How to use Vango's AirSpeed Valve

Step-by-Step Guide to Inflating and Deflating Your Vango AirBeam using their AirSpeed Valve
Setting up and taking down your Vango AirBeam awning or tent is a straightforward process when you follow the correct steps. This guide will walk you through both inflating and deflating your AirBeamĀ®, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience.
Step 1: Preparing for Inflation

Step 2: Setting the Valve to the Closed Position

If the valve is in the "OPEN" position, push and rotate the button to the "CLOSED" position. This step is essential to allow inflation without air escaping. If needed, turn the pump adaptor fully until you hear a āclick,ā ensuring a secure fit and proper alignment.
Step 3: Inflate the AirBeam

Connect your pump to the valve, ensuring it is secure to avoid air leakage. Inflate the AirBeamĀ® to the recommended pressure of 7-8 psi. This pressure ensures the AirBeamĀ® is sturdy and reliable while maintaining the durability of the structure. Avoid overinflating, as this can strain the materials.
Step 4: Securing the Valve After Inflation

Once the AirBeamĀ® is fully inflated, replace the locking cap on the valve. Turn the cap until itās in the locked position. This step prevents accidental air release and keeps your AirBeamĀ® in optimal condition.
Quick Tip: The top of the locking cap can double as a key to help twist the valve, especially if your hands are cold, gloved, or less nimble.
Step 5: Deflating the AirBeam
When it's time to pack up, remove the cap from the valve. Press and turn the button from the "CLOSED" position to "OPEN" to release the air. Allow the AirBeamĀ® to fully deflate before folding or rolling it for storage.

With these steps, you can ensure your Vango AirBeamĀ® is easy to use and remains in excellent condition for many camping trips to come. Whether youāre setting up a drive-away awning or a tent, following these guidelines will help you enjoy a stress-free experience.
