Inflating Your Egg
1. Take the black valve wrench from the repair kit and ensure the air fill valve and the pressure relief valve 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 Egg: Inflating the Egg will take 6-12 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 Egg, but it won’t lose any pressure when the pump hose is disconnected.
3.2 Connect the pump hose and inflate the Egg to 6-10 psi, depending on how rigid you'd like it to be. The pump has a PSI gauge and will being to register pressure when the Egg reaches ~3-5 PSI. The Egg has a max air capacity of 10 PSI. The pressure regulator will activate and slowly let air out if max capacity is ever reached.
3.3. Electric pumps and air compressors can also be used. We have adapters and electric 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 Egg by using an off-brand pump.
Anchoring
Anchoring or tethering the Egg 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 Egg. 15 - 20 lb anchor is typically heavy enough for most bodies of water.
Deflating Your Egg
1. Deflating the Egg takes just a few minutes. Dry off the Egg before rolling up and putting away for storage.
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 Egg.
Optional: Our electric pump and manual pump can vacuum the air out by switching the hose connector to deflate on pump.
Storing Your Egg
Storing the Egg inflated or deflated is acceptable. If storing deflated, ensure that the Egg is completely dry. If storing in a below freezing temperature, it is better to have the Egg unrolled where the seams won’t be stressed.
