Unplug the bed from your electrical outlet before deflating.

Locate the tab latch on your air valve. The latch wil lbe surrounded by a rim of black vinyl.
-
Peel back the soft vinyl rim. This will expose hard black plastic.
-
Lift this plastic, which surrounds the outer edge of the valve, towards the center of the air valve hole.
Install the New Air Valve
-
Open the valve tab on the replacement air valve.
-
Position the hinge area of the valve onto the hinge support.

With both hands squeeze the softer vinyl rings that rim the air valve hole. Be sure to squeeze these rings towards the center of the air mattress opening.
-
Shove the air mattress vinyl through the opening of the new Quick Release Valve.
-
Check the vinyl for any kinks or bulging areas by doing both a visual assessment and also by rubbing your hands over the area around the new valve.
