Operation; Care And Maintenance - Aquaglide TANGO Owner's Manual

Operation

1) This item is a splashing platform for water use. This item must be used with at
least one Aquaglide Platinum boarding platform.
2) When connecting multiple items, use only Aquaglide Vario-Lock cinch straps
and connecting rings according to the instructions provided with your boarding
platform(s). Make sure that the connection is tight and that there is NO GAP
greater than 25mm (~3/4") between items. IMPORTANT: Failure to connect
these items properly may result in injury or death.
3) We strongly recommend maintaining supervision at all times during use by
a professionally certified lifeguard. NEVER use unattended.
4) USE COMMON SENSE. Never jump or dive from the product. When
standing on the top of the product be aware that motion could cause a loss of
balance and injury.
5) Do not exceed the product's recommended number of users or capacity.
6) Do not swim, stand or climb below any other climbers. Ensure that all swim-
mers have cleared the area before entering the water. Never swim underneath
the product.
7) The maximum weight capacity is 400 lbs. (181 Kg). It is acceptable to have
up to THREE people on the product.
IMPORTANT:
• Do not exceed product weight capacity.
• Do not concentrate more than 300 lbs. (136 kg) in any one area.
• Do not use without adequate air pressure - 1.6 p.s.i. (0,110 bar)
minimum
8) If the product shows any signs of instability or appears to have lost air pres-
sure, immediately discontinue use. Check and monitor moorings, air pressure
and air-holding ability. Do not continue use until these are confirmed.

Care and Maintenance

1) While your product has been initially treated with UV protectant, long-term
exposure to sunlight will damage the product. Regularly apply a UV protec-
tant to the exposed surface of the tube to ensure the life of your product. We
recommend using ONLY INDIKON UV Protectant intended for use on vinyl for
this purpose. Monthly application while the product is in use is required. NOT
DOING THIS CAN VOID THE WARRANTY. INDIKON UV Protectant
is available at most watersports dealers, or online at www.aquaglide.com.
2) WARNING: Certain products, especially petroleum-based solvents,
cleaners and protectants such as ArmorAll can damage the product and use of
these products will void the warranty.
3) WARNING: Use of a high-pressure washer will damage the product and
void the warranty. To clean, use a soft bristle brush with mild soap and fresh
water. INDIKON UV Protectant contains a 'safe for vinyl' cleaner, and can be
used to clean and protect the product at the same time.
4) Check the inflation of your tube often. Check for proper air pressure using
a manometer. It may appear to have lost air in cooler temperatures, and may
expand in warmer temperatures. Maximum expansion will occur in the heat of
the day. Proper inflation is critical to the safe operation of your product and will
prolong damage from wear.
Storage
1) For short term storage, it is possible to store the item inflated on a pool
deck. To prevent accidental damage, make sure that the item will not be
punctured, abraided or dragged across the pool deck.
2) For long term storage, review the following steps. If necessary, clean
with mild soap and water and allow to dry completely. For products that
are exposed to the sun, apply INDIKON UV Protectant to the surface of the
product before deflating.
3) Remove all air from the tube using the deflation end of the high output
inflator/deflator.
4) Fold the deflated tube in thirds then roll or fold toward the valve.
5) For long term storage, keep the product out of direct sunlight and protected
from the environment in a clean, dry location. Store in a sealed water-proof
container (i.e. a plastic covered box or bin). It is best to store inside a container
to prevent damage from rodents. NEVER store uncovered, in a damp location,
or on a concrete surface! NEVER store at temperatures below 40 degrees F.
