Users of the Slide assume all risk and liability.

1. Take the black valve wrench from the repair kit and ensure the air fill valve and the pressure relief valve are tight. Typically, once a year you may need to retighten these valves with the wrench. Warning: Do not ever completely unscrew the valve.

2. Inflating the Slide: Inflating the Slide will take 5-10 minutes, although this does depend on the target psi.

3.1 Ensure the valve pin is in the up position. When the valve pin is up, you can still pump air into the Slide, but it won’t lose any pressure when the pump hose is disconnected.

3.2 Connect the pump hose and inflate the Slide to 5-10 psi, depending on how rigid you'd like it to be. The pump has a PSI gauge, it won’t start reading a pressure until the Slide reaches at least ~3-5 PSI. The Slide has a max air capacity of 10 PSI. The pressure regulator will activate and slowly let air out if max capacity is ever reached.

3.3. Electric pumps and air compressors can also be used. We have adapters and e-pumps if inflating manually is an obstacle. If you have an existing e-pump, feel free to use it. You won’t void any warranty or do any damage to the dock by using an off-brand pump.

Anchoring or tethering the Slide can be done by tethering with a mooring bungee, utility link, or a rope to an anchor, boat, dock, or other Paddle North product. It is recommended to attach from multiple D-rings on the Slide.

1 Deflating the Slide takes just a few minutes. Dry off the Slide before rolling up and putting away for storage.

1.2 Open the valve cap and press down on the center pin for the air valve. The pin will lock in the down position and let all of the air out. Let it sit for a few minutes while air flows out of the Slide.

Optional: Our electric pump does vacuum the air out by switching the hose connector to deflate on pump.

Storing the Slide inflated or deflated is acceptable. If storing deflated, ensure that the Slide is completely dry. If storing in a below freezing temperature, it is better to have the Slide unrolled where the seams won’t be stressed.
