3. Disconnect the faulty beam from the AIR transfer hoses connecting it to the rest of the tent. Make sure the isolation
valves are in the closed position on both sides of the AIR transfer hose. Unscrew the front part of the isolation valve until
you can slide it along the grey hose. Pull the grey hose off of the valve. It is not screwed or glued in place, just a tight fit.
Take care not to damage or stretch the grey hose and do not use tools to pry it off.
4. If the air beam you are replacing is 1T through 5T then you will need to disconnect the exterior quick release valve.
unscrew the valve including the larger retaining nut at the back of the vavle. This will allow you to push the rubber part
of the valve connected to the air beam through the maint tent and disconnect it from the inner protective layer.
5. You should now be able to remove the faulty AIR beam inside the inner protective sheath. Please note that it may be
held in place by velcro at the ends. You can now unzip this and remove it for inspection and patching or replacing.
6. Next, take your repaired or replacement AIR Beam and insert it back into the inner protective sheath. Take care to avoid
damaging the exposed rubber beam and do not catch the beam in the zip. Make sure there are no twists in the air beam
and that the valves properly fit through the aperatures in the sheath.
7. Re-insert the beam into the main tent. If the beam is 1T through 5T you can start by feeding the quick release valve back
through to the exterior of the tent and replace the retaining nut and valve.
8. Re-connect the AIR transfer hose on the main tent to the new beam. Push the grey transfer hose over the isolation vavle
on the new beam and screw the front part of the valve back in place on the valve. Please note that you may find this part
on the isolation vavle on your new AIR beam too - of so, please retain this as a spare.
9. If you are satisfied the replacement AIR beam has been inserted correctly and the tube is fully inserted into the valve,
zip the new beam inside the outer protective layers attached to the tent and replace the velcro straps. Position the ends
against the velcro on theother beams or the interior furniture as required.
10. Open your isolation valves on the new beam and on the connecting AIR beams. You should hear and see the new beam
fill with air quickly. Depending on which beam you are replacing, you may need to open the rest of the isolation valves
and press the AIR compressor button to fully inflate the tent.
