INFLATING THE TUBE
It is recommended to use a low-pressure inflation pump. A high-pressure (air compressor type) may be used but with extreme caution so as not to over- inflate the tube. First, if your tube has smaller chambers like an Inflatable floor, backrests, or bolsters, inflate them first. Second, inflate the main air chambers to approximately 25%. Adjust the tube inside of the cover. To finish, inflate the tube to 85%.
DO NOT OVER INFLATE!
OVERINFLATION MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO YOUR TUBE!
On warm sunny days, it is important to remember to leave room for air to expand, only inflate the tube to about 85%, leave the tube in sunlight for a few minutes prior to use, then check the firmness. -
STORAGE AND CARE
When not in use, rinse off with fresh water and store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. The tube should be deflated if it is not to be used for an extended period of time. Using common sense and reasonable care will greatly extend the life of this product. -
PROPER TOW LINE ATTACHMENT
USE A TOWROPE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO PULL INFLATABLE TUBES!
The rope must be properly attached to work correctly. The loop end of the rope must go through hole 1 prior to wrapping the loop around the cleat. Inspect the molded tow cleat prior to each use; if it shows signs of damage, cracking, or breaking, do not use it.
Important Warning!
Tow line Attachment Directions. The rope MUST be properly attached to work

TOWABLE TUBE USAGE
- Put the loop end of the rope through the hole.
- Place the end of the loop on the bottom of the cleat.
- Pull the rope tight.
If your product has this type of system, please refer to the diagram below. Loop the top nylon strap through the bottom loop and pull up tautly on the nylon strap. Affix your rope to the nylon strap and you will be ready to go.
Special Note: The tow system should only be used as shown in this diagram. Towing from the top or bottom strap alone will cause the tube to function incorrectly and may risk damage to the cover or tube. Damage caused by improper use will void your warranty.

PRODUCT INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
Water sports can be safe and fun for all levels of enthusiasts. The Operator’s
Manual is presented to enhance your enjoyment of the sport. It is intended to
alert you to some of the potentially dangerous conditions that can arise in
all water sports.
To reduce the risk of injury or death, follow these guidelines:
- Carefully read this manual and follow the instructions.
- Only use your tube with a responsible watercraft operator who knows how to operate a watercraft properly.
- Take all reasonable precautions in the use and operation of your tube and boat.
- Teach anyone using your tube how to attach it to the rope, how to ride it, and how to maintain it.
- Use a single tube for no more than one rider and no more than two for a double tube. Do not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended number of riders for your particular tube.
- If the tube is designed for more than one person, take extra precautions to avoid colliding with one another.
- The stress on the rope is different from the stress on the tube, and will vary with the weight of the passengers, design, and surface area of the tube.
- Never strap or attach anyone to the tube or cover. Never put your feet or hands through the strapping of the towing system or handles. Never wedge your hands or feet under the cover or between the cover and the tube.
- Never attempt jumps or dangerous tricks with your tube. If more than one tube is being towed, avoid collisions with other tubes.
- Scout the area before use to avoid any debris or obstacles that might present a safety hazard.
- Know your own limits. Stop when you are tired. Act responsibly. Be in good physical condition and be cautious in your use of this or any other towable tube.
- Check the rope and connector for frays, cuts, sharp edges, knots, or wear before each use. Discard the rope if any such condition exists or if the rope appears to be worn. Such conditions may lead to breaks.
- Do not use tow rope with elastic or bungee material to pull skiers or riders. Such an addition can break or stretch, injuring users or boat occupants.
- Rope is subject to deterioration when exposed to direct sunlight. The life of the product will be extended when stored away from sunlight.
- The tow rope should be replaced when signs of deterioration appear, indicated by the existence of discoloration, wearing, fraying, or raveling.
- Do not add hardware or attachments that are not otherwise supplied by the manufacturer.
WATERSPORTS SAFETY CODE
Water sports are fun and challenging but involve inherent risks of injury or
death.
To increase your enjoyment of the sport and to reduce your risks, use common
sense and follow these rules:
Before you start:
-
Familiarize yourself with all applicable federal, state and local laws, the risks inherent in the sport and the proper use of the equipment.
