Preventing Leaks
Keep mattress away from sharp objects and
rough surfaces.
Keep away from pets, as their claws will
damage the mattress.
•
Do not place any air mattress against a wall or
similar surface. The friction from rubbing against
a wall may damage an air mattress' flexible
surface. Nails in the wall may also damage the
mattress.
•
Do not over-inflate. This will shorten the lifespan
of the air mattress.
•
Do not expose to extreme temperatures (hot or
cold).
•
Avoid putting too much pressure on small parts
of any air mattress. This includes sitting or
sleeping on the edge of the mattress for several
hours, and standing or walking on the mattress.
•
Fold the air mattress correctly (see page 11).
•
When camping, keep off of rough objects or
surfaces that may damage the mattress.
Repairing Leaks
Use the included vinyl plastic repair kits to repair
leaks.
Note:
• If your mattress has lost only a small amount
of air, there may not be a leak (see Keeping
the Mattress Firm , page 12).
• The repair kits will not work on the felt parts
of the mattress.
1.
To locate the leak, fully inflate the mattress.
Spray or wipe mild soapy water on the
mattress. Air bubbles will form at the leak area.
2.
Deflate the mattress.
Thoroughly clean the damaged area. Allow to
3.
dry for at least 10 minutes. The area must be
completely dry before patching, or the patch
will not work.
4.
Cut the vinyl patch to the required size for the
damaged area.
5.
Remove patch from the paper backing. Press
firmly over the damaged area. Optionally, use a
smooth, heavy object to weigh down the patch.
6.
Wait 20 minutes before inflating.
