USE OF THIS PRODUCT AND PARTICIPATION IN PARASAILING
INVOLVES INHERENT RISKS OF INJURY OR DEATH.
1. The Super Shuttle™is designed to carry no more than 7 persons or 1,500
lbs/680kg. Shuttle can carry 6 Passengers plus 1 supervising Crew Member.
2. Use only tow lines approved for marine towables and 6,000lb minimum tensile
strength rating.
3. Read Operator’s Manual before use. Do not remove warnings from the product.
PRODUCT INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
To reduce the risk of injury or death using the Super Shuttle™, follow these guidelines:
▪Carefully read this manual and follow all instructions.
▪Teach anyone operating the Shuttle how to attach it to a PWC with the proper tow rope, how
to tow it and its passengers safely, and how to properly maintain it.
▪Do not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended number of riders- 7 people (max 1500lbs).
▪Take extra precautions to avoid sudden maneuvers or impacts with large waves/surf that
could send passengers colliding with each other or could eject them from the Shuttle.
▪Never strap or attach anyone to the Shuttle. Never put your feet or hands through the towing
system or handles. Never wedge your hands or feet under the protective covers or between
the protective covers and the tubes.
▪Never attempt jumps or dangerous maneuvers with the Shuttle. If more than one Shuttle is
being towed in the area, avoid collisions with other Shuttles or watercraft.
▪Scout the area before use to avoid any debris or obstacles that might present a safety
hazard.
▪Check the tow rope, harness and connectors for frays, cuts, sharp edges, knots, or wear
before each use. Discard and replace rope if any such condition exists or if rope appears to
be worn. Such conditions may lead to breaks.
!!

4
▪Do not use a tow rope with elastic or bungee material to pull Shuttle. Such an addition can
break or stretch, which may lead to injury of PWC operators or Shuttle occupants.
▪The stress on the tow rope is different than the stress on the Shuttle. Stress will vary with the
weight of the riders combined with the force of wind, waves and currents acting on the
Shuttle as well as Shuttle impact with waves and surf.
▪Rope is subject to deterioration when exposed to prolonged direct sunlight. The life of the
Shuttle and tow harness will be extended when stored away from sunlight when not in use.
▪The tow rope and/or tow harness should be replaced when signs of deterioration appear,
indicated by the existence of discoloration, wearing, fraying or unraveling.
▪Do not add hardware or attachments that are not otherwise supplied by the manufacturer.
▪Tow Rope length- We recommend a nominal rope length of 50-60ft. However, use a rope
length that is appropriate for your specific conditions of use.
•Shuttling to/from beach- You might consider using a longer line to allow the Shuttle to
reach the shallow water of the beach for passenger transfer while the tow craft remains
in slightly deeper water.
•Shuttling to/from a dock or pier- You might consider using a slightly shorter tow line
for more maneuverability around the dock/pier or other waterway obstructions.

Water Sports Responsibility Code
Water sports are fun and challenging but involve inherent risks of injury or death. To increase your
enjoyment of water sports 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.
▪Always have a person other than the watercraft driver as an observer.
▪All Crew members and watercraft driver must agree on hand signals.
▪Never start underway until riders and Crew member signal they are ready.
▪Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning from engine exhaust may cause injury or death. Do not stay
around the rear of the parasail boat for prolonged time while the boat engine is running. This
may lead to excessive CO exposure which may cause injury or death. If you can smell engine
exhaust while in or around the boat, do not stay in that area for prolonged periods. An
improperly tuned engine will produce excessive exhaust. Have your engine checked and
corrected by a mechanic. Changing boat speed or direction relative to the wind can reduce
or increase boat exhaust from accumulating near the boat and Shuttle. Consult your boat
Owners Manual, or the United States Coast Guard’s website: www.uscgboating.org for more
information on how to help protect others and yourself from the dangers of CO poisoning.
▪Use caution and common sense.
Your equipment and your tow rope:
▪Inspect all equipment prior to use. Check Shuttle and attachment points prior to each use.
Do not use if damaged.
▪Always wear a U.S. Coast Guard approved Type III Life Vest (PFD) when on board the Shuttle.
▪Ropes should be attached to the watercraft in an approved fashion with hardware designed
for pulling.
▪Tow ropes stretch during use. If a rope breaks or is suddenly released, it can snap back into
the watercraft or Shuttle. Warn all riders and occupants of the danger of the rope recoil.

