First Inflation of Sled

• Now close the valves – from open position push centre/poppet (usually yellow) inwards 

and rotate quarter turn in either clockwise or anti-clockwise direction, release gently to lock 
in the closed position. (See more information about valve operation above.)

Inflate  the  two  compartments  partially  (using  manually  operated  pump  provided),  again 

allow fabric to “form”

After 3/4 minutes fully inflate firstly the floor so that the pressure relief valve operates

Carefully look at the pressure required on the outer face of side wall valve – if non-printed 
on valve then inflate carefully to 0.25 bar / 3.6 psi / 24.82 Kpa. Go up to the stated 
pressure, but do not over pressure so that they form a good almost “hard” shape

 

The  pump  provided  has  a  low  and  high  pressure  setting  and  a  gauge  to  assist  with 

inflation.

When inflation is done for the first time allow the fabric to “rest” in the warmth of a room to 

become  the  shape  of  sled  and  remove  any  indentations  that  may  have  formed  in 
transport.

Recheck inflation of chambers.

• Ensure valve caps are inserted and locked in place by pushing slightly then 

turning clockwise (release by turning anticlockwise and pulling away).

• Leave sled inflated for 24 hours the first time, and then re-check that the 

sled is at or near the correct pressures. If pressure is not held please see 
below
