Many, many thanks, Paul + Kate. I was ready to send the tent back until I found your post. Building on your explanation I now attach the pump to the valve, do a few pumps, remove the pipe, if the air gushes out I know the valve is in the OPEN position so I push it one time. If the air does not gush out (perhaps just a tiny amount) then I know the valve is in the CLOSED position. I re-attach the valve and pump it up fully to the middle of the green part on the pump guage, remove the pipe from the valve and listen for the pleasing silence as no air gushes out. Thank you again, Paul + Kate.
