Prolonged exposure to salt water candamage and/orshorten the expected lifetime of
thisproduct. The marine environment includesmany damaging elements including
corrosion, abrasion and damage from marine life such as barnacles. Regular cleaning
and rinsing with fresh water can reduce these risks. APVC-safe antifouling paint should
be used to help protect this product against marine growth. DAMAGE CAUSED BY
EXPOSURETO SALTWATER IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.

Assembly
1) Locate a at, dry area with access to electrical outlet or extension cord.
IMPORTANT: Because of the size and weight of the Escalade™, careful thought
must be given to the setup area. Ideally, the tube should be carried into position
prior to setup. The best setup position will also make launching easy. Therefore,
locate the Escalade™ near the water’s edge. NOTE: Dragging or sliding the Esca-
lade™ over ground either before or after ination can cause damage. It is possible
to inate the Escalade on the water once it contains enough air to allow it to oat.
This may allow the item to be setup on a swim platform if sufcient space exists.
2) Once in the setup/ launch position, unfold the Escalade™ tube and locate the
Main Valve. The Main Valve is located near the bottom of the item, on the side
to the right of the main climbing wall. NOTE: to facilitate rapid take down, the
Escalade™ 5m has 2 valves in this location. Make sure the second valve is closed
before ination.
3) Using a high output pump, place the ination hose with proper adaptor into the
Main Valve to inate the Escalade™ tube. Inate to 1.2 psi (0,083 bar). Check for
proper air pressure using a manometer. After ination, replace Main Valve cover.
Ination times can vary by inator, but the Escalade™ 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.
4) Connect the 3 Interloc™ ladders to the Escalade™, one at the bottom of each
climbing route.
5) Launch the Escalade™ so the item can be oated into position. When moving
the Escalade™, make sure to have at least 2 people evenly spaced around the
product to help carry it. NEVER DRAG THE ESCALADE™! YOU MUST LIFT AND
SET TO AVOID ANY ACCIDENTAL TEARING AND/OR ABRASION.
NOTE: This product is designed for use only on water of 3,66m (12 ft.) MINIMUM
depth, and only when securely connected to a yacht of satisfactory size and
strength to stabilize the item at a point 2,5m or more above the water.
6) Once launched, oat the item into position next to the yacht in the desired
spot. Position the Escalade™ with the top close to the yacht, climbing wall facing
upward. To protect your yacht, it may be a preferred to insert fenders between the
yacht and the Escalade™. If necessary, do so at this time.
7) The next step is to hoist the Escalade™ into a vertical orientation using ropes,
cranes or halyards, as needed.
8) There are several attachment rings on the back of the Escalade™. Choose the
attachment rings that best t your yacht. Use strong straps or ropes or dock lines
on each side of the Escalade™ to connect the the item securely to the yacht or
other support. Deck cleats make excellent attachment points.
NOTE: The Escalade™ MUST be connected to the yacht by AT LEAST four (4)
straps positioned 2 on each side. Two straps must attach in low position (between
0 and 1,5m height maximum) and two straps in a high position (between 2,5m and
5m height minimum). IMPORTANT: Failure to connect the item securely may
result in injury or death.

Designed in USA by:

