QuickStrap™ Connections

*NOTE: images are shown from below
STEP 1: Connect the QuickStraps™. Use the webbing and buckles to con-
nect all 5 QuickStraps™ to one item. Generally, it is best to leave the straps
permanently connected to the Swimstep™ platform via the webbing and buckle
connection as shown in step 1. Simply tighten and loosen the length of the
webbing to allow enough room to connect and disconnect the platform using the
Quick hook. This is best done from the water, with the buckle facing down for
easy access.
STEP 2: Bring the platform near the item and use all 5 Quick hooks to connect
them, leaving the straps loose shown in step 2.
STEP 3: Firmly pull the tail of each QuickStrap™ as shown in step 3 until the
gap between platform and main item is completely closed.
STEP 4: Double-check to confirm that the gap between items is closed tightly
as shown in step 4 before moving on.
IMPORTANT: To prevent injury the gap MUST be completely closed and
tight. Always use all 5 QuickStraps™ AND cinch them firmly.
STEP 5: Wrap the remaining QuickStrap™ webbing around the strap once to
and use Velcro™ closures to contain the excess as shown in step 5.
Operation
1) This item is a boarding platform for water use. Users climb aboard from

2) When connecting multiple items, use only Aquaglide Interloc™ straps and
connecting rings according to the Interloc™ Strap instructions provided. 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.

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 protectant
to the exposed surface of the tube to ensure the life of your product. We rec-
ommend using ONLY INDIKON POLY GUARD UV for this purpose. Seasonal
application while the product is in use is required. NOT DOING THIS
CAN VOID THE WARRANTY. 3POLY GUARD UV is available at most
watersports dealers, or online at http://www.aquaglide.com/product-category/
accessories/maintenance/.
2) WARNING: Certain products, especially petrolium-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 MAXI CLEAN PVC can be used to thoroughly clean the
product before storage.
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 ex-
posed to the sun, apply POLY GUARD UV 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.
