TO FIND A LEAK:
Listen for "hissing" sound of air escaping.
1.
Check likely sources of leaks, such as all valves. Check
2.
overpressure valve and both high and low pressure air inflation
valves for the sound of escaping air.
Remove closure cap and check that the low pressure infla-
3.
tion/deflation valve is closed and not leaking.
If valves are OK, check the inflatable structure for obvious
4.
signs of damage.
If leak cannot be traced, mix a solution of soap and water.
5.
Using a brush, paint solution onto welding joints, around valves,
etc., until solution forms bubbles. This is the source of the leak.
IF HIGH AND/OR LOW PRESSURE INFLATION/DEFLATION
VALVE LEAKS:
Valve may have dirt or dust contamination, preventing valve
spring from closing the valve completely. Carefully LIFT/PULL
center of valve with hand or small blunt object, and clean with
high pressure compressed air.
IF OVERPRESSURE VALVE LEAKS:
Valve may have dirt or dust contamination, preventing valve
spring from closing the valve completely. Carefully LIFT center
of valve with small blunt object, and clean with high pressure
compressed air.
