First Inflation of Sled

Carefully unpack from the original box on a level floor clear of dust, debris or sharps – preferably 
on a ground sheet. For the first time preferably do it in indoors at ambient room temperature to 
allow the materials to “settle” – after all it has probably been transported in cold conditions.

Unpack from box – when opening box do not use a knife anywhere near sled or carrying 

bag

• Take out of bag and unravel slightly and ensure valves are open to allow air intake. Ensure 

area surrounding valves are clean to prevent ingress of dirt or moisture.

To check if valve is open or closed – push slightly on side wall or 
floor and then if no air can be felt coming out of valve(s), they 
are closed. To open valve push centre/poppet (usually yellow) 
inwards gently and rotate (turn) quarter turn in either clockwise 
or anti-clockwise direction - release centre/poppet and it will lock 
in position. To close push centre/poppet inwards and rotate 
quarter turn in either clockwise or anti-clockwise direction, 
release gently to lock in the closed position. Close examination 
of the inner parts of the valve will reveal the slots in valve centre 
spindle into which the centre/poppet sprung part enters to either 
lock open or closed. Closed being where the valve is functional and retaining air.

lay out on floor slowly, firstly in ‘Z’ shape, then after 2/3 minutes stretch out straighter
