Assembling Your Aqua Dock

Inflation

Roll out the Aqua Dock on flat ground or on a flat area at the end of your boat with the boat motor turned off. Make sure the area is free of rocks, sticks or other sharp objects that could puncture or damage the product. Use the enclosed hand pump to inflate the Aqua Dock, or for more rapid inflation and deflation we recommend using the RAVE Rapid Inflator / Deflator. (Item

03063 not included; sold separately at

www.ravesports.com) To check the exact pressure of your product, the use of a RAVE Digital Pressure Gauge (Item #02809, sold separately on www.ravesports.com) is recommended. Use the enclosed hand pump to inflate the Aqua Dock, or for more rapid inflation and deflation we recommend using the RAVE Rapid Inflator / Deflator. (Item #03063 not included; sold separately at www.ravesports.com)

To lock open valve, depress the stem and rotate ¼ turn clockwise. To close valve, depress the stem and rotate ¼ turn counter-clockwise. The valve stem should be in the depressed position while inflating. Replace cap on valve after inflation to ensure air tight
seal. If you are using the RAVE Rapid  Inflator / Deflator (Item #03063), simply lock the adaptor onto the end of the inflation hose and insert into the valve body. Turn ¼ turn to lock in place.

To check the exact pressure of your product the use of a RAVE Digital Pressure Gauge (Item #02809, sold separately on www.ravesports.com) is recommended.

NOTE : This inflation adaptor will automatically open the valve when inserted and will close the valve when removed. You do not need to manually open/close the valve when using this special adaptor. Inflate until firm. The Rapid Inflator will inflate the Aqua Dock to approx. 5 psi (0,34). This is a recommended inflation pressure for up to 10 adults or 14 children. DO NOT INFLATE BEYOND 5 psi (0,34 bar) to avoid damage. If inflating on land, use 2 or more people to carry the product to the water.

CAUTION : To avoid risk of puncture or damage to the product, DO NOT DRAG the product. Always carry it to the water. Float the Aqua Dock to the desired location for anchoring or tethering.

Anchoring or Tethering

There are two anchor attachment points (one at each end on the bottom) of the Aqua Dock. Attach anchor(s) or tether lines to those points to prevent the wind from swinging the product to an undesirable direction. The Aqua Dock is now ready for use!

To Deflate:
Rapid deflation can be achieved using the “deflate” side of the motor housing. Attach the hose to the deflate side of the motor housing and lock the valve adaptor into the valve.

Using the Aqua Dock™
CAUTION! The surface of the Aqua Dock can become wet and slippery. Refrain from horseplay or other activity that could cause collisions and falls, resulting in injury.

WARNING : DROWNING HAZARD

NEVER ATTEMPT TO SWIM UNDER THE AQUA DOCK. THE AQUA DOCK IS A LARGE OBJECT ON THE WATER WITH NO PLACE TO COME UP FOR AIR IF YOU ARE BENEATH IT. The Aqua Dock is designed to be used as a stand alone product, not to be attached to various other RAVE Sports products. If you intend to connect an Aqua Dock to other RAVE Sports products, you should purchase an Aqua Mat Deluxe which has connection features.

Folding Instructions

After using your Aqua Dock it is best to deflate and fold for storage. This helps prevent damage and extends the life of your product.

1. Step 1 Carry the Aqua Dock to land and deflate or carefully deflate on a flat surface on your boat. Be extremely careful not to drag the product.
2. Step 2 Let the Aqua Dock dry for 15 minutes or longer in the sun and then flip over and repeat for the other side. (Dry with a towel, if necessary, to ensure it is completely dry before folding).
3. Step 3 Lay the Aqua Dock on a flat surface and fold the Aqua Dock into thirds with the EVA pad sections folded in.
4. Step 4 Starting at the end opposite the inflation valve, begin rolling like a sleeping bag, and continue rolling down the length of the Dock.
5. Step 5 Secure the folded and rolled Aqua Dock with the carry straps provided.

Cleaning and Storage

• When the inflatable product is not being used, store it in a covered, shaded area. This will help protect it against ultraviolet (UV) rays and extend the life of the product.
• Clean the inflatable completely with a mild soap and fresh water. NEVER USE PETROLEUM BASED PRODUCTS OR SOLVENTS FOR CLEANING. NEVER USE A POWER WASHER SINCE THE HIGH PRESSURE WATER JET WILL DAMAGE THE TUBE BEYOND REPAIR.
• Product should be completely dry and remain dry while stored.
• Roll the product loosely and place in a container, preferably one that rodents can’t chew through.
• Secure against unauthorized or unsupervised use.
• Store in a cool, dry location. Do not store product directly on concrete surface. Place mothballs around stored inflatable to keep mice and insects away.

Important
Rodents like muskrats may be attracted to the PVC vinyl of your product. When your product is on the water, maintaining full air pressure during periods of non-use will discourage them from chewing the vinyl. Another way to ease the problem of nuisance rodents is to remove the temptation by taking the product out of the water at night. You can also make the whole area unattractive to rodents by changing the environment, making the area less hospitable for rodents. Removing any food source from the shoreline can also be a good deterrent. Check with your local DNR for additional guidance or possible restrictions

Repairs
For large holes, tears or seam failures, contact RAVE Sports at 1-800-659-0790. Additional repair patches can be found online at www.ravesports.com.

For minor holes and tears:

• Inflate the product and locate the leak by spraying the tube with mild soapy water.
• Determine the hole size and cut a patch 1-2 inches (3-5 cm) wider than the diameter of the hole. Make sure all corners of the patch are rounded.
• Deflate the product and clean the patch and area around the hole with rubbing alcohol. Let dry completely.
• READ AND UNDERSTAND THE WARNINGS ON THE GLUE CONTAINER.
• Apply glue to the patch and the area around the hole. Let the glue dry until it is tacky to the touch. (About 30 seconds).
• Lay the product on a flat, hard surface and apply the patch. Working from the center to the outer edge, rub out any air bubbles between the patch and the product.
• Let patch dry for 24 hours before attempting to inflate the product.
