Assembly of the Nautilus
SET UP
:CAUTION: Read completely before starting!
Step 1 - Prepare site, unpack, & orient product
Prepare a relatively flat location near the water’s edge by removing rocks,
sticks or other sharp objects that could puncture or damage the product.
Unpack all product pieces which include:
•Main Body
•Drop Slide
•Speed Slides (2)
•Boarding Platform
Lay out the Main Body on a flat location free of debris near the water’s
edge. Locate the Speed Slide and Drop Slide connection rings on the top of
the Main Body. A total of six connection rings and a printed warning are
located on the Speed Slides side on the top of the Nautilus. Rotate the
Nautilus so that Speed Slide connection rings are oriented toward the body
of water and away from shore. (Refer to Overview diagram on Page 7.) This
position will make it easier to launch after inflation.
Identify the top of the slides and lay them out in the correct position on
top of the main body. Once laid out, locate the three rings on the
underside of the top end of each of the three slides. NOTE: Top of slides
have a blue arch with printing.

9
Step 2 – Connect rings on top of slides and begin inflation
Use quick links to connect the top of Speed Slides and Drop Slide to Main
Body (3 rings each) (see photos below).
CAUTION: Do not connect lower portion of slides and do not inflate the slides at
this point. Inflate these after the Main Body has been inflated.
2.1
Set up to inflate the Main Body by locating the grey round inflation
valves on the corner nearest the Drop Slide (near the main warning
labels) and connect to an inflator.
To 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.
NOTE: RAVE Sports recommends using TWO
(2) RAVE High Speed Inflator/Deflators for
rapid inflation. (Item #01083 or #01090
(Europe)).
If using the RAVE Sports High Speed Inflator,
simply lock the adaptor onto the end of the
inflation hose and insert into the valve body.
Turn ¼ turn to lock in place.
N

10
This inflation adaptor will automatically open the valve
when inserted and will close the valve when removed.
The valve will not need to be manually opened /closed
when using this special adaptor.
NOTE: If needing to inflate the Nautilus while it is in
the water, use RAVE’s 20ft Extended Hose Kit (#20900).
This extra-long hose will allow an electric inflator to
stay safely on shore or in a boat with the hose
reaching over the water to the inflation valves on the
product.
DO NOT OVERINFLATE
Do not use compressed air for inflating this product as it can
lead to excessive pressure which can cause the product to
rupture with potentially damaging force to eyes, ears, skin and
limbs.
Use of an air compressor or over-inflation can rupture the tube
beyond repair, thus voiding the warranty.
