CARE AND STORAGE
OF THE FLOAT TUBE
IT IS IMPORTANT TO RINSE YOUR FLOAT TUBE THOROUGHLY
WITH CLEAN WATER AFTER EACH USE. ALWAYS ENSURE
THAT THE BLADDERS ARE PARTIALLY DEFLATED BEFORE
STORING THE ASSEMBLED FLOAT TUBE IN A WARM VEHICLE
OR ROOM. THE AIR INSIDE THE INNER TUBES CAN EXPAND
CONSIDERABLY. IF THE FLOAT TUBE WILL NOT BE USED FOR
AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, DEFLATE IT AND STORE IT.
TO PREVENT MOULD GROWTH, MAKE SURE THE FLOAT TUBE
IS DRY BEFORE PACKAGING AND STORE IT IN A DRY PLACE.
