In some extreme loadconditions, the bulb will pull off from the air tube.However, the load remains lifted since the valvecontrols the airflow. The bulb can easily bereplaced onto the air tube for additional pumping.CAUTION SHOULD BE USED when liftingappliances as their sharp edges can cut orpuncture the cushion resulting in rapid loss of lift.THE AIRSHIM IS CERTIFIED by SGS tohold 300 lb for one hour without losing air.
