•
Do not store it without placing it inside the outer bag. This protects from surface abrasions.
•
Do not place anything heavy on top of the product while it is stored.
PROPERLY MAINTAINING THE AIRSLIDE
•
Use on smooth, flat surfaces only. Avoid excessively hot or abrasive surfaces as these can
prematurely wear out the bottom of the product.
•
Inflate adequately. Do not over-‐ or under-‐inflate.
•
Frequent use will gradually change the inside pressure. Re-‐inflate as needed.
•
Hot weather expands the air inside the product, which can strain the seams. Remove air as
required.
•
Hot surfaces can damage the material.
•
The product should be cleaned after regular use. Use either soap and water or 409 and allow
adequate drying time. Do not use abrasive cleaners or high-‐pressure washers.
•
If loss of air pressure is noticed, check for leaks or ruptures in the seams. See Dealing with
Repairs instructions below.
•
Never store the product when it is wet or damp.
•
Do not inflate the unit if it is very cold. Allow time for it to warm up.
NOTE: The repair kit contains colored vinyl patches and glue. To effectively use the repair kit, other
material (not included) may be needed: soap & water, scissors, marker, paintbrush, rubbing alcohol,
sandpaper.
For quick repairs use Tear Aid (available online). For seams use McNett’s Seam Grip (available in most
sporting goods stores or online).
DEALING WITH REPAIRS
•
In the unlikely event that the product springs a leak or punctures, follow repair kit instructions
below.
•
If a leak is suspected, look for it while the product is fully inflated.
•
Use a mix of soap and water and sprinkle it over a suspected leak. If the soapy water bubbles,
the leak has been found.
•
Dry the area around the leak with a cloth. Mark the spot of the leak so it can be easily located
later.
•
Deflate the unit completely. Do not attempt to patch leaks when the unit is inflated.
•
Cut a piece of vinyl patch to fit over the leak or hole, making sure it is approximately 2.5 inches
larger in every direction than the leak.
•
Rub the back of the vinyl patch and the site of the leak with a piece of sandpaper. This will
improve the adhesion of the patch. Clean both with rubbing alcohol before gluing.
•
Once the surface is clean, dry-‐fit the patch over the leak. Using a small paintbrush or dish
sponge, apply a layer of glue to the area covered by the patch.
•
Apply the patch quickly and apply even pressure to fit the patch firmly on all corners.
•
Allow approximately 1 minute for drying. The bond will remain strong but the product should
not be inflated and used for at least 24 hours after patching.
