• Carefully read this manual and follow the instructions.
• Do not use in shallow water or near shore, docks, pilings,
swimmers, other watercraft, or any other obstacles.
• Use only on water.
• Never attempt land or dock starts. This will increase your
risk of injury or death.
• Always wear a properly fitted life jacket (PFD) approved
by your country’s agency, USCG Type III, ISO, etc.
• The faster you ski or ride, the greater your risk of injury.
• Never make sharp turns that may cause a slingshot effect
on the skier/rider’s speed.
• Skier/Rider should be towed at an appropriate speed for
their ability level.
• Only use your tube with a responsible watercraft operator
who knows how to operate a watercraft properly.
• Take all reasonable precautions in the use and operation
of your tube and boat.
• Teach anyone using your tube how to attach it to the
rope, how to ride it, and how to maintain it.
• Use a single tube for not more than one rider and no
more than two riders for a double tube. Do not exceed
the manufacturer’s recommended number of riders for
your particular tube.
• If the tube is designed for more than one person, take
extra precaution to avoid colliding with one another.
• The stress on the rope is different from the stress on the
tube, and will vary with the weight of the passengers,
design, and surface area of the tube.
• Never strap or attach anyone to the tube or cover.
Never put your feet or hands through the strapping of the

Resources Required
• If applicable, a low-pressure, high volume inflater such
as a 12 volt inflater, foot or hand pump, or a local gas
station air hose.
Inflation and Assembly

and aligning it as well as possible.
2. When there are multiple air chambers inflate the smaller
push-in valve(s) first and the large, screw-in (Boston) valve last.

• Never attempt jumps or dangerous tricks with your tube.
If more than one tube is being towed, avoid collisions
with other tubes.
• Scout the area before use to avoid any debris or
obstacles that might present a safety hazard.
• Be in good physical condition and be cautious in your use
of this or any other towable tube.
• Check the rope and connector for frays, cuts, sharp
edges, knots, or wear before each use. Discard rope if
any such condition exists or if rope appears to be worn.
Such conditions may lead to breaks.
• Do not use tow rope with elastic or bungee material to pull
skiers or riders. Such an addition can break or stretch which
may lead to injury of users or boat occupants.
• Rope is subject to deterioration when exposed to direct
sunlight. The life of the product will be extended when
stored away from sunlight.
• The tow rope should be replaced when signs of
deterioration appear, indicated by the existence of
discoloration, wearing, fraying or raveling.
• Do not add hardware or attachments that are not
otherwise supplied by the manufacturer.
3. Locate the valve (Fig.1A) on the main tube, under the
valve cover on the nylon cover.
4. To inflate your tube, use any high volume, low-pressure
inflator. Some of the Taylor Made Towable Tubes come
with large Boston valves that may be filled using either
the pumps referred to above or your local gas stations air
hose. When included, it can be found under the top cap
of the large screw-in valve. Inflate until it is firm and the
cover is wrinkle-free and taut. Close the valve completely.
Close the valve cover by aligning and pressing the hook
and loop fastener (Fig.2A) together.
5. A towable tube comes with either a “Quick Connect”
hook (Fig.3A) fitting a webbing strap or a section of rope
at the towing end of the tube. These are for connecting
your towline. Be sure the line is connected securely.
Check it regularly between rides to avoid the dangers
of a sudden disconnect.

has been exposure to oil or gasoline.
Never use harsh detergents to clean the tube. If you need
more than water, use dish-washing detergent or a similarly
mild cleansing agent.
Dry your tube and store it DEFLATED, in a cool, dry area.
