INFLATE THE SCOOTER SURF
12.6.1.
Inflation
The pressure recommended is
13/15PSI.
•
Throughout the first inflation, we recommend inflating the SCOOTER SURF in a room with ambient temperature:
PVC will be more flexible and easier to assemble.
•
If the SCOOTER SURF has been stored in cold room (less than 0°C/32°F) put it in a hotter place (20°C/68°F) for 12
hours before to unfold it.
•
Inflate the BOARD with the high-pressure pump Supplied with your SCOOTER SURF. This pump has an adaptor
provided for the
BARD’s
valve.
12.6.2.
Valve functioning:
•
The inflation valve is at the
board’s
back, it has to be closed so the board can be inflated.
•
Be sure that the valve stem is upwards. If the stem is downwards, push it slightly until it pulls up in the waterproof
position,
•
Lock the valve cover once the inflation is over. It will avoid any unintended deflation and will also avoid insertion of
particles in the inner tube.
12.6.3.
Inflation sequence:
1.
Be sure that the valve stem is ok and on closed position.
2.
Check that the hose is attached into the pump.
3.
Connect the nozzle to the SCOOTER SURF
’s
valve by doing a quarter turn to attach it.
4.
Inflate the board by pumping.
5.
The gauge needle indicates the pressure from 7 PSI. Therefore, inflate your SCOOTER SURF for several
minutes before the pressure gauge needle goes off.
WARNING:
The use of a compressor can seriously damage your board and cancelled guarantee.
12.6.4.
Advice and inflating precautions:
•
The board must be inflated with a manual pump for SCOOTER SURF or BOARD.
•
Do not use compressors to inflate your SCOOTER SURF.
•
Always check the pressure before using your SCOOTER SURF. Over time, the inner tube is going to lose air, hence,
check before using it.
•
24hours before using your SCOOTER SURF, inflate it to check if it is airtight. If you see an important pressure
decrease, read the instructions «
Leak’s
detection» in the repair section of this manual.
•
Do not over inflate. The maximum pressure recommended is 10/11PSI.
•
Do not let your SCOOTER SURF in direct sunlight for a long time when it is fully pressured. If the SCOOTER SURF is
used in a hot or sunny environment, release some air from the board. Inflate at the proper PSI before using. The
water temperature can also leads to an air loss in the inner tube. Putting your SCOOTER SURF in the water for few
minutes can
