Summary of Contents for AirCell GX-6

  • Page 1 Owner’s Guide AIRCELL GX-6 Drive Box Revised 2023.06...
  • Page 2 Instructions for setting up the GX-6 Drive Box Important: Before inflating, first confirm that there is enough ground space and overhead clearance for the unit. Use caution near low-hanging powerlines, lighting, and basketball hoops. The GX-6 model requires a minimum vertical clearance of 11.5 feet.
  • Page 3 • Ensure the pump hose is attached to the OUT (out-flow) end of the pump. Connect the other end to a GX-6 inflation valve and Turn on the pump(s) to AIR UP! • Do not leave the pump unattended while it is running.
  • Page 4 • Position the GX-6 Drive Box in the desired location either by sliding it on the turf or picking up a side and “walking” it onto the grass.
  • Page 5 PACK UP • Locate the capped valve found on the unit. Start by gently twisting counter-clockwise to remove the cap. Take the yellow pin in the center of the valve and use your thumb to press in and twist clockwise to lock the pin into a deflate position which will allow air to release.
  • Page 6 Air down Roll up Pack away...
  • Page 7 Do NOT store the unit while the product is wet. The fabric is susceptible to mildew which will compromise the coating of the netting. Towel dry your GX-6 before folding and storing. Do NOT use the electric-powered pump in wet conditions. If caught by unexpected rain, deflate the unit manually by twisting the yellow valve stem to the deflate-lock position.

  • Page 8: Care And Maintenance

    Take special care when cleaning the screen-printed artwork on the AIRCELL ™units. The ink can become scratched over time when exposed to harsh chemicals and scrubbing. It can be removed with anything containing acetone or alcohol.

  • Page 9: Special Care

    That may result in undesirable fraying or snagging of the net. Once the AIRCELL ™unit is Aired Up, it is easier to pick up the unit and make any final adjustments to its placement on the field or practice area.
  • Page 10 Special Care (continued) Always use the Bravo air pump provided with your AIRCELL™ product. Unlike other inflation devices, this pump has been calibrated to deliver the appropriate airflow needed to reach the proper PSI without rapid over-inflation. Never attempt to use another air pump to inflate/deflate your AIRCELL ™Sports...
  • Page 11 The complementary partner to all of our air-sealed products is the Bravo® Air Inflator Pump. This is the only pump we recommend using with both our INMOTIONAir Custom and AIRCELL™ products. The BRAVO® pump has the correct calibration of air pressure to ensure proper PSI (Pounds per Square Inch) inflation.
  • Page 12 Cord Care One of the primary reasons for pump replacement is cord failure. Bravo ®inflators (pumps) can easily last 5+ years depending on the frequency of use and storage and quality of cord care. It is no secret that these pumps are expensive to replace, so we encourage our customers to take good care of them.
  • Page 13 Valves Inflation Valve or Port Each unit comes with one or two inflation valves. Our products are equipped with H3 Halkey-Roberts® inflation valves, similar to those used for white water and military watercraft. These valves are extremely durable and offer outstanding dependability. Unless the valve has been compromised by extenuating circumstances, there should be no need for replacement.
  • Page 14 Pressure Relief or Safety Release Valves Our products are built with Leafield A6 Pressure Relief Valves® with removable filter covers to protect them from debris. These valves have a spring-loaded design that releases air when the internal air pressure gets too high but before reaching the maximum inflation psi.
  • Page 15 REPAIRS ACCIDENTS HAPPEN (and they do) Here are a few techniques used to achieve the best possible results to prolong the use of your cage after a repair has been made. ABRASIONS, NICKS, & FRAYS These kinds of blemishes are considered preventative maintenance to prevent further damage from occurring.
  • Page 16 Anything smaller than the size of a dime can be patched with a traditional patch. This will require using the patch material in the orange tube which is included in each AIRCELL ™unit. If this has been misplaced you may contact us to purchase patches. You will also need to buy Vinyl cement, we recommend HH 66 which comes in 4oz cans found through any boat marine shops or available through online retailers.
  • Page 17 LARGE HOLES, GASHES, OR SLICES We’ve successfully repaired slices as long 6 inches caused by metal cleats coming down on a tube as well as larger holes the size of a 50 cent piece. These repairs require a 2-layer patch we refer to as a sandwich patch.
  • Page 18 Remember to have your supplies ready BEFORE you begin and work quickly as both the AQUASEAL ™and HH 66 Cement will begin to dry. Supplies: Your AIRCELL unit included an orange tube containing 2 pieces of patch material. If you cannot locate this tube, you may contact us to request patch material.
