Screen Deflation & Repacking

It is recommended to remove the screen from the frame before packing to prevent damage and creases in the screen.

1.To deflate the frame, uncap one of the air valves from either base. (Fig.30)

2.Press in on the inner check valve. After 20 seconds the seal should lock into place. This will allow you to squeeze most of the air out prior to hooking up the pump. (Fig.31)

3.Squeeze the air out of the frame until it’s deflated to ground level. (Fig.32)

4.Connect the hose to the deflation inlet on the pump. Connect the other side of the hose to the air valve on either base. (Fig.33 shows both the 8’ & 12’ model pump and where the hose connects to the deflation inlet.)

5.Turn the pump to the “on” position for the next few steps.

6.Layout the frame as shown in figure 34.

7.Fold each base in half. Now begin to roll the frame from one base down to the next base. (Fig.35)

8.Turn the pump “off” after the screen is rolled up for storage. (Fig.36)

9.Unplug & remove the pump from the frame. Pack the pump up and away for storage.

Note: The pump can be used intermittently as you deflate and pack up the frame. Feel free to use it when necessary to deflate any air as needed throughout the entire deflation/repacking process.
