Troubleshooting
Won’t hold air:
•
Check main valve to insure plastic ring is not caught under
the seal or cap.
•
Be sure the valve and cap are screwed in straight and tight. A
cross threaded valve can cause leakage.
•
Check for holes in product following the procedures in the
“Repairs” section.
Repairs
•
Inflate the tube firmly and locate the leak by spraying the tube
with soapy water. Bubbles will appear where there is a leak.
•
Determine the hole size and cut a circular patch ½ - 1 inch
wider than the hole.
•
Remove air from the tube and dry tube completely where the
patch is to be applied.
•
Peel off paper back from patch, apply repair patch to area
and work out any air bubbles from beneath the patch.
•
Apply weight to the patched area for one hour before re-
inflating.
