WARNING
READ AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS TO AVOID DROWNING OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
Improper use of this product, including reckless or careless behavior, neglect
or misuse of the product, or inadequate supervision of children and
others using the product, can result in serious personal injury or death.
Always act responsibly and provide proper supervision for children and others
using the product.
It is the owner’s responsibility to inform all users of the product safety
rules and warnings contained herein.
WARNING
- This is not a lifesaving device. Not for use by children except under mature, adult supervision. Keep children in sight and within quick reach while in the water.
- To avoid serious injury, do not stand on the product.
- Never allow jumping or diving onto or from the product.
- Inspect the area beneath and around the product before each use to ensure adequate clearance from obstructions.
- Do not float or drift farther from shore or pool edge than you can swim. Tie off to a fixed object or anchor to prevent drifting unsafe distances.
- Do not use it in high winds or waves or where strong water currents are present.
- Do not use in severe weather or when the chance of lightning is present.
- The use of a U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device (PFD) is highly recommended.
- Never tow from a boat or other motorized vehicle.
- Secure access. Deflate and store when not in use.
- Never use the product while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Do not use air compressors or compressed air to inflate. Excessive pressure can cause the product to rupture, with potentially damaging force to eyes, ears, skin, and limbs.
Understanding Air Temperatures
It is important to understand that the air pressure in your inflatable will
fluctuate depending on air and water temperatures. Heat causes air to expand
while cooler temperature causes air to condense.
When you first inflate your product, the air going into it will likely be
warm. Let the product acclimate to the cooler water or outside temperature and
add some air if necessary before using.
Likewise, when the sun comes out and the temperatures rise, the air inside
your inflatable will expand. On very hot days, you will need to release some
air to prevent your product from being damaged due to overpressure.
Add or release air accordingly throughout the day as temperatures change to
maintain proper firmness during use.
To provide maximum life to your product, avoid exposure to extreme
temperatures (hot or cold).
Inflating and Set Up Instructions
CAUTION: DO NOT OVER-INFLATE.
- Inflation and setup should be done, or supervised, by a competent adult.
- Inflate slowly until most of the wrinkles in the material are gone and the air chambers first feel firm to the touch. Do not continue to inflate past this point.
- Do not use air compressors or compressed air to inflate. Use of an air compressor or over-inflation can rupture the product beyond repair and void any warranty.
Step 1 Lay the product face up on a flat surface. Make sure there are no
sharp objects under the product which might puncture the vinyl.
Step 2 Locate the valves. The number and type of valve may vary with the
product.
Step 3 Using an electric inflator or hand pump, inflate the main
(largest) chamber first until firm. Close the valve by inserting the valve
plug fully into the valve body. Push it in so it is flush with the surface of
the product.
Step 4 If your product has additional air chambers, inflate in order of
smallest to largest. Make sure the valve plugs are fully seated into the valve
body and the valves are depressed into the product.
NOTE: It sometimes helps to moisten the valve plug first before inserting
it into the valve body.
Proper Use Instructions
To reduce the risk of injury using this product, follow these guidelines:
- Familiarize yourself with the current conditions where you plan to use the product. Use common sense and caution when using in unfamiliar settings.
- Do not overload the product. Overloading can cause damage to the product and the safety of the users will be jeopardized.
- Inspect the product before each use. Do not use if there are any signs of deterioration or damage. Repair or replace before use.
- Take extra care not to have sharp objects on or around this product as it could easily be punctured.
- The product was designed for leisurely activity. Do not bounce, jump or allow horseplay as it could result in damage to the product and injury to the user(s).
Cleaning and Storage
- When the inflatable product is not being used, it is recommended that you 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 mild soap and fresh water. NEVER USE PETROLEUM-BASED PRODUCTS OR SOLVENTS FOR CLEANING.
- The product should be completely dry while stored.
- Store in a cool, dry location. Do not store products directly on concrete surfaces. Place mothballs around stored inflatable to keep mice and insects away.
Repairs
For minor holes or tears:
- Inflate the product and locate the leak by spraying or wiping it with mild soapy water or by dunking it under water. Air bubbles will form and grow at the position of air leakage. Mark the location of leakage.
- Cut a patch larger than the diameter of the hole. Make sure all corners of the patch are rounded. · Deflate the product and clean the area around the hole. Wipe the area with rubbing alcohol to remove any residue. Let dry.
- Peel backer from the patch.
- Lay the product on a flat, hard surface and apply the patch using a dull, hard tool like a wooden spoon or roller. Working from the center to the outer edge, rub out any air bubbles between the patch and the product.
- The product may be used right away.
