Aquaglide Freefall 6 Gebrauchsanweisung Seite 11

Assembly
1) Locate a flat, dry area with access to electrical outlet or extension cord.
IMPORTANT: Because of the size and weight of the Freefall, careful thought
must be given to the setup area. The best setup position will also make launch-
ing easy. Therefore, locate the Freefall near the water's edge. NOTE: Dragging
or sliding the Freefall over ground either before or after inflation can cause
damage.
2) Once in the setup/ launch position, unfold the Freefall completely and locate
the Slide Valve. The Slide Valve is located on the left hand side of the slide near
water level. Remove valve cover and push valve plunger in. Twist the valve stem
90 degrees to open or close the 1-Way valve feature. See diagram for details.
3) Using a high output pump capable of reaching 1.6 psi (minimum) , place the
inflation hose with proper adaptor into the Slide Valve to inflate the Slide section
of the Freefall. Inflate to 1.0 psi (0,069 bar). Check for proper air pressure
using a manometer. After inflation, replace Slide Valve cover. Inflation times can
vary by inflator, but the slide section should be firm and tight when completely
inflated. DO NOT OVER-FILL. Excessively high pressure can cause dam-
age to the product and may void the warranty. Carefully monitor air pressure in
the product especially during hot weather.
WARNING: Do not use an air compressor to inflate tube. Air compressors are
designed for high pressure inflation and can cause tube to burst if over-inflated.
4) Next locate the Main (ladder) Valve located on the back of the Freefall, near
the Warning Labels. Inflate to 1.8 psi (0,124 bar) and replace the valve cover.
Check for proper air pressure using a manometer.
WARNING: Do not use the Freefall without adequate air pressure - 1.6 p.s.i.
(0,110 bar) minimum in the Main (ladder) bladder.
5) Next inflate the 2 Guard Rail Chambers found at the top of the Freefall. Follow
the instructions and warnings found in Step #3 to properly inflate the Guard
Rails.
6) Depending on the application, some users may have purchased an optional
Swimstep or Runway boarding platform. If you have a boarding platform, con-
nect it now using the instructions provided with the accessory. NOTE: It is best
to attach such items while they are deflated. Once fully attached with Interloc
straps, then inflate.
7) To launch the product, make sure to have at least 4 people evenly spaced
around the product to help carry it. NEVER DRAG THE FREEFALL! YOU MUST
LIFT AND SET THE PRODUCT ON THE WATER TO AVOID ANY ACCIDENTAL
TEARING AND/OR ABRASION.
Anchoring
IMPORTANT: Proper anchoring is essential to the safety and performance
of your product. Due to the wide variety of conditions, we advise using a
professional skilled in mooring and anchoring, and experienced with local
conditions. If improperly anchored, the product can move and/or float away.
Aquaglide, Inc. is not responsible for any damage, injuries or losses due to
improper anchoring.
NOTE: There are 4 heavy duty anchor rings underneath the Freefall. These
rings are located inward from, and underneath each of the 4 corners. Due to the
high loads that may be generated, you must use AT LEAST 2 of these rings to
spread the load and properly secure the product under normal conditions. We
Aquaglide, Inc. #1 North Shore Dr, SE White Salmon, WA 98672
strongly recommend using an optional 2-Way Heavy Duty Mooring Bridle, not
included.
Here are some general guidelines for anchoring your product. These guidelines
are not intended to replace the need for professional installation.
1) Choose a location for your Freefall and/or aquapark. Place the product in at
least 8 ft. (2,44m) of water depth and in an area protected from the wind and
boat traffic. Review your lake rules and restrictions with your local authorities.
2) Carefully check the water and seabed below the selected area for sharp or
dangerous objects (i.e. rocks or stumps).
3) Keep a safe distance from docks, boats, boat lifts, and any other structures.
DO NOT tie the product to a dock!
4) Anchors and anchor chain are sold separately. We recommend a MINIMUM
of 150 lbs. for short-term anchoring of the Freefall in settled conditions. Heavier
and/ or multiple moorings (300 lbs. or more) should be used with Aquaparks or
on large, windy bodies of water.
5) Attach anchor chain securely to the anchor. Use a buoy tied to the other end
of the chain to easily locate your anchor.
6) When the product is in place, remove the buoy and shackle the anchor chain
to the anchor rings underneath the product. BE SURE TO ALLOW enough
slack in the anchor chain to allow the product to move in wind or waves without
displacing your mooring.
7) At anchor, the Freefall is most stable with the slide face toward the wind, as
this applies downward force to the product. WARNING: Orienting the product
across the wind, or with the climbing ladder toward the wind can generate
enough lift to topple the product even in moderate winds. Make sure to account
for this when setting your moorings.
8) If strong winds or storms are expected, it is best to remove the product from
the water and secure or store it.
Operation
1) This item is a water slide. Users climb to the top of the item on the climbing
wall and slide down the face in sitting position. This item must be used with at
least one Aquaglide Platinum boarding platform.
2) When connecting multiple items, use only Aquaglide Interloc™ straps and
connecting rings according to the Interloc™ Strap instructions provided. Make
sure that the connection is tight and that there is NO GAP greater than 25mm
(~3/4") between items. IMPORTANT: Failure to connect these items properly
may result in injury or death.
3) We strongly recommend maintaining supervision at all times during use by a
professionally certified lifeguard. NEVER use unattended.
4) Do not exceed the product's recommended number of users or capacity.
5) USE COMMON SENSE. Never jump or dive from the product. Do not
allow anyone to stand on the top of the product because motion could cause a
loss of balance and injury.
