Instructions
1. INFLATING THE TUBE
A low-pressure inflation pump like the SWORDFISH 12-volt inflation pump is recom-
mended. A high-pressure (air compressor type) pump may be used but with extreme
caution as to not overinflate the tube. First, if your tube has smaller chambers like an
inflatable floor, backrests, or bolsters, inflate them first. Second, inflate the main air
chamber to approximately 25%. Adjust tube inside of cover. To finish, inflate tube to
85%.
DO NOT OVERINFLATE!
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 tube to about 85%, leave the tub in sunlight for a few minutes prior to
use, then check the firmness.
PRODUCT INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
To reduce your risk of injury or death, follow these guidelines and the Watersports
Safety Code.
• Carefully read this manual and follow the instructions.
• Teach anyone using your tube how to attach it to the rope, how to ride it, and how to
maintain it.
• If the tube is designed for more than one person, take extra precaution to avoid
collisions.
• Use of the tube in wavy, rough, or choppy water may cause violent tube action and
increase the risk of injury.
• Sharp turns by the Watercraft driver may cause a slingshot effect to the tube, causing
the tube to travel at a much higher speed than the Watercraft. The Watercraft driver
should reduce the speed of the Watercraft during these sharp turns to reduce the
slingshot effect.
• Never attempt jumps or dangerous tricks with your tube. If more than one tube is being
towed, avoid collisions with other tubes.
• 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.
• Remove the tow rope from the product when not in use. do not leave the rope in the
water where it could be damaged or caught by any part of the boat. Store htem properly.
2. ROPE ATTACHMENT
USE A TOW ROPE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO PULL INFLATABLE TUBES!
The rope must be properly attached to work correctly. Loop end of the rope must go
through hole 1 prior to wrapping loop around cleat. Inspect molded tow cleat prior
to each use, if it shows signs of damage, cracking or breaking do not use.
