TROUBLE SHOOTING
VALVE DOES NOT RETAIN AIR WHEN PUMP IS REMOVED
Make sure that the center spring is in the closed/up position.
Clear any debris that might be preventing the valve from sealing. This can be accomplished by pumping quick
bursts of air into the valve with the valve in both closed and open positions.
Make sure that the lock ring on the valve is tight.
TUBE BECOMES SOFT AFTER INFLATION PROCESS
Determine which air chamber is soft. Starting at the valve, spray with soapy water to find leak. Make sure the
valve is functioning correctly, with no signs of leaking. (See above)
TIP:
If you spray the valve with soapy water and it leaks from the outside of the valve it is either loose, the washer is
upside down or the valve is off center. If it leaks from the center, something is holding the spring open.
If the leak is at the fabric, find the hole in the fabric and patch with an appropriate sized fabric patch. (See Gluing
Instructions under Repair)
FLOOR BECOMES SOFT AFTER BOAT IS ON THE WATER
The cooling effect of the water will soften the floor from its initial pressure. Top off the floor again until the relief
valve opens. If it becomes soft again, see process above for locating a leak, starting with the valves.
PRESSURE RELEASE VALVE NOT OPENING AT 2.0 PSI
Remove the valve and wash it in soapy water and rinse it thoroughly. If your PRV fails to work after cleaning and
properly reinstalling, replace it immediately. This could result in a blown I-beam in the mattress floor, which
averages a $300 repair cost. Under the filter screen is a colored dot that indicates the PSI, so make sure it is the
mfg suggested setting of either a blue dot (2.0 PSI release) or yellow dot (1.75 PSI release).
