- Clean and dry the area around the puncture thoroughly.

8. Troubleshooting
8.1 Float is losing air
- Check Valve Caps: Ensure all inflation valve caps are securely closed.
- Inspect for Punctures: Inflate the float and submerge it in water, or apply soapy water to the surface. Look for bubbles, which indicate a leak. Use the repair patch as described in Section 7.3.
- Temperature Changes: Air pressure inside the float can decrease in cooler temperatures, making it appear under-inflated. Re-inflate slightly if necessary.
8.2 Difficulty Inflating
- Valve Position: Ensure the pump nozzle is properly inserted into the valve and that the valve is fully open for inflation.
- Pump Functionality: Verify that your air pump is working correctly and providing sufficient airflow.
