Follow the instructions below for valve operation and correct inflation and deflation procedures.
A. Valve Operation
:
The board’s inflation valve is located near the nose of the board.
To close off the valve for inflation, make sure that the center valve pin is in the “up” position. If it is
in the “down” position, press down on the valve pin and turn it counterclockwise until it pops up.
B. To open the valve for deflation, press down on the valve pin and turn it clockwise so it locks
down.
Be careful of any sand or debris around the valve area when deflating as small
particles could become airborne with the release of air pressure!
C. Always lock the valve cover over the valve stem when in use. This will prevent accidental air
release and entrance of any particles into the air chambers.
6. BOARD INFLATION STEPS
A. Make sure that the valve is in the closed position (valve pin up)
B. Make sure the pump hose is connected to the “inflate“ outlet
C. Connect the pump nozzle into the valve receptacle.
D. Start pumping air into the board by sliding the pump piston up and down.
Tip: If the pump piston starts to squeak, apply some spray silicone on the piston
shaft.
7. BOARD DEFLATION STEPS
A. Clear any water or debris out of the valve areas.
B. Slowly press down on the valve stem to start letting air out of the board. There will be an initial
burst of air, but that will slow down very quickly. Once the air flow has slowed down, press the
valve stem all the way down and turn it clockwise to lock it into the “open” position.
