Problems With The Sup Board; Resolve Air Loss In The Sup Board - SPORTSTECH WPB320 Manuel

14. PROBLEMS WITH THE SUP BOARD

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE
Pressure too high Temperature increase
Direct sunlight
Pressure too low Temperature reduction
Air loss because:
- Valve protection cap crooked
or not tight
- Valve leaking
- Leak in SUP board
In the case of pressure fluctuations, note that heat and direct sunlight increase the air pressure. Cold, on
the other hand, lowers the air pressure: after a cold night, the SUP board can be soft, while it becomes
firmer again as the temperature rises.
• However, always make sure there is no leak!

Locate and Repair Leak at the Valve
1. Inflate the SUP board to around 0.5 bar (7 psi) and pour water over it: Look for air bubbles as an
indicator of leaks.
2. heck that the valve protection cap and the seals are intact and
tight.
3. Check that the valve is clean.
4. If necessary, tighten the non-return valve. For this:
- Push the pin of the valve down so that it is locked there.
- Using the special wrench from the repair kit supplied, turn the
pin slightly clockwise.
- If necessary, inflate the SUP board again to around 0.5 bar (7 psi) and pour water over it: look for
air bubbles as an indicator of leaks. Check the valve for leaks.
5. If the non-return valve is tight, dry the valve with a clean cloth and screw on the valve protection cap.
