8.  Go to the base of the sleeve and gently pull the bladder 

out of the sleeve. Detach the flying line and leave it in the 

sleeve.  Having the flying line through the sleeve will allow 

you to easily replace the bladder once it is repaired.

9.  Slide the air clip back onto the inflation tube.  Inflate the 

bladder and clamp the tubing so that it maintains air. Do 

not over inflate the bladder.

10.  Submerge the bladder in water to locate the hole. A bath-

tub or large sink full of water is best.

11.  Look for bubbles to locate the hole.

12.  Once you have located the leak, dry the area and mark the 

hole with a circle. A permanent marker works best for this. 

(FIG 8)

13.  Dry and clean the rest of the bladder with a soft towel.

14.  Again, deflate the bladder.

15.  If the hole is on a flat area of the bladder, remove the 

backing on one of the patches and press it onto the blad-

der, covering the hole.

16.  Set the bladder aside for approximately 20 minutes to dry.

17.  Again, inflate the bladder and check to make sure it is now 

holding air.

18.  If you have repaired the holes in the bladder, coat the 

entire bladder in talcum powder to assist insertion back 

into the sleeve. (OPTIONAL)

19.  Deflate once again. 

20.  Tie the flying line from the end of the strut opening onto 

the valve.

21.  Lay the bladder flat at the end of the strut, so that you may 

now feed it back into the sleeve.

22.  Gently feed the valve, followed by the rest of the bladder, 

into the sleeve.

23.  From the valve opening of the sleeve, you will pull the 

flying line out of the sleeve, while pulling the bladder back 

into place.

24.  Once the bladder is replaced, pull the valve back into the 

hole of the sleeve and remove the  

flying line from its base. (FIG 9)

25.   Push the base clip between the base of the valve and the 

Strut Dacron.

26.  Inflate the strut partially to make sure the bladder fits into 

all four corners of the sleeve.

27.  Attach the Air Distribution tube to the valve making sure it 

is seated all the way to the end. Apply the Cable Tie to the 

indented location on the Tubing and pull tight.  Orientate 

the cable Tie to the bottom of the Valve.  Cut tail of Cable 

tie of as close as possible. Pull the Valve cover over the as-

sembled part and secure on the Sprint Base. (FIG 10)
