REPAIRING SMALL PUNCTURES
Inadvertent punctures can be repaired using 3 different methods
described below.
Included “Sticky Back Repair Patch” (included with select models
only)
1. Thoroughly clean and dry the damaged area. Completely deflate
the product.
2. Cut a portion of the patch to cover the puncture and allow an
additional ¼” on all sides. Always cut a round patch, never leave
square corners.
3. Be sure the repair area is completely dry.
4. Peel the backing from the patch.
5. Adhere the patch to the puncture.
6. Using your thumb or finger, apply even pressure across the entire
surface of the patch.
Included Vinyl Repair Patch (included with select models only)
If your model does not include the Sticky Repair Patch noted above,
then it will come with a Vinyl Repair Patch. This vinyl repair patch
does not include vinyl glue, but it can be purchased from any home
or hardware store (PVC cement).
1. Thoroughly clean and dry the damaged area. Completely deflate
the product.
2. Cut a portion of the patch to cover the puncture and allow an
additional ¼” on all sides. Always cut a round patch, never leave
square corners.
3. Be sure the repair area is completely dry.
4. Apply generous coat glue to the vinyl repair patch and to the
product.
5. Allow the glue to dry for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the glue becomes
tacky.
6. Apply the patch to the product, using your thumb or finger; apply
even pressure across the entire surface of the patch. Make
sure the edges of the patch are pressed down along the entire
diameter.
7. Allow the product to dry for at least 10 hours before inflating and
using.
