the bladder back into the kite, you<br />
will optionally mount movement<br />
limiter ring* over the valve neck<br />
to the valve base. Then push valve<br />
insert all the way into the valve.<br />
Secure the valve and insert with<br />
click-clips. Attach the hose back<br />
and secure it with tie-wraps.<br />
That’s it!<br />
