Polyform Norway Fender Inflation Guide

To make the operation easier, Jimmy Green advise that you purchase a Polyform fender inflation nozzle adaptor which fits on e.g. a car tyre foot pump.

Polyform fenders can often be inflated without the nozzle although this is not guaranteed.

Suitable hand/foot/stirrup/electric pumps are widely available.

Just ensure that you use a nozzle with a snug fit.

Do not use a Bicycle pump or a football pump needle

Step 1 - Remove the valve

Use a flat head screw driver to gently unscrew the value screw located at the rope hold end.

Step 2 - Insert a suitable nozzle

Connect a suitable nozzle to the pump and introduce the nozzle end to the valve housing with a snug fit.

Step 3 - Inflate the fender