7
▪Keep away from the tow rope and Shuttle tow harness to avoid injury. Passengers can be hit
or become entangled in the ropes.
▪Ensure tow rope is clear of all body parts prior to starting out or during use.
▪Inspect tow rope and its attachments before using. Do not use tow rope if frayed, knotted or
damaged. Replace when signs of excessive deterioration are indicated by discoloration,
broken filaments, unraveling or other obvious signs of wear on the rope or hardware.
▪Keep persons and tow rope away from propeller/impeller when engine is running, even in
neutral. Should rope become entangled in propeller/impeller, SHUT OFF ENGINE AND
REMOVE IGNITION KEY BEFORE RETRIEVING ROPE.
When you ride:
▪Attempting land or dock starts can increase the risk of injury or death. USE THIS PRODUCT
ONLY ON WATER. When starting from the beach, make sure Shuttle is freely floating when
fully loaded with passengers. DO NOT attempt to pull Shuttle with passengers if any part of
the Shuttle is sitting on land.
▪Always remove any slack in the rope between watercraft and Shuttle before starting. Sudden
shock loads may cause injury to the riders or failure of rope, resulting in snap-back or
breakage.
▪Use extreme caution when towing passengers in shallow water, near shore, pilings, docks,
rafts, swimmers, other boats or other obstacles. Maintain safe distance & pay attention to
waves/surf that could force the shuttle into contacting these obstacles.
▪Make sure passengers on board Shuttle are seated at all times while under tow. Stop towing
immediately if passengers are seen standing or conducting themselves in an unsafe manner.
▪Riders should hold on securely to the handle immediately forward of their respective seating
position while Shuttle is under tow.
▪Falling and the injuries that may result are inherent risks in the sport.
▪Use a flag to signal to others if a rider falls off the Shuttle and is in the water.
▪Watercraft driver must use extra caution when approaching a fallen rider. Keep eye contact
on fallen rider at all times.
▪Put the watercraft in neutral when near a fallen rider. Turn the engine off when people are
getting in or out of the craft, or while in the water near the craft.
▪Do not operate watercraft or ride under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Inflating Your Super Shuttle:
Step 1
Carefully unfold and lay the Super Shuttle on a flat surface with top facing upward. Make sure there
are no sharp objects under the product that might puncture the tubes.
Step 2
Before starting the inflation process, locate all 5 air chamber valve openings on the Super Shuttle.
Use the RAVE Sports Inflator/Deflator (item #01083) for inflating the Shuttle.
IMPORTANT: Inflate tubes only until the Super Shuttle takes shape (about 80% to 90% air volume).
For best results, inflate the Super Shuttle air chambers in this order:
1. Inflate the main CENTER yellow tube first.
2. Inflate the 2 main OUTER yellow tubes.
3. Finally, inflate the 2 blue Foot Support tubes.
Following the same order, finish inflating all 5 chambers to the
specified pressure. Use the included RAVE Digital Pressure Gauge to
insure proper inflation pressure of all 5 chambers:
•3 Main Tubes (Yellow): 1.25 to 1.5 PSI (each)
•2 Foot Support Tubes (Blue): 2.00 to 2.5 PSI (each)
To operate gauge:
1. Depress “ON” button.
2. Wait for Self-Calibration to complete and “0.00” digital display to appear.
3. Insert gauge into valve & turn ¼ turn Clockwise to lock it in. Wait
for gauge reading to stabilize.
4. To remove gauge: Rotate1/4 turn Counter Clockwise.
5. Add/Remove air to achieve minimal operating pressure as statedfor
each module.
6. Close Valve Cap.

