Inflatable Products – Aquaglide makes some of the highest quality inflatable products in
the world. With proper care and maintenance, our products are expected to last for years
under normal use. We list important tips and instructions below. If unsure about any point,
please reach us through our website at Aquaglide.com/contact-us.
Note: see Anchoring instructions (below) before inflating this item. Strong winds can make it
difficult to control this product. Be aware of weather conditions before installation.
Air Pump - Use an air pump recommended for inflating your product. For products this
size, use of a high-volume electrical pump is best. Air pressure requirements are low
– 5.0psi (0,35bar) or less. Air compressors designed for high-pressure inflation are not
recommended because they can easily lead to over-inflation.
Valve(s) – This product uses Halkey Roberts – type (HR) valves. Valve attaches to product
using a threaded backing plate, making it easily replaceable in the
unlikely event of damage.
Access valve using a coin or flat tool to twist the tamper-resistant
cap counter-clockwise. To close, insert the cap and twist clockwise
using the same tool. Note: cap is the secondary air seal. See A.
To inflate, an air pump with Halkey Roberts – type (HR) valve fitting
is required. Insert fitting into valve and twist
clockwise to lock in place. See B.
Valve Operation: To operate Halkey Roberts
– type (HR) valve, press plunger and turn 90
degrees to set valve for inflate and product use
(plunger out = 1-way airflow). Press plunger and
turn 90 degrees to deflate (plunger in = 2-way
airflow). Note: valve is primary air seal. After
inflation, close with cap for secondary seal. See C.
Pressure Release Valve: Product is fitted
with a pressure release valve (PRV) in critical
chamber(s) to help provide catastrophic protection
against damage caused by over-inflation. It is still
necessary to check and regulate air pressure to
maintain proper working pressure levels. PRV
has a unique setting specified to release above, and to close near
working pressure. PRV attaches to product using a threaded
backing plate, making it easily serviceable. See D.
Proper Working Pressure for each chamber is listed below. Do
not overfill or underfill. Excessive pressure can cause damage to the
product and may void the warranty. Do not use without adequate
air pressure. Product can become unstable if underfilled and may
not support indicated capacity. Use a pressure gauge (manometer) to carefully monitor air
pressure in the product especially during hot or cool periods.
