Assembly
1) Locate a at, dry area with access to electrical outlet or extension cord.
2) Inate the Airport Softpac until it is rm, but not over inated. As with any
inatable, take caution on the ination pressure and do not over inate. Because
air expands with heat, adjust the amount of pressure in the inner bladder as
necessary if the temperature increases by letting air out of the valves during the
hottest part of the day. Do NOT leave the Softpac inated in hot sun on the beach
with full pressure as this will cause damage to the bladder.
Warning: Do not use an air compressor to inate
tube. Air compressors are designed for high pressure
ination and can cause damage to the product if over-
inated.
3) Position the Softpac over the ‘white stripe’ end of the Airport. The Softpac will
partially cover the valve ap on the lounge. Double stainless rings on the side of
the Softpac should align over single rings on the Airport lounge.
4) Connect the Softpac to the Airport lounge using the 4 Interloc straps provided.
See the Interloc instructions below for details. For more information on the other
Aquaglide products, see our website.
Operation
The Softpac offers 3 separate cooler and storage compartments, 4
drinkholders, and an adjustable pillow chamber for maximum comfort.
1. Use chambers for either wet or dry storage. Ice and chilled beverages
are perfect on a hot day.
2. DO NOT USE GLASS containers, as breakage can occur causing
damage to the product, and/or injury.
3. Drain chambers by tipping platform upside down.
4. DO NOT OVER-INFLATE. Softpac is often more comfortable when left a
little soft. Adjust the air pressure to nd your perfect comfort level.
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 reccomend using ONLY 303 UV Protectant intended
for use on vinyl for this purpose. Monthly application while the product
is in use is required. NOT DOING THIS WILL VOID THE
WARRANTY. 303 UV Protectant is available at most watersports
dealers, or online at www.303-products.com.
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. 303 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 ination of your tube often. It may appear to have lost air
early in the morning, but will expand once the sun warms it. Maximum
expansion will occur in the heat of the day. Under-ination can cause
excessive rubbing where the metal frame rests on the tube. Proper
ination is important as this will discourage rodents from chewing and
prevent damage from wear.
Storage
1) Before storing, place the Airport on a clean, level area. Clean with mild
soap and water and allow to dry completely. Apply 303 Protectant to
the surface of the tube and spring pad cover before deating.
2) Remove ALL of the air from the tube using the deation end of the high
output inator/deator. If some air is left in the tube, it may freeze caus-
ing cracking.
3) Remove ALL of the air from the tube using the deation end of the high
output inator/deator. If some air is left in the tube, it may freeze caus-
ing cracking.
4) Store the Airport out of direct sunlight and protected from the environ-
ment in a clean, dry location. It is best to store inside a container with
moth balls to prevent damage from rodents. NEVER store uncovered,
in a damp location, or on a concrete surface! NEVER store at tempera-
tures below 40 degrees F.
