16. WHAT TO LOOK FOR:
9.1
LOOSING AIR PRESURE: (LEAKS DETECTION)
If you notice a pressure loss, not due to lower temperatures, first check the valve. To detect a leak, we
recommend you to spray some soapy water around the valve. If you notice bubbles, first check that the
valve is installed. If you still have issues, you may have to order a new valve. The valve can be
tightened, loosen or replaced thanks to the valve spanner supplied with your SCOOTER SURF.
9.1.1
REPAIR YOUR BOARD
Your new board has been made with sustainable PVC. In case of tear or perforation PVC is easy to fix like
any repair on your Board with your the repair kit. Read the section below to know how to detect leaks and
fix them.
9.1.2
REPAIRS :
You can fix small punctures thanks to the material supplied in your repair kit (NB : glue is not Supplied).
Use a PVC glue that you will find in any hardware or sport store. To fix your Board in optimal conditions,
relative humidity has to be under 60 % and the temperature between 18°C and 25°C or 64,4°F and 77°F.
Avoid repairing your Board under the rain or in full sun. Check that the inner tube is deflated and flat.
1.
Cut a patch 5 cm bigger than the surface to fix.
2.
Clean the damaged area and the patch with an alcoholic solution. Let it dry for at least 5 minutes.
3.
Apply 3 layers of glue on the patch and on the damaged area, let it dry for 5 minutes between each
layer.
4.
When the third layer is dry apply, without pressing, the patch and adjust it.
5.
If there are some air bubbles, press outwards with a curved tool (a spoon for example) to eliminate
them.
6.
Clean excess glue with solvent.
7.
Let it dry for about 12 hours.
WARNING
: Fix your SCOOTER SURF in a ventilated area. Do not inhale glue vapors. Do not ingest. Avoid
eyes or skin contact with the glue. Keep you repair kit away from children.
9.2
ONCE A CRACK STARTS IT (IN ANY PART) CAN GROW AND GROW FAST:
Think about the crack as forming a pathway to failure. This means that any crack is potentially
dangerous and will only become more dangerous.
SIMPLE RULE 1:
If you find crack, replace the part.
16.1.
CORROSSION SPEEDS DAMAGE:
Cracks grow more quickly when they are in a corrosive environment. Think about the corrosive
solution as further weakening and extending the crack.
