How do you get the air out?

The easiest way to get the air out is by the displacement method, in which you submerge the bags as far as possible in water while zipping them closed. The water pressure forces most of the air out.

Zip the bag most of the way, except for the corner (stick finger in the corner to hold it open if needed). Then, submerge it in water, submerging the open corner last. The air will come out the open corner. Seal the bag as you finally submerge the last corner.

First make sure everything is latched correctly. Then tilt it from side to side. That should get her air out. Hope this helps.

try disconnecting the air line, then press the lever on your inflator just like your putting air into the tire, you will find this reverse procedure will allow the air in the tire to escape.

You have to squeeze the holes just right while you are blowing the air in. This keeps the air from coming back out between breaths. You have to pinch the valve so that it opens and the air can go through. Hope this helps!

It usually takes me only a few breaths to blow it up. When you blow into it try slightly pinching at the base of the piece that sticks out. Doing this allows more air to flow in at once. Also do this when deflating.

I've always used negative pressure to cool things in a smaller area. This means pull the hot air out.

If it has a pushbutton on the pump, you just push it to let the air out. If it has a thumbscrew, just unscrew it. The other way is just pull the pump off the hose.

Depress the spring loaded button at the tube side of bulb to let the air out of pressurized side of bag. Roll the bag to squeeze all the air out as you release air with depressed button.

Hold in the two buttons on the side and pull it out. It may take a little strength

The best way is to look for bubbles, inflate it as much as you can and then with a pool or river, or even the hose, look for air coming out. Hope this helps. Kendall in Maui

Hold in your hand and put your lips onto the opening hole on top and inhale. I keep mine away from dust and Pet hair. Use as much as you like. Keep on a desk maybe or some place where you can use it while you sit there working. Hope this was helpful.

I usually push it out using a sliding motion with my thumb. If that isn't working, get some needle nose pliers or tweezers and try that way, but apply as LITTLE as pressure as you can if using the pliers.

its not easy but you can get it out. you need to pull really hard from the bottom. it gets easier after a few times. wasn't sure myself but it just didn't seem right that it didn't come out.

i would definitely use a pump or compressor. it is possible by mouth but that would take a while, depending on how much air you have. lol

Use the deflate button and roll each side into the middle and then roll up. Not very heavy and fits under a couchHope this helped. Very study and easy

We found that putting a clothes pin around the valve to "pinch" the valve open lets you get the air out more easily. Gave up on the quick pump and just pushed out air by hand.

I had the same issue and it took a while to figure it out. Since we use it rarely we don't recall how we finally did it. If I recall correctly, the pump mechanism really does not let the air out. I think we took the mechanism off the mattress. You'll have to experiment with it.
