10.6 REPLACING A VALVE
Both the inflation/deflation valve and the overpressu-
re valve can easily be unscrewed by hand. To do this,
grip the valve socket firmly from the outside in order to
achieve the necessary torque. Since the bladder will
also be grasped while doing this, it is important to take
care not to damage it.
10.7 REPLACING A BLADDER
• Lay out the tent so the damaged tube is on top so
that you have easy access to it.
• Open the service zipper at the upper end of the tube
(a).
• Now open the ziper at the lower end of the tube (b).
• Push / pull both valves through the holes and into the
Tube (c). The valves are secured with Velcro to the
inside.
• Now you can pull the bladder downwards and out of
the Tube (d-e).
• Orient the new bladder correctly and lay it out at the
bottom of the tube (pay attention to the position of
the valves) (f).
• Now, starting at the top end, thread the entire tube
onto your arm and grasp the prepared replacement
bladder through the lower tube opening (g).
• Carefully pull the replacement bladder completely
into the tube, making sure that a small amount
protrudes from both ends of the tube (h). Ensure that
the replacement bladder does not become twisted
as it is pulled in. It may help to have someone assist
you with this step.
• Push the valves on the replacement bladder through
the openings of the tubes from the inside and fasten
the velcro (i). Make sure that the bladder does not get
caught between the velcro rings on the valves and
the tube (j).
• Close the zippers on both ends of the tube (k).
• Before inflating the new bladder for the first time, it
must be spread out evenly in the column. To do this,
pull the two ends of the tube apart while shaking
them as they are lying flat on the floor. An assistant is
required for this (l).
TIP: For an optimally wrinkle-free
Tube, shake it while inflating it and
run your hand along any wrinkles
as they form to smooth them out.
Continue until the tube is completely
inflated.

PLEASE NOTE:
Note: Make abso-
lutely sure that the replacement
bladder does not rub across the
service zipper or get caught on it
while it is being pulled in.
