Carefully remove the SlingBoard Deck and wheels from the box and packaging. All parts are displayed and labeled in the Parts Diagrams and List at the back of these instructions for your reference. 2. Inspect each Wheel (4) to make sure that each tire is well seated and centered in each of the rims. You may do this by holding the Wheel up and visually inspecting both sides where the tire tucks into the rim. Make sure that it is fully seated into the rim all the way around that area without any bulges or misalignment. If you see that it is misaligned or bulged out in any area you may push it in to seat properly with your fingers. Do this for all four (4) wheels to help ensure that the tires inflate properly.

3. Next remove the air fill stem cap from one of the tires and use a bicycle air pump to inflate, attach the air pump as shown below. 4. Inflate the tire slowly and take time in between each pump to make sure that the tire is still well seated and centered on the rim, if not adjust as needed per step 2. Inflate the tube to 35 PSI for best performance; do not overinflate as doing so could cause damage to the tire and injury. Inflate all four (4) wheels to the proper pressure then hand thread the air fill stem caps back onto all four (4) wheels. Page 5 of 13
5. At the end of each Truck Axle where each Wheel is attached are two (2) Axle Washers and one Axle Nut for the Wheel assembly. Locate these parts. 6. Remove one of Axle Washers and the Axle Nut from one of the Axle ends and set them aside, leave one Axle Washer on and push it in as far as possible. Next slide one of the wheels onto the Axle end and push it in as far as possible toward that Axle Washer. Page 6 of 13
7. Next slide the other Axle Washer onto the end of that Axle and in toward the Wheel. Then hand thread the Axle Nut for that Wheel onto the end of that Axle. 8. Next use a 14mm deep socket wrench to tighten that Axle Nut further onto the Axle threads. Tighten it in until it starts to feel snug. Spin the wheel to see if it spins freely, if so then that Wheel is properly installed. If the Wheel is restricted and does not spin freely then unthread that Axle Nut by 1/4 turn and spin it again to check. Repeat this until the Wheel spins freely. Then repeat for the three other wheels. Page 7 of 13
9. Next turn the SlingBoard over to adjust the Kingpin bolts. Locate the Kingpin bolt in each Truck. 10. It is recommended that first time SlingBoarders start with the Kingpin bolt tight, as this will keep the steering tight and make it easier to control the SlingBoard. Experienced SlingBoarders may skip this step if they prefer their trucks and steering looser. To tighten the steering use a 14mm deep socket wrench to tighten down the Kingpin bolt. Tighten it down until it is snug, then back it out 1/4 turn. 11. Test this Kingpin setting by standing on the SlingBoard and leaning side-to-side to see if you are able to tilt the SlingBoard and control it well. If the steering is too tight then back the Kingpin bolt out another 1/4 turn and test again. Do this until you can steer the SlingBoard with good control. Once you are a more comfortable and experienced rider you may back the Kingpin bolts out further for more dramatic steering with deeper and tighter turns. Your SlingBoard is now ready to ride!

FLAT TIRE REPAIR Tools Required: - 14mm deep socket wrench - Bicycle type air pump - Phillips head screwdriver - Flat head screwdriver 1. Remove the Axle Nut and outside Axle Washer securing the Wheel with the damaged tube or tire using a 14mm deep socket wrench. 2. Slide the wheel off of the Axle and remove the air fill stem cap. Next use the head of a Philips screwdriver to gently press the air release pin at the center of the air fill stem. Press it down until you hear the air no longer releasing. Page 9 of 13
3. Next you will pull the tire sideways to remove it from the rim. You may use a flat head screwdriver to very carefully pry the tire off. Take great care not to damage the rim or tire when prying it off. 4. Then remove the tube from the inside of the tire if damaged. Replace the tire and/or tube if damaged. Insert the new tube into the tire and take care to lay it inside evenly. Align the air fill stem with the air fill hole in the rim, then pull the new tire/tube onto the rim from the side. Take care to make sure that the air fill stem stays straight as you pull it through the rim. Next go back to Step 2 in the SET UP process on page 5 of these instructions to finish out the steps for inflating and installing that wheel back onto the SlingBoard. The wheel has been repaired.