Operation
1) Escalade™ is designed to be connected to a yacht for use as a climbing wall
while anchored in deep water.
2) We strongly recommend maintaining supervision at all times during use by a
professionally certied lifeguard. NEVER use unattended.
3) Do not exceed the product’s recommended number of users. DO NOT
ALLOW more than 1 climber at a time, and NEVER EXCEED the Maximum
weight capacity.
4) USE COMMON SENSE. Never jump or dive from the product. Be aware
that motion of the product could cause a loss of balance and injury.
5) Do not swim in the area while the product is in use. Ensure that all swimmers
have cleared the area before entering the water and before continuing use of the
product. Never swim underneath the product.
6) If the product appears to have lost air pressure or stability, immediately discon-
tinue use. Check and monitor for proper air pressure and air-holding ability. Check
and secure all straps and replace any worn parts. Do not continue use until these
are conrmed.
7) If strong winds or storms are expected, it is best to remove the product and
secure or store it.
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 recommend
using ONLY INDIKON 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. INDIKON UV Protectant is available at most
watersports dealers, or through Aquaglide, Inc.
2) WARNING: Certain products, especially petroleum-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.
INDIKON 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. Check for proper air pressure using a
manometer. 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 to dry. If necessary,
clean with mild soap and water and allow to dry completely. Apply INDIKON
Protectant to all surfaces of the product before long term storage.
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 causing cracking.
3) Fold the deated tube in thirds (width), then roll loosely toward the valve.
4) Store the product out of direct sunlight and protected from the environment in
a clean, dry location. It is best to store inside it’s storage cover. Consider placing
the item in 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 4° C (40° F).

WORK SPACE AND TOOLS
1. Take care to position yourself in a clean, dry area with good ventila-
tion. For proper curing of adhesives temperature should remain
above 10°C (50 F). In most cases you will need enough room to
inate the product.
2. Repair Kit Contents: PVC Patch material, PVC Glue, Instructions.
3. Additional items that MAY be needed: Air pump, Sharp scissors
and/ or razor knife, Dish washing liquid, water, small bowl or spray
bottle, 120 Grit sandpaper, solvent such as MEK (Methyl Ethyl
Ketone) or Rubbing alcohol, china marker, small ‘chip’ brush or
disposable paint brush.
LOCATE LEAK(S)
1. If there is a problem with air leaks, you will need to locate the leak(s)
rst.
2. Inate your Aquaglide Platinum™ product fully. Some small leaks can
close themselves at lower air pressures, so it is best to maintain full
pressure by re-inating periodically while checking for leaks.
3. Use a soapy water solution (50%/ 50% dish soap & water) and a
cloth to check for leaks. Work slowly around the product spraying or
swabbing-on soapy water solution. Look for growing bubbles, which
indicate a leak.
4. Once a leak is conrmed, dry the area well, mark it and prepare to
patch.
PATCHING
Reinforced PVC Patch with high-grade adhesive.
** IMPORTANT: leaks must be patched with the item completely
deated, and patches must be allowed to cure for 24 hours.
1. DEFLATE your Aquaglide Platinum™ product completely.
2. Carefully cut PVC patch material to size using sharp scissors or razor
knife.
a. Patch should be least 3 - 5cm (1-2”) larger than hole IN ALL
DIRECTIONS around any air leak. This means a minimum patch size
of 5cm x 5cm (2” x 2”) for a pinhole leak. The larger, the better.
b. Square patches with rounded corners are usually best, as this
reduces the risk of peeling.
3. Dry-t the patch over the area to be repaired to ensure good t and
coverage.
4. Use a clean 120 grit sand paper to rough up the surface to be
patched AND ALSO the back of the patch material.
5. Use solvent (MEK or Rubbing Alcohol) and a fresh cloth to clean the
sanded areas, removing all debris.
6. Dry-t the patch again and use china marker (provided) to carefully
outline where the patch will be located.
7. Next, use the glue (provided). Use a disposable ‘chip’ brush to spread
glue if needed. Try to work neatly and quickly.
a. Using disposable brush, apply a thin, even layer of glue to the
repair area making sure to cover the area completely. Stay INSIDE
the china marker outline.
b. Using disposable brush, apply a thin, even layer of glue to the to
the back of the patch making sure to cover the area completely.
c. Allow glue to cure for approximately 60 seconds.
d. Starting at one corner, carefully align the patch over the repair
area using the china marker outline as a guide. Once the 2 surfaces
touch, the bond will be immediate, so take care.
e. Starting at one corner and working outward, carefully apply the
patch to the repair area using very rm pressure.
f. Rub the entire patch area and the edges of the patch using very
rm pres
sure.
g. Allow to cure for at least 24 hours before inating.
