LEADING EDGE BLADDER REPLACEMENT
LEADING EDGE BLADDER REPLACEMENT
A) Slide the black locking collar away from the inflation/deflation valve and up the orange hose.
B) Pull the orange hose off of the valve. This may take a bit of force, but is necessary to eliminate risk
of unwanted detachment.
C) Push the valve down into the Leading Edge. This may take some effort - start in one corner and
work your way around the entire valve.
D) Use the wrench provided (in the spare parts kit located in the Naish Wing-Surfer bag) to loosen
and remove the cap off of the inflation/deflation valve.
E) Unzip the zipper to access the bladder, reach your hand inside the Leading Edge and pull the
bottom part of the inflate/deflate valve off of the velcro ring.
F) Open up the bladder lock ends on wing tips and attach a line to both ends of the bladder.
G) Pull the bladder out through the zipper.
H) Lay the new bladder out cleanly, making sure there are no folds or twists in the bladder.
I) Feed the bladder through the zipper with the valves orientated in the right way. Using baby powder
can help the bladder slide in easily.
J) Pull the line from the wing tips to get the bladder back in the wing.
K) Pull the valve up through the valve hole. This may take some strong pulling to ensure it is
seated correctly.
L) Put your hand inside of the Leading Edge, through the zipper and re-attach the velcro to the bottom
part of the inflation/deflation valve.
M) Using the wrench on the outside of the Leading Edge, tighten the cap of the inflation/deflation
valve back to its original position.
N) Close the zipper.
O) Close the bladder locks on the wing tips.
P) Slide the orange hose back on to the valve. Wetting the hose with water can help it slide on easily.
Q) Slide the black locking collar back over the orange hose and valve, making sure it is securely
attached with no spaces between the valve and locking collar.
