position the product safely on the ground or water before each use. Please inspect

INFLATION:
Your Sportsstuff product is equipped with one or more of the following types of valves:
Safety Valve – push-in valve used on safety chambers for use with
electric or hand pump. Affix the end of your inflator hose into the
small opening in valve. Make sure you open the small flap inside
the opening and inflate until firm. A small plastic straw is included
with tubes using this valve. This straw may temporarily be inserted
in the valve to keep the flap open while inflating and deflating.
Raised Speed Valve – for use with standard electric pump, shop
vac, wet vac, leaf blowers, vacuum with a 2-way switch for fast
inflation / deflation.
EZ Lock Valve - Sits flush with the tube bladder, with locking lid.
for use with standard electric pumps, shop vac, wet vac, leaf blow-
ers, or any vacuum with a 2-way switch for fast inflation/deflation.
58-1300SuperSlopeManual07.qxd 11/28/07 5:18 PM Page 3

Speed Safety Valve - A hybrid valve utilizing the best of both the
Oversized Safety Valve and the Speed Valve. Pulls out for fast infla-
tion/deflation, then can be pushed in flush with the tube. For use
with standard electric pumps, shop vac, wet vac, leaf blowers, and
vacuums with a 2-way switch for fast inflation/deflation.
Proper inflation is the key to the optimum performance of this product. The tube is
designed to be inflated until very firm and sturdy.
Secure the valve by firmly inserting the bottom portion of the valve into the base.
To inflate, open only the top portion of the valve. Using the hose from your inflator,
inflate through the top opening of the valve.
The best air pumps to use are:
• 110v electric: 2.5 psi (
model #57-1509) or 3.0 psi ( model #57-1508)
• Hand/foot pump specifically for towables: LP1 (model #57-1003)
• 12v pumps (model #57-1510) can also be used but a their maximum output is
only .8 psi so a secondary pump such as the Sportsstuff LP1 hand pump (model
#57-1003) will need to be used.
• Leaf Blower
• Vacuum with two-way switch
Various types of air pumps are available from Sportsstuff at 1-888-814-8833.

is in place. The cover should fit snuggly over the well-inflated tube. If the cover
