For the AIRHAWK Seating system to be effective, it must be properly adjusted. The goal is to allow yourself to sink as deeply as possible into the seating system without hitting the bottom. This is achieved by having as little air in the seating system as possible. Proper adjustment can only be done while you are sitting on the seating system..
Step 1: Turn seating system valve counter-clockwise to open.
Step 2: Inflate seating system by mouth until the seating system is filled with air.
Step 3: Turn valve clockwise to close.
Step 4: Place seating system on your motorcycle, with the air cells facing upward. Sit on the seat in your normal riding position. Place both feet on pegs.
Step 5: IMPORTANT! Adjust the air by opening the fill valve and releasing air until you sink down into the seating system. Close fill valve. Ideal inflation is about 1/2 inch off the seat. If you bottom out on the base of the seat, add more air through the fill valve and adjust again. DO NOT OVERINFLATE. This product works most effectively with a minimal amount of air.
Step 6: Turn valve clockwise to close. You can check that you have not let all the air out of the seating system by slowly leaning your body (not necessarily your bike) from side to side. You should be able to feel the air transferring beneath you slightly. If too much air is transferring beneath you, let more air out of the seating system.
Attaching Your Seating System to the Motorcycle-
Your AIRHAWK Seating System includes a cover that has attachment loops on the sides, and a set of straps. Follow the directions included with the straps to secure the seating system to your bike. You may also use seating system without attaching it, as the bottom of the cover is made of a non-skid material that keeps the seating system secure in your seat.
