Trouble Shooting
•
If your boat appears to have lost air, first check that all valves are tightly shut. Also, notice if the
temperature has cooled. As stated before, this may cause the pressure to decrease. If either of these have
occurred, add air to return the boat to pressure.
•
Sometimes the high pressure valve may become loose. To check this, use the supplied valve
wrench in the repair kit to tighten the valve. Turn lightly in clockwise direction. (See diagram #2)

If you suspect a leak, visually inspect the boat. Some punctures are obvious. If you cannot easily
detect any leaks, apply mildly soapy water around the boat and valve areas. Any leak will produce
bubbles.
