Inflation & Valve Operation Guide
Initial Setup & Safety Check
First, please verify that the voltage matches your power supply. Always ensure the air hose is securely connected to the proper port before turning on the air pump.
Valve Position Settings
↑ INFLATION (Closed Position)
Push the stem to see if it depresses about 1/4 inch (FIG. 4). If not, rotate the stem 1/4 turn left until it pops out. This ensures air stays locked inside once the pump is removed.
↓ DEFLATION (Open Position)
Push and rotate the stem so it stays depressed in the "Open" position. This allows air to escape freely for efficient storage.

Pressure Management & Safety
⚠️ MANDATORY: Someone must man the air pump AT ALL TIMES to prevent over-inflation.
- • Optimal Pressure: Inflate the body to 1.75 PSI. A properly inflated slide should feel solid and firm. When slapped, it should produce a clear "pinging" sound.
- • Using the PRV (Pressure Relief Valve): If a gauge is unavailable, inflate until the PRV begins to release air. This valve protects the internal structure from damage.
- • Critical Note: The PRV may NOT release air fast enough to prevent catastrophic damage if the pump is left unsupervised. Monitor the PRV closely.
Troubleshooting Pressure: If in doubt, stop the pump and check the PRV. If it's releasing air, wait until it stops on its own (reaching the preset PSI) before securing the valve cap.
