3. Setup

3.1 Inflation

1. Locate the inflation valve on the Jobe Inflatable SUP Seat.
2. Open the valve cap.
3. Inflate the seat using a suitable pump or by mouth until it is firm to the touch but not overinflated. Avoid using high-pressure compressors.
4. Securely close the valve cap to prevent air leakage.

3.2 Attachment to SUP

1. Position the inflated SUP seat on your paddleboard where you desire to sit.
2. Identify the attachment points on your SUP (typically D-rings or similar loops).
3. Thread the provided straps through the loops on the SUP seat and around the attachment points on your paddleboard.
4. Adjust the straps to ensure the seat is securely fastened and does not shift during use. Ensure the straps are taut but do not overtighten, which could damage the seat or board.

4. Operating Instructions

Once the Jobe Inflatable SUP Seat is securely attached and properly inflated, you can comfortably sit on your paddleboard. Ensure your weight is evenly distributed for stability. Always maintain awareness of your surroundings and adhere to all local water safety regulations.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

• After each use, rinse the SUP seat with fresh water to remove salt, sand, or dirt.
• For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.

5.2 Drying and Storage

• Ensure the seat is completely dry before deflating and storing to prevent mold or mildew.
• Deflate the seat by opening the valve and gently pressing out the air.
• Fold or roll the seat neatly.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

5.3 Valve Care

• Keep the valve clean and free of sand or debris.
• Ensure the valve cap is always securely closed when not inflating or deflating.

6. Troubleshooting

• Seat is losing air: Check the inflation valve to ensure it is properly sealed. Inspect the seat for any punctures or small tears. A repair kit (not included) may be needed for minor repairs.
• Seat feels unstable: Ensure the seat is fully inflated and the attachment straps are tightened securely to the SUP. Adjust your sitting position for better balance.
• Straps are loosening: Re-tighten the straps. Ensure they are threaded correctly through the attachment points on both the seat and the SUP.
