right while in the down position. The needle spring will
stay down
and the valve will be
open. you can then simply put any power inflator or Shop Vac up to this opening and fill
the trampoline or banana until firm. Once it is firm, quickly remove the inflator and push
down the needle spring and turn to the left - it will pop back up to the closed position.
how much air is the right amount?
In general, the banana boat or water trampoline is full when it is very firm. An adult
should be able to sit on the tube and only sink a couple of inches. Banana boats need to
be full of air and properly maintained for long product life.