VALVE POSITIONS:
To OPEN valve (for deflating), depress center stem and rotate
clockwise.
To CLOSE valve (for inflating), depress center stem and rotate
counter-clockwise.
NOTE: Using the adapter on the RAVE inflator hose will
automatically open and close the valves.
When using the RAVE Sports High Speed Inflator, simply lock
the adaptor shown at right onto the end of the inflation hose,
turn on inflator, then insert adaptor into valve body. Align slot in
adaptor with cross bar on valve. Push in full and turn ¼ turn to
lock in place.
NOTE: RAVE Sports’ special adaptor found on the High Speed Inflator and Digital Pressure
Gauge will automatically open the valve when inserted and will close the valve when
removed. This will ensure no air is lost when you remove the inflation nozzle. You do not
need to manually open/close the valve when using this special adaptor.
Replace cap on valve after inflation and pressure checks to ensure airtight seal.
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. Or
you can simply “Open”the valve on each air chamber.
W A R N I N G
DO NOT OVER-INFLATE! Use of an air compressor can cause rapid over-
inflation, causing the inflatable to burst with potentially damaging force to
eyes, ears, skin and limbs. Use of an air compressor can damage the
product beyond repair, thus voiding the warranty.

Step 3
Carry (DO NOT DRAG) the Shuttle and place in shallow water.
Step 4
Attach proper rated tow line/rope (not included) to the Shuttle
Towing Harness.
•Feed tow line through the open forward hole of BOTH
nylon sliding rings. It is critical to tow with both rings
together. This will reduce friction on the Shuttle
harness rope and provide a smoother action of the
sliding rings. These rings MUST slide freely between
the two floats.
• You can tie the tow line directly to the two sliding rings
as shown above
OR
You may choose to use an intermediary coupling rope
as shown at right.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT modify the Shuttle Tow Harness or prevent the movement of the sliding rings.
The sliding rings must have freedom of movement from side to side between the two sets of foam
floats. This ensures the towing forces are uniformly distributed throughout the Shuttle towing
components.
Preparation for first use
▪The Super Shuttle must dock securely along the side of the moving Parasail Boat. Operators
should determine in advance which side of their boat (Port or Starboard) will be used for
transferring passengers. Pretest without passengers to determine which boat cleats and
D-Ring locations on the Shuttle are best suited for docking the Shuttle to the Parasail boat.
IMPORTANT: The forward-most D-Ring must always be used to secure the Shuttle to the
parasail boat. Determine which of the rearward D-Rings best aligns with a cleat on the boat.
See diagram on following page for optimum orientation and D-ring selection.
▪Attach docking lines (approx. 5ft long) to the appropriate D-Ring locations on the Shuttle
that correspond to the cleats on the parasail boat.

11
▪Conduct test runs without passengers to gain experience with the Shuttle docking procedure,
approach angles, speeds, securing Shuttle to parasail boat, releasing Shuttle from boat, etc.
IMPORTANT: For safe passenger transfer, Shuttle must be tightly secured to the Parasail Boat with
NO GAP between Shuttle and Boat. To avoid Shuttle from separating from Parasail Boat during
passenger transfers, ensure the docking lines are drawn as tight as possible and are oriented as
shown in the “CORRECT”diagrams below. Do not orient dock lines as shown in “WRONG”diagram
below as this can allow the Shuttle to drift apart from the Boat, creating an unsafe gap.
Always attach docking line
to forward D-Ring
Attach second docking line
to shuttle D-Ring which best
aligns with aft boat cleat

Super Shuttle & Parasail Boat Docking Procedure
▪The Super Shuttle must dock along the side of the moving
Parasail Boat.
▪The PWC and Shuttle should approach from the stern of the
moving Parasail Boat, on a parallel course with the Boat.
▪PWC slowly passes the moving Boat and positions itself in
Front of the Boat to carefully position the Super Shuttle next
to the side of the Boat.
▪Shuttle is correctly positioned when the forward docking line of the Shuttle is aligned with the
desired and predetermined cleat of the Boat.
▪Once the Shuttle is in the correct position, the Boat Captain will signal the PWC driver to
MATCH the speed of the Parasail Boat so the
Shuttle can be securely tied and docked.
▪Boat Crew secures Shuttle TIGHTLY to the side
of Boat using pre-attached dock lines on the
Shuttle. Dock lines are tied to the stainless
steel D-Rings located on the Shuttle’s side
tubes.
▪Shuttle dock lines must be secured TIGHTLY to
the Parasail Boat cleats, in this order:
1. Forward/nearest the bow of Boat
(or use cleat nearest to Captain).
2. Rear/aft of Boat (use cleat nearest
the stern of boat).
▪IMPORTANT: Make sure the shuttle is drawn
tightly against the side of the parasail boat
before transferring passengers.
▪To undock the Super Shuttle from the moving Parasail Boat, reverse this procedure.

