Repairs
WARNING!
Before every use, check the board for pressure
loss, holes or tears.
If the board is leaking air, this could be due to a
leaking valve, a defective valve, or a leak in the
board itself.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to
repair larger damaged areas yourself.
You can repair more minor damage with the
repair kit (10) provided.
Valve
To check whether the valve is leaking or defec-
tive, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the valve cap (1a) anticlockwise and
remove it from the valve (1b).
2. Ensure that there is no sand, or other foreign
objects, in the valve.
3. Fully inflate the board (1).
4. Close the valve.
5. Rinse the area of the board around the valve
with soapy water.
If bubbles form around the valve,
the valve must either be tightened or
replaced.
• Tightening the valve (Fig. F):
1. Turn the valve cap (1a) anticlockwise and
remove it from the valve (1b).
2. Place the valve key (8) onto the valve until it
fully grips the valve.
3. Tighten the valve by turning the valve key
clockwise.
4. Close the valve with the valve cap and rinse
the area of the board (1) around the valve
with soapy water.
When there are no more bubbles, the valve
is tight.
• Replacing the valve (Fig. F):
If bubbles are still forming around the valve,
even after you’ve tightened it, it will need to be
replaced.
1. Allow the board (1) to deflate completely.
2. Turn the valve cap (1a) anticlockwise and
remove it from the valve (1b).
3. Place the valve key (8) onto the valve until it
fully grips the valve.
4. Turn the valve key anticlockwise until it can be
removed from the board.
5. Remove the defective valve from the board.
6. Insert a new valve into the board.
Note:
you may order a replacement valve from
the customer service address below. For optimal
sealing, we recommend that you smear a little
silicone grease or Vaseline around the valve.
7. Place the valve key onto the valve and tighten
the valve by turning it clockwise.
8. Place the valve cap onto the valve and tighten
it by turning it clockwise.
Leaks
Only repair leaks on the board (1) with a
suitable adhesive. An adhesive is included in
the package contents. Repairs with unsuitable
adhesive can lead to further damage!
You can find suitable adhesives in spe-
cialist stores.
