the float does not seem to have a one way valve when inflating, so air escapes the second you stop inflating. How are you inflating these things?

We figured out that if you use your tounge to push the stopper into place you won't lose any air.

Because I was in a hurry to use it, I just did it by mouth and quickly capped it so I didn't have this problem. Maybe it is more difficult if you inflate it with a needle?! I'm over 70 so it was a little difficult for me to get on initially but once I found out how it works for me I no longer have that problem.

As soon as you finish inflating to desired firmness, immediately push in the valve so it's flush with the raft material: it will not leak air after you do this. Then place the valve plug into the valve.

I recommend that you check the following: 1. Is the Stanley 450 fully charged? 2. Is the tubing properly connected to the body of the Stanley 450 at one end and to the valve that attached to the item to be inflated at the other end? 3. Are there any leaks along the tubing or at the ends? 4. Is the tubing blocked? (If the pressure as indicated on the pressure gauge increases significantly when you run the compressor, but no air comes out the end, then then there may be a blockage.) Hope you are able to resolve.

try disconnecting the air line, then press the lever on your inflator just like your putting air into the tire, you will find this reverse procedure will allow the air in the tire to escape.

To inflate, you merely open the air valve, and the cushion inflates automatically. Once it is inflated, you close the valve. There is no need to blow air in to the valve. To let the air out, open the valve and then roll up the cushion to squeeze out the air. Then, close the valve.

Hi, on the side there is air piece that you pull out like on a inflatable raft or a beach ball. I used an air compressor as it will take a very long time to blow it up by mouth.

Make sure the air lock is set. inside the inlet were the hose hooks up to is a white knob you must turn to the lock position before inflating or the air will escape.

For me I just use a little battery operated pump , air it up till it feels moderately tight then go for it. Just a word of advice....be mindful that on a hot day they will get too tight and you should beach land it a relieve a little pressure. on a cold day I had it all pumped up, threw it on the trailer and headed to the lake, when I got there it was deflated considerably due to the cold. I pumped it up and away it goes. Its a awesome rig. Get U 1, FISH ON!

It could be that you didn't fill the float with water by holding it underwater for a minute or two when you 1st installed it. That was barely mentioned in the instructions but sounds like something that would assist in moving the float down.

This boat is very easy to inflate and to deflate you just open the valves and the air just gushes out. Easy all the way around. I found it to be a very nice and good quality boat. Hope this helps you with your decision.

A valve stem tool would be handy. It is best to remove the valve core, squeeze in the amount of Slime you want, replace the core and re-inflate. That way the Slime goes in faster and the core won't get as gummed up.

June, I personally have never had to deflate it but I can't foresee that as any problem. Just pull the plug and let it deflate. Inflating it was simple! Hope this helps. P.S.This is still a HUGE favourite with my granddaughter. Can say enough good about this product!

You need to bite the valve very low when you blow into it. It was very difficult the first time we inflated it but after that it does get easier.

you have to plug it into a wall socket to inflate it. I don't think there is anyway to inflate it without plugging it in. I didn't see a way nor did it mention how to do that in the instructions, without plugging in that is.

At the end of the tube you blew in to inflate it--there is a valve you push in --this will allow the air to come out and therefore deflate the vest. Great vest!

When you unroll it, it inflates. You have to do this a couple of times before it fully inflates.

yes, i just checked for you. the part that screws into the pump is a one way valve so the air isn't released.

Separate fill ports to inflate it. I did use a air compressor. It is pretty big.
