Air-Flo 5/5+: Disconnect male and female CPC connectors from the pump and join

CPR
For rapid deflation simply pull the CPR cord.
NB: Make sure hoses are not kinked or tucked under the mattress. Also check to
ensure the CPR valve is properly attached. When using the systems, backrests
should be placed beneath the mattress to allow uninterrupted pressure relief.
