Screen Deflation & Repacking
It is recommended to remove the screen from the frame before packing to prevent damage and creases in the screen.
1. To deflate the frame, uncap one of the air
valves from either base. (Fig.30)
2. Press in on the inner check valve. After 20
seconds the seal should lock into place. This
will allow you to squeeze most of the air out
prior to hooking up the pump. (Fig.31)
3. Squeeze the air out of the frame until it’s
deflated to ground level. (Fig.32)
4. Connect the hose to the deflation inlet on
the pump. Connect the other side of the hose
to the air valve on either base. (Fig.33 shows
both the 8’ & 12’ model pump and where the
hose connects to the deflation inlet.)
5. Turn the pump to the “on” position for the
next few steps.
6. Layout the frame as shown in figure 34.
7. Fold each base in half. Now begin to roll
the frame from one base down to the next
base. (Fig.35)
8. Turn the pump “off” after the screen is
rolled up for storage. (Fig.36)
9. Unplug & remove the pump from the
frame. Pack the pump up and away for
storage.
Note: The pump can be used intermittently
as you deflate and pack up the frame. Feel
free to use it when necessary to deflate any
air as needed throughout the entire
deflation/repacking process.
