Aqua Marina Vibrant BT-18VI Manual De Instrucciones página 8

Tips
• After 2 or 3 days there may be a small decrease of pressure due to temperature change. If so, add a
few pumps of air.
• Before undertaking a long paddle, inflate the board for a full 24 hours to make sure the board is
airtight. If you are seeing a consistent decrease in air pressure, follow the instructions for leak
detection in the board repair section of this manual.
• DO NOT over-inflate the board. A max. pressure of 15 psi is adequate. The easiest gauge of a good
working pressure is to have the chambers inflated to a firm pressure when you press on them.
• DO NOT pump to a high pressure and let the board sit out in the hot sun. If the board is going to be
in a warm environment, slightly deflate the board and allow the heat from the sun to increase the
internal pressure. When paddling, the colder temperature of the water may cause a slight loss in
chamber pressure. It is a good idea to carry a pump with you so that you can add some air to the
chambers if necessary.
INSTRUCTION FOR CARE AND STORAGE
Aqua Marina has applied premium fabric to provide superior protection from ultraviolet light.
However, to ensure extra years of flexibility and bright colors, avoid storing the board where it will be
exposed to weather or in direct sunlight. Please review the following list for storage and board care
tips.
• Before storing, hose off the board and let it dry completely to prevent mildew buildup.
• If used in sea water, wash the board with fresh water before storing.
• Do not use harsh chemicals for cleaning. Most dirt can be removed with a mild soap and fresh
water.
• You may store the board inflated or deflated. If you deflate the board, we recommend that you store
it in the protective bag that came with the board.
• If storing the board outdoors, raise it up off the ground and cover it with a tarp to prevent
exposure to the sun.
• Hanging the board is not recommended.
• Do not store in extreme conditions (i.e. above 66°C/150°F or below -23°C/-10°F).
• Store in a clean and dry place.
D
Board Deflation
• Clear any water or debris out of the valve areas.
• Slowly press down on the valve stem to start letting air out of the board. There will be an initial
burst of air, but that will slow down very quickly. Once the air flow has slowed down, press the
valve stem all the way down and turn it clockwise to lock it into the "OPEN" position.
