Proper use of floating air lids:

1. always fill the tank with wine
2. place the stainless steel float lid on the surface of the wine
3. unscrew the valve on the pump to allow inflation
4. inflate the tube to about 0.7 atm
5. check that the tube is tight against the inner surface of the tank and close the valve of the pump

If the tube does not maintain the pressure, check:

1. that there are no holes
2. the attachment between the air chamber and plastic tube
3. that the air hose clamps are not loose
4. that the gauge is not broken
5. if the pump valve is not working
