Liability
While every attempt is made to embody the highest degree of protection in
all equipment, we cannot guarantee freedom from injury. The user assumes
all risk of injury due to use. All merchandise is sold on this condition, which
no representative of the company can waiver or change.
Assembling your Aqua Mat Deluxe
Inflation
Roll out the Aqua Mat Deluxe on flat ground. Make sure the area is free of
rocks, sticks or other sharp objects that could puncture or damage the
product.
Use the enclosed hand pump to inflate the Aqua Mat
Deluxe, or for more rapid inflation and deflation we
recommend using the RAVE Sports Rapid Inflator /
Deflator (a smart 12V electric pump) (Item #03063, not
included; sold separately at www.ravesports.com).
To lock open valve, depress the stem and rotate ¼
turn clockwise. To close valve, depress the stem
and rotate ¼ turn counter-clockwise. The valve stem
should be in the depressed position while inflating.
Replace cap on valve after
inflation to ensure air tight seal.
If you are using the RAVE
Sports Rapid Inflator (Item
#03063), simply lock the adaptor onto the end of the
inflation hose and insert into the valve body. Turn ¼
turn to lock in place.
To check the exact pressure of your product the use of a RAVE Digital
Pressure Gauge (Item #02809, sold separately on www.ravesports.com) is
recommended.

NOTE: This inflation adaptor will automatically open the valve when
inserted and will close the valve when removed. You do not need to
manually open/close the valve when using this special adaptor.
Inflate until firm. The Rapid Inflator will inflate the mat to approx. 5psi (0,17
bar).
DO NOT INFLATE BEYOND 10PSI (0,69 bar) to avoid damage.
Move to Water
Use 2 or more people to carry the product to the water.
CAUTION: To avoid risk of puncture or damage to the product, DO NOT
DRAG the product. Always carry it to the water. Float the Aqua Mat Deluxe
to the desired location for anchoring.
Anchoring
There are two anchor attachment points (one at each
end on the bottom) of the Aqua Mat Deluxe. Attach
anchor(s) to those points to prevent the wind from
swinging the product to an undesirable direction.
The Aqua Mat Deluxe is now ready for use!
To Deflate:
Rapid deflation can be achieved using the “deflate” side of the motor housing.
Attach the hose to the deflate side of the motor housing and lock the valve
adaptor into the valve.
Using the Aqua Mat Deluxe
CAUTION! The surface of the Aqua Mat Deluxe can become wet and slippery.
Refrain from horseplay or other activity that could cause collisions and falls,
resulting in injury.

WARNING: DROWNING HAZARD
NEVER ATTEMPT TO SWIM UNDER THE AQUA MAT DELUXE.
THE AQUA MAT DELUXE IS A LARGE OBJECT ON THE WATER
WITH NO PLACE TO COME UP FOR AIR IF YOU ARE BENEATH IT.
The Aqua Mat Deluxe is designed to be used as a stand alone product or can
be attached to various other RAVE Sports products. If you intend to connect
the Aqua Mat Deluxe to other RAVE Sports products,
it may be necessary to purchase a separate
connection kit. The larger sizes of RAVE Sports
Bongo Bouncers and Aqua Jump Eclipse water
trampolines produced in 2017 and after have Velcro
strap connectors included. Check on the year and size
of your bouncer or trampoline to know if it requires a
separate connector kit.
Connecting to a RAVE Activity Island or Splash Trax Module:
Use Activity Island Attachment Kit (Item #02475), purchased
separately.
One kit is needed to attach one end of the Aqua Mat Deluxe to the
Activity Island or Splash Trax
module.

of the Aqua Mat Deluxe through both rings on the
adaptor strap on the tube. Fold it over and fasten to

the exposed Velcro strip and fold the flap of the
backer plate back down over the top.

running track:
In order to “daisy chain” multiple Aqua
Mat Deluxe units together, an additional
purchase of the #20872 Splash Trax to
Aqua Jump Adaptor Apron is needed.
IMPORTANT: This safety apron MUST be
used to prevent entrapment hazards
between mat sections. Never connect & use
multiple units together without this safety
apron in position.

and Velcro the appropriate side to
apron.

deflate and fold for storage. This helps prevent
damage and extends the life of your product.

Carry the Aqua Mat Deluxe to land and deflate. Be
extremely careful not to drag the product.

repeat for the other side. (Dry with a towel, if necessary, to ensure it is
completely dry before folding).
Step 3
Lay the mat on a flat surface and fold the mat (long ways) into thirds.
Step 4
Starting at the end opposite the inflation valve, begin folding approx. 10-12”
(25-30 cm). Continue folding (DO NOT ROLL) down the length of the mat.
Step 5
Secure the folded mat with the buckle strap provided.
NOTE: Make sure to anchor the product securely before use.
