Watersports are fun and challenging but involve inherent risks of in-
jury or death. To increase your enjoyment of the sport and to reduce
your risks, use common sense and follow these rules:
Before you start:
• Familiarize yourself with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, the
risks inherent in the sport, and the proper use of the equipment.
• Know the waterways.
• Use caution and common sense.
• Do not use in residential pools. In commercial pool, keep 3 meter (10 ft)
clearance on all sides; in open water, keep 4.5 meter (15 ft) clearance
on all sides.
• Do not attempt or allow somersaults. Landing on the head or neck can
cause serious injury, paralysis or death.
• Never use at night, or in low-light conditions.
• Never use in poor weather conditions, excessive wind, waves or lightning.
• Do not use on dry land.
• Do no use without proper anchoring.
• Do not jump or dive dive from the product.
• Never swim under the product.
• Take extreme care when swimming between the shore and the product.
Be cautious of any boat trafc or other obstructions. Ensure all users are
capable swimmers and are not excessively fatigued-Do not allow anyone to
attempt to swim to or from the product that are not physically able to do so.
• Always ensure that the swimming area around the product is free of
submerged logs, rocks and sandbars. Ask about the local water conditiions
before use.
• Only allow use of the product with proper supervision. Secure the product
when not in use to prevent access by any other users.
Your equipment :
• Check all equipment prior to use. Inspect your product for missing, defec-
tive or worn parts. Never use the product if excessive wear or damage are
detected.

3) Keep a safe distance from docks, boats, boat lifts, and any other structures.
DO NOT tie the product to a dock!
4) Anchors and anchor chain are sold separately. We recommend a MINIMUM
of 200 lbs for short-term anchoring of the Jungle Joe in settled conditions.
Heavier and/ or multiple moorings (500-1000 lbs. or more) should be used with
Aquaparks or on large, windy bodies of water. Professionally installed ground
screws are also acceptable.
5) Attach anchor chain securely to the anchor. Use a buoy tied to the other end
of the chain to easily locate your anchor.
6) When the product is in place, remove the buoy and shackle the anchor chain
to the anchor rings underneath the product. BE SURE TO ALLOW enough
slack in the anchor chain to allow the product to move in wind or waves without
displacing your mooring.
7) If strong winds or storms are expected, it is best to remove the product from
the water and secure and/or deate it.
Operation
1) We strongly recommend maintaining supervision at all times during use by
a professionally certied lifeguard. NEVER use unattended.
2) Do not exceed the product’s recommended number of users or capacity.
3) USE COMMON SENSE. Never jump or dive from the product. Do not
allow anyone to stand on the top of the product because motion could cause a
loss of balance and injury.
4) Do swim stand or climb below any other climbers. Ensure that all swimmers
have cleared the area before entering the water. Never swim underneath the
product.
5) The maximum weight capacity is 1000 lbs (450 Kg). It is acceptable to have
up to eight people on the product. IMPORTANT:
• Do not exceed product weight capacity of 1000lbs.
• Do not concentrate more than 300 lbs. in any one area.
• Do not use without adequate air pressure - 2.2 p.s.i. minimum
6) 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 conrmed.
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 recom-
mend 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, clean-
ers 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. Proper ination is critical to the safe operation of
your product and will prolong damage from wear.
Storage
1) Before storing, place the product on a clean, level area. Clean with mild
soap and water and allow to dry completely. Apply 303 Protectant to the sur-
face of the PRODUCT before deating.
2) Remove all attachments and store in a sealed water-proof container (i.e. a
plastic covered box or bin).
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 causing
cracking.
4) Fold the deated tube in thirds then roll loosely.
5) Store the product out of direct sunlight and protected from the environment
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 temperatures below 40 degrees F.

Assembly
1) Locate a at, dry area with access to electrical outlet or extension cord. The
best setup position will also make launching easy, so ideally the Jungle Joe tube
should be carefully carried into position at the water’s edge. NOTE: Dragging
or sliding the Jungle Joe over ground either before or after ination can cause
damage.
2) Once in the setup/ launch position, unfold the Jungle Joe completely and
locate the Main Valve. The Main Valve is located on the lower, blue section of the
product. See diagram for details.
3) Using a high output pump capable of reaching 2.2 psi (minimum) , place the
ination hose with proper adaptor into the Main Valve to inate the main, blue
section of Jungle Joe. Inate to 2.2-2.5 psi. After ination, replace Main valve
cover. Ination times can vary by inator, but the Jungle Joe should be rm and
tight when completely inated. DO NOT OVER-FILL. Excessively high
pressure can cause damage to the product and may void the warranty. Carefully
monitor air pressure in the product especially during hot weather.
WARNING: Do not use an air compressor to inate tube. Air compressors are
designed for high pressure ination and can cause tube to burst if over-inated.
WARNING: Do not use Jungle Joe without adequate air pres-
sure - 2.2 p.s.i. minimum.
4) Next locate the Upper Valve found on the white tube just above the Main Valve.
Follow the instructions and warnings found in Step #3 to properly inate the Upper
section.
6) Depending on the application, some users may have purchased an optional
Swimstep or Runway boarding platform. If you have a boarding platform, connect
it now using the instructions provided with the accessory. NOTE: It is best to attach
such items while they are deated. Once fully attached with Interloc straps, then
inate.
7) To launch the product, make sure to have at least 4 people evenly spaced
around the product to help carry it. NEVER DRAG THE PRODUCT! YOU MUST
LIFT AND SET TO AVOID ANY ACCIDENTAL TEARING AND/OR ABRASION.
Anchoring
IMPORTANT: Proper anchoring is essential to the safety and performance
of your product. Due to the wide variety of conditions, we advise using a profes-
sional skilled in mooring and anchoring, and experienced with local conditions. If
improperly anchored, the product can move and/or oat away. Aquaglide, Inc. is
not responsible for any damage, injuries or losses due to improper anchoring.
NOTE: There are 4 heavy duty anchor rings underneath the Jungle Joe. These
rings are located underneath the Main section, near each of the 4 corners.
Due to the high loads that may be generated, you must use AT LEAST 2 of these
rings to spread the load and properly secure the product under normal conditions.
www.Aquaglide.net
Aquaglide, Inc. #1 North Shore Dr, SE White Salmon, WA 98672 TEL: [phone] FAX: [phone]
We strongly recommend using our optional 2-Way Heavy Duty Mooring Bridles,
not included.
Here are some general guidelines for anchoring your product. These guidelines
are not intended to replace the need for professional installation.
1) Choose a location for your Jungle Joe and/or aquapark. Place the product
in at least 8 ft. of water depth and in an area protected from the wind and boat
trafc. Review your lake rules and restrictions with your local authorities.
2) Carefully check the water and seabed below the selected area for sharp or
dangerous objects (i.e. rocks or stumps).
Watersports can be safe and fun for all levels of enthusiasts. The Operator’s Manual is presented to
enhance your enjoyment of the sport. It is intended to alert you to some of the potentially dangerous
conditions that can arise in all watersports.

• Take all reasonable precautions in the use and operation of your trampoline and/or
aquapark.
• Teach anyone using your trampoline and/or aquapark about safe guidelines prior to use.
• 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 water sports product.
• Periodically check mooring bridles and/or lines to ensure safety. Replace any portion of
mooring and/or connection system that shows signs of wear.
• Do not add any hardware or attachments not otherwise supplied by the manufacturer.
