RAVE Sports 12' Saturn - Manual (Page 11)

Please note: rodents, such as mice, chew on fabric, including inflatable
material. As a precaution you can place moth balls or fabric softener sheets
around the products during storage to deter them.
REPAIRS
All of the inflatable products include a repair kit. You can easily repair
minor punctures and cuts and even anchor plates or handles.
Conditions necessary for a successful repair are:
•
Relative humidity less than 65%.
•
Temperature Range between 62° - 77° F.
•
Avoid performing repairs in direct sunlight or rain.
Step 1 - Locate the damaged area. The easiest way is to fully inflate the
product and listen for the leak, or to spray with soapy water and look for
bubbles. Mark the damaged area with a crayon or wax pencil and deflate
the product.
Step 2 – Cut out a patch approximately 2 inches larger than the leak.
Clean the damaged part of the product and patch and allow drying
thoroughly.
TIP – It is a good idea to always use a circle or rectangle patch with
rounded corners. Pointed corners tend to pull off.
Step 3 – Next clean the area and the patch with alcohol, grease
remover, or fingernail polish remover and allow drying thoroughly.
Step 4 - Apply glue in a very thin layer to the patch and then to the
area of the leak. Let the glue stand until tacky, usually 30 seconds – 1
minute.
