Re-Inserting Leading Edge Bladder 


1. Before you begin to reinsert the bladder make sure the air valves are aiming in the direction of the valve openings.

2. Fold the bladder according the picture and lay the folded bladder in front of the zipper of the leading edge.

3. Pull carefully on the line coming out of the middle of the leading edge and feed the bladder back into the cavity.

4. Be sure that it is inserted correctly without twisting.

5. When the bladder is completely inserted, make sure that the air valves are positioned correctly in the valve openings.

6. Position the Air Port Valve II in the valve opening. Make sure that the 2 pins of the valve are positioned correctly into the leading edge.

7. Screw the secure ring back onto the valve.

8. Re-attach the rubber hoses to the leading edge valves.

9. Close all lazy-pump-cleats.

10. Fill the leading edge with air carefully.

11. Check that the bladder has been correctly inserted and look for wrinkles in the material. If you

detect any irregularities in the air tube or if the valve is not positioned correctly, deflate and start

over again.

12. Roll up the excess bladder and close the flaps at the wing tips.
