2. Deflate the main chamber. To deflate your unit, uncap valve to release and allow air to
escape quickly and easily. Then place the deflation portion of the inflation/deflation device
into the valve and remove all remaining air. You will know you have all the air out when the
unit is flat and wrinkled. Replace stem plug back into the valve.

3. Wipe the product off with a terry cloth towel and allow to air dry completely. Store for next use.

MAINTENANCE

Maintenance is essential to increase the life of your product. Please follow all maintenance
and repairs according to this manual. If you are unsure please contact The Shrunks directly.

- Inspect product regularly for potentially unsafe conditions, particularly after storms,
and suspected misuse of product.
- Do not use product if repair is needed.

the time the product is discarded.

CLEANING

If your Inflatable Bed Rail is used intensively, then it should be cleaned on a weekly basis.
It is also important to clean and dry the product before it is packed away.
- When cleaning your product never use strong detergents or silicone-based products.
- Also never use high pressure cleaning equipment such as a “pressure washer”.
This will result in damage to your product.
- Clean the outside surface only
- Clean your Inflatable Bed Rail with soap and fresh water and check that the valves are
clean and not damaged.

STORAGE

When storing your Inflatable Bed Rail, keep it in a clean and dry place that is not affected by
major variations in temperatures and other damaging factors. You can store your Inflatable
Bed Rail deflated and rolled up or lightly inflated. Be careful never to stack anything on top
of Inflatable Bed Rail.

REPAIRS

All of the inflatable products include repair kit patches. You can easily repair minor
punctures and cuts. This kit includes 2 round pieces of self-adhesive material to patch the
Inflatable Bed Rail.

1. Remove valve stem plug to inflate. Allows rapid inflation/defla-
tion. Note: the rubber flap allows air to stay in, but does not allow
air to escape.

2. Close valve stem plug to secure air chamber.

3. To deflate: Open valve stem plug. Push rubber flap open. This
will allow air to rush out. Then, push rubber flap until it is held in
place. This will allow full deflation while folding product.

Be aware of your temperatures! Weather will affect the air volume /pressure in your unit.
Variations of temperatures can make the inflatable seem to lose or gain air. This is normal.

Heat - causes air to expand and PVC to feel soft to the touch. If air is expanding and it feels
like the unit is hard and does not allow a small depression when pushed on with your hand,
you will need to release some air to avoid over-inflation.
* If the air is warm and PVC feels soft to the touch, do not add air. This will stretch the
material and cause seam problems and over-inflation.

Cold - causes air to condense. When the sun comes out and the temperature rises the
air will again expand in the unit. If you are experiencing a cool span you may want to add
additional air. Be careful when the temperature rises that the unit does not become over-
inflated. Damage due to over-inflation voids the warranty. All inflatables are sensitive to
cold, therefore never unfold or inflate in temperatures below 50 degrees.

DEFLATION

Prior to deflation, remove all children from the unit!

1. Use one of the Inflator/Deflator devices. Recommended in the “Inflation” Section for faster
deflation.
