Inflatable Products
– Aquaglide makes some of the highest quality inflatable products in
the world. With proper care and maintenance, our products are expected to last for years
under normal use. We list important tips and instructions below. If unsure about any point,
please reach us through our website at Aquaglide.com/contact-us.
Note
: see Anchoring instructions (below) before inflating this item. Strong winds can make it
difficult to control this product. Be aware of weather conditions before installation.
Air Pump
- Use an air pump recommended for inflating your product. For products this
size, use of a high-volume electrical pump is best. Air pressure requirements are low
– 5.0psi (0,35bar) or less. Air compressors designed for high-pressure inflation are not
recommended because they can easily lead to over-inflation.
Valve(s)
– This product uses a Halkey Roberts – type (HR) valve.
Valve attaches to product using a threaded backing plate, making it
easily replaceable in the unlikely event of damage.
Access valve using a coin or flat tool to twist the tamper-resistant
cap counter-clockwise. To close, insert the cap and twist clockwise
using the same tool. Note: cap is the secondary air seal. See valve
operation. See A.
To inflate, an air pump with Halkey Roberts – type (HR)
valve fitting is required. Insert fitting into valve and twist
clockwise to lock in place. See B.
Valve Operation:
To operate Halkey Roberts – type
(HR) valve, press plunger and turn 90 degrees
to set valve for inflate and product use (plunger
out = 1-way airflow). Press plunger and turn 90
degrees to deflate (plunger in = 2-way airflow).
Note: valve is primary air seal. After inflation, close
with cap for secondary seal. See C.
Proper Working Pressure
for each chamber
is listed below. Do not overfill or underfill. Excessive pressure can cause damage to the
product and may void the warranty. Do not use without adequate air pressure. Product
can become unstable if underfilled and may not support indicated capacity. Use a pressure
gauge (manometer) to carefully monitor air pressure in the product especially during hot or
cool periods.
