If the board is losing air but there are no bubbles, it is likely that a valve is defective. To check, proceed as follows:
1. First screw the cap onto the valve by turning it clockwise.
2. Then apply some soapy water to the closed cap. If bubbles form, replace the valve (see "Replacing valves").

2. Fully unscrew the cap on the valve by turning it counter clockwise and place it aside.
3. Place the valve key on the top part of the valve.
4. Grasp the part of the valve inside the board with your hands to prevent it from sliding into the board.
5. Remove the top part of the valve from the board by turning it counter clockwise.
6. Place the replacement valve on the bottom part of the valve and turn it clockwise to tighten. Make sure the valve is
centred.