-
Know the waterways.
-
Always have a person other than the driver as an observer.
-
Skier/ rider, observer and driver must agree on hand signals.
-
Never start out until skier/ rider signals he/ she is ready.
-
Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning from engine exhaust may cause injury or death.
Do not sit on the boat transom or swim platform while the engine is running. These activities may lead to excessive CO exposure which may cause injury or death. If you can smell engine exhaust while in the boat, do not stay seated in that position for prolonged periods. Never “Platform Drag” by holding onto the swim platform or being dragged directly behind the boat. An improperly tuned engine will produce excessive exhaust. Have your engine checked and corrected by a mechanic. Changing boat speed or direction relative to the wind can reduce or increase boat exhaust from accumulating near the boat and rider. Consult your boat Owners Manual, or the United States Coast Guard’s website: www.uscgboating.org for more information on how to help protect others and yourself from the dangers of CO poisoning -
Use caution and common sense.
-
Do not exceed the weight guidelines of your boat. Only use water ballast and people for additional weight. Do not allow passengers to hang outside the boat or sit on the gunwales outside the normal seating area of the boat. Uneven weight distribution or additional weight may affect the handling of the boat. Never allow water to overflow the gunwales of your boat, your equipment, and your tow rope:
-
Inspect all equipment prior to use. Check bindings, fins, tube and attachment point, and flotation device prior to each use. Do not use if damaged.
-
Always wear a U. S. Coast Guard Type Ⅲ (PFD) vest.
-
Rope should be attached to the watercraft in an approved fashion with hardware designed for towing. Refer to your watercraft manual for instructions on proper tow rope attachment.
-
Tow ropes stretch during use. If a rope breaks or is suddenly released, it can snap back into the watercraft.
Warm all riders, skiers and occupants of the danger of rope recoil. -
When in the boat, keep away from the tow rope to avoid injury. Passengers can be hit or become entangled in the rope.
-
Inspect the tow rope and its attachments before using. Do not use tow rope if frayed, knotted, or damaged. Replace when signs of excessive deterioration are indicated by discoloration, broken filaments, unraveling, or other obvious signs of wear on the rope or hardware.
-
Use proper tow rope for the activity.
-
Ensure the tow rope is clear of all body parts prior to starting out or during use.
-
Keep persons and ropes away from the propeller when the engine is running, even in neutral. Should the rope become entangled in the propeller, SHUT OFF ENGINE AND REMOVE IGNITION KEY BEFORE RETRIEVING ROPE.
When you ski or ride:
- Attempting land or dock starts can increase the risk of injury or death. USE THIS PRODUCT ONLY ON WATER.
- Always remove any slack in the rope between the watercraft and the skier’ rider before starting. Sudden shock loads may cause injury to the skier/ rider or failure of rope, resulting in snap-back or breakage.
- Do not ski or ride in shallow water, near shore, pilings, docks, rafts, swimmers, other boats or other obstacles. Such obstacles are examples of risks that are inherent in the sport.
- The driver and skier’ rider must watch for and be able to stop or turn to avoid obstacles.
- Always ski or ride in control and at speeds appropriate for your ability. Ski or ride within your limits. Do not ski or ride over ramps or jumps without prior instruction.
- Falling and the injuries that may result are inherent risks in the sport.
- Use a flag to signal to others that a skier or rider is in the water.
- Driver must use extra caution approaching a fallen skier/rider and keep eye contact on fallen skier/rider at all times.
- Put the boat in neutral when near a fallen skier/ rider. Turn the engine off when people are getting into or out of the boat or in the water near the boat.
- Do not operate watercraft, ski, or ride under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
THE WARNINGS AND PRACTICES SET FORTH ABOVE IN THE WATERSPORTS SAFETY CODE REPRESENT SOME COMMON RISKS ENCOUNTERED BY USERS. THE CODE DOES NOT PURPORT TO COVER ALL INSTANCES OF RISK OR DANGER. PLEASE USE COMMON SENSE AND GOOD JUDGMENT.
