an off-brand pump.

Anchoring or tethering the Lake Bed can be done by tethering with a mooring bungee or a stretchy rope to an anchor, boat, dock, or other Paddle North product. It is recommended to anchor from multiple D-rings to ensure wind can’t get under the Lake Bed. 15 - 20 lb anchor is typically heavy enough for most bodies of water.

1. Deflating the Lake Bed takes just a few minutes. Dry off the Lake Bed before deflating.

2. Open the valve cap and press down on the center pin for the air valve. The pin will lock in the down position and let all of the air out. Let it sit for a few minutes while air flows out of the Lake Bed.

Optional: The included pump does vacuum the air out by switching the hose connector to deflate on pump.

Storing the Lake Bed inflated or deflated is acceptable. If storing deflated, ensure that the Lake Bed is completely dry. If storing in a below freezing temperature, it is better to have the Lake Bed unrolled, or partially inflated, where the seams won’t be stressed.

The Lake Bed can comfortably support up to 500 lbs.
