Abstract
A method for filling and evacuating an inflatable stowage pad, includes connecting the stowage pad to a nozzle apparatus including a handgrip which operates on the principle of a water jet pump for selectively generating a pressure air flow and a suction when connected to a source of compressed air. The stowage pad is selectively filled and evacuated with the nozzle apparatus.
