[black][size 3]Yes, the air pressure will automatically press the valve down. If you push it down first, it will fill faster, but you will loose pressure when you detach the pump and reseat the valve. If you leave the valve up(at least on mine) you can fill the bladders. Pushing down the valve manually and opening it fully by turning it slightly, is the method you use to deflate the bladders. [/size][/black]

[black][size 3]One thing you might want to get is an extender(made out of clear flexible Tygon) for your pump that will fit snuggley in your valve opening and snuggley over the end of your pump hose nozzle. That will make a better and more secure connection between the pump nozzle and valve opening. Sorry, I don't have a photo available right now.[/size][/black]
