Air track Board inflation Steps
a.
Unscrew the valve cap, press down the valve pin to open the valve, Let the air flow
naturally into the product, In order to save the time of inflation, then press down
the valve pin again to close the valve (in “UP” position).
b.
Make sure the pump hose is connected to the “inflate” outlet.
c.
Connect the pump nozzle into the valve receptacle, with a half twist motion
(clockwise)
d.
Start pumping air into the board by sliding the pump piston up and down. and then
open the switch tap for single action. Inflate until you reach the required pressure.
Minimum 12psi for proper operation and maximum of 15psi for this product.
e.
After inflation, tighten the valve cap. Only the valve cap can ensure final air
tightness.

Inflation tips and precautions
DO NOT use an air compressor. Damage to your board caused by over inflation from an
air compressor is not covered by our warranty.
After 2 or 3 days there may be a small decrease of pressure due to temperature change .
if so, add a few pumps of air.
Before using, inflate the board for a full 24 hours to make sure the board is airtight. If you are seeing a
consistent decrease in air pressure, follow the instructions for leak detection in the board repair section of this
manual.
DO NOT over
-
inflate the board. A max pressure of 15 psi is adequate. The easiest gauge of a good working
pressure is to have the chambers inflated to a firm pressure when you press on them.
DO NOT pump to a high pressure and let the board sit out in the hot sun. if the board is going to be in a warm
environme
nt, slightly deflate the board and allow the heat from the sun to increase the internal pressure.
LEAK DETECTION AND REPAIR
Air Leak Detection
If the board is losing air pressure, not caused by colder temperatures, check the board for leaks, starting with
the valves. A leaking valve is rare, but if you do find a leak we can send you a replacement valve. To locate a
leak, we recommend mixing soap and water in a spray bottle, spray around the valve. If you see bubbles
forming, check your valve seating and base and be sure the valve insert is screwed tight. If you continue to have
problems it’s probably time to order a new valve. Replacement of the whole valve can be done with a simple
tool that comes with the replacement valve.
If the board is losing air and
the valves are good, it probably has a small puncture. Small punctures can be
repaired easily and permanently. Spray around the board until air bubbles become visible and mark the position
of the leak. If you do not find air bubbles, inflate the board to maximum air pressure and try to listen to find the
leak, if you can narrow the area down ,return with a spray bottle to identify the source of the leak.
Repair Kit
Punctures less than 1/8” in size can be repaired simply without a patch. Deflate your board,
then clean and dry
the area to be repaired. Apply a small drop of glue to cover the puncture, and let it dry 12 hours.
