PROPER INFLATION:
Properinflationisthekeytooptimumperformanceanddurabilityofthisproduct.Whileinuse,thecovershouldbe
taughtwithfewwrinkles.Onceinflatedyoushouldtestwhetherthereisenoughairinthetubebyhavinganadult
standontopofthetube.Ifthetubeisproperlyinflated,thentheadultwillbarelysinkintothetubewhilestanding
ontopofit.Ifthetubeisunderinflateddamagecanoccurtothetubewhileitisbeingtowedandthewarrantywill
bevoided.Itisimportanttomonitortheamountofairintheproductoncetheitemisinuse.Continuetomake
surethatthetubeisproperlyinflated.Whennotinuse,besuretoremovesomeairfromthetubeandputina
shadedarea.Ifyouleaveafulltubesittinginthesunitwillcausetheairinsidetoexpand,causingseriousdamage
totheseamsandI-beamsofthetube.Checkandadjustinflationlevelseachtimeyouusethetube.
THE BEST AIR PUMPS TO USE TO INFLATE YOUR TUBE ARE THE FOLLOWING:
• 110velectric:2.5psior3.0psi.

• Skier/rider,observeranddrivermustagreeonhandsignals.
• Neverstartoutuntilskier/ridersignalshe/sheisready.
• CarbonMonoxide(CO)poisoningfromengineexhaustmaycauseinjuryordeath.Donotsitontheboattransom
 orswimplatformwhiletheengineisrunning.TheseactivitiesmayleadtoexcessiveCOexposurewhichmay
 causeinjuryordeath.Ifyoucansmellengineexhaustwhileintheboat,donotstayseatedinthatpositionforpro
 longedperiods.Never“PlatformDrag”byholdingontotheswimplatformorbedraggeddirectlybehindtheboat.
 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rider.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.
• Donotexceedtheweightguidelinesofyourboat.Onlyusewaterballastandpeopleforadditionalweight.Do
 notallowpassengerstohangoutsidetheboatorsitonthegunwalesoutsidethenormalseatingareaoftheboat.
 Unevenweightdistributionoradditionalweightmayaffectthehandlingoftheboat.Neverallowwatertooverflow
 thegunwalesofyourboat.
• Itistheboat/watercraftdriver’sresponsibilitytoinstructtheridershowtorideatow-able.Theboat/watercraft
 drivershouldcarefullyinstructtheridersofpotentialrisksandpossibleinjurythatmayoccuriftheypartakein
 carelessbehavior.
• Atthebeginningoftheride,carefullytaketheslackoutofthetowrope.Neverjerkstartatowable.Aftertherider
 hassignaledthathe/sheisready,thedrivercanslowlybringthetowabletoaplanningpoint.
• Mosttowableswillplaneoutat10to20mph(16to32km/h),dependingontheweightoftherider(s).Itis
 importanttokeepthenoseoftheitemupuntiltheitemisplanning.
• Theresistanceoftheproductvarieswidelywiththesefactors:boatspeed,turns,waterconditions,numberof
 ridersandtheirweight,towablesize,shapeandfunction.Theboat/watercraftdrivershouldadjusttheboatspeed
 tofitthesesituationstominimizeresistanceofthetowable.
• Donottowinshallowwaterorwithin100feet(31meters)ofshore,docks,pilings,swimmersorotherboatsand
 obstructions.Useinthecenterofaclearboatpath200feet(61meters)wide.Mostaccidentshappenonturns
 andincongestedareas.
• Theboat/watercraftdriverdeterminesthespeedandtheactionofthetowableinturnsandwhencrossingthe
 boat/watercraftwake.Inthestraight-a-ways,theboat/watercrafttowingspeedisthesameasthetowablespeed.
 Thetowablespeedwillincreasewhentheboat/watercraftmakesa90to180degreeturnwithoutincreasingthe
 boat/watercraftspeed.Iftheboat/watercraftspeedis20mph(32km/h),thetow-ablespeedcanbe30-40mph
 (48-64km/h)The“slingshoteffect”sendstheuseroutwardfromthecenterofthetowable.Beawareofthe