15
Transferring Passengers from the Super Shuttle to the Parasail Boat:
▪Only after the Super Shuttle is secured TIGHTLY to
the side of the Parasail Boat, Riders may safely
transfer to the Parasail Boat under the direction of
the Boat Crew.
▪Only one Rider at a time, will let go of handle and
shift weight to the Boat side of the Shuttle.
▪Rider steps up onto the outer tube closest to the
Boat, using the non-slip surface on the top of the
outer tube. A Crew member will assist the Rider to
safely step onto the Boat deck.
▪Rider will be instructed to sit safely on the Boat until it is time to experience Parasailing.
Transferring Passengers from the Parasail Boat to the Super Shuttle:
▪Only after the Super Shuttle is secured TIGHTLY to the side
of the Parasail Boat, Riders may safely transfer back to the
Shuttle under the direction of the Boat Crew.
▪Only one Rider at a time, will approach the side of the
deck nearest the shuttle.
▪Moving into a seated position, the Rider will transfer/slide
onto the Shuttle, feet first.
▪Once the Rider is on the Shuttle, they will be instructed by
a Crew member to sit on a numbered seating position on
the CENTER tube of the Shuttle.
▪Riders must sit upright, facing forward. Lean slightly
forward. Firmly grasp Rider handle with both hands. Place
both feet flat on the blue foot support tubes.
▪Once all Riders are secure and in correct seating
positions, Crew members will release the docking lines
and alert the PWC driver to proceed.
▪Shuttle will move away from Boat and into open water as
tension on tow harness tightens.
▪PWC driver will then tow the Super Shuttle and passengers back to the Beach.

16
▪All riders MUST follow directions of Crew Members while the Super Shuttle is underway.
▪Upon returning to the Beach and after Crew members have secured the Shuttle, Riders may
exit to the rear of the Super Shuttle.
Emergency Re-Boarding of the Super Shuttle in Open Water:
▪In the rare case of a Rider or a Crew Member falling off the Super Shuttle while operating in
open water, follow this emergency procedure to re-board the Shuttle:
▪Crew member should call out loudly, use hand signals or use a whistle to alarm other Riders
and PWC Driver as soon as possible. Maintain visual contact with the person in the water at
all times.
▪PWC Driver should slow forward progress and circle back toward the person in the water.
▪PWC Driver should safely position the rear of the Shuttle as close to the Swimmer as
possible. Driver stops the PWC.
▪Swimmer proceeds to the rear of the Shuttle, facing the front of the Shuttle (bow).
▪Swimmer reaches out with one hand to firmly grasp one of the molded handles on the rear of
the main yellow tubes.
▪With their other hand, Swimmer grasps the angled handle just forward of the Crew Member
seat. This handle extends rearward and downward to the Blue Foot Support tubes.
▪Swimmer should pull themselves up onto the Blue Foot Support Tube, swinging up one leg at
a time while shifting their weight forward.
▪Crew Member or another Rider may carefully assist the Swimmer to re-board the Shuttle by
grasping the Swimmer’s outreached hand or Swimmer’s PFD.
▪IMPORTANT: One hand of the assisting Rider or Crew Member must be firmly grasping a
Handle to ensure they do not fall off the Shuttle while helping a re-boarding Swimmer.

17
Cleaning and Storage
▪When the Super Shuttle is not being used, store it in a covered, shaded area. This will help
protect it against ultraviolet (UV) rays and extend the life of the product. Do not allow the
Shuttle to sit in hot sun on the beach for prolonged periods. Air pressure within the Shuttle
could increase to levels which could cause damage or unrepairable rupture of the product.
Release air periodically to maintain proper and safe air pressure.
▪Clean the Shuttle completely with mild soap and fresh water. NEVER USE PETROLEUM
BASED PRODUCTS OR SOLVENTS FOR CLEANING.
▪Never use a power washer to clean the Shuttle. The high pressure spray will permanently
damage the soft PVC material beyond repair, thus voiding the warranty.
▪Shuttle should be completely dry and remain dry while in storage.
▪Roll the product loosely and place in a ventilated container, preferably one that rodents can’t
chew through.
▪Secure the product to prevent unauthorized or unsupervised use.
▪Store in a cool, dry location. Do not store product directly on concrete surface. Place
mothballs around stored inflatable to keep mice and insects away.
