ASSEMBLY
• Rope should be attached to the watercraft in an approved fashion with hardware designed for
towing. • Tow ropes stretch during use. If a rope breaks or is suddenly released, it can snap back
into the watercraft. Warn all riders, skiers, and occupants of the danger of rope recoil. • When in
the boat, keep away from the tow rope to avoid injury. Passengers can be hit or become entangled
in the rope. • Inspect tow rope and its attachments before using. Do not use tow rope if frayed,
knotted or damaged. Replace when signs of excessive deterioration are indicated by discoloration,
broken filaments, unraveling, or other obvious signs of wear on the rope or hardware. • Use proper
tow rope for the activity. • Ensure tow rope is clear of all body parts prior to starting out or during
use. • Keep persons and ropes away from propeller when engine is running, even in neutral.
Should rope become entangled in propeller, SHUT OFF ENGINE AND REMOVE IGNITION KEY
BEFORE RETRIEVING ROPE.
When you ski or ride:
• Attempting land or dock starts can increase the risk of injury or death. • Always remove any
slack in the rope between watercraft and skier/ rider before starting. Sudden shock loads may
cause injury to skier/rider or failure of rope, resulting in snap-back or breakage. • Do not ski or
ride in shallow water, near shore, pilings, docks, rafts, swimmers, other boats, or other obstacles.
Such obstacles are examples of risks that are inherent in the sport. • The driver and skier/rider
must watch for and be able to stop or turn to avoid obstacles. • Always ski or ride in control and
at speeds appropriate for your ability limits. Do not ski or ride over ramps or jumps without prior
instruction.
• Falling and the injuries that may result are inherent risks in the sport. • Use a flag to signal to
others that a skier or rider is in the water. • Driver must use extra caution approaching a fallen
skier/rider and keep eye contact on fallen skier/rider at all times. • Put the boat in neutral when
near a fallen skier/rider. Turn the engine off when people are getting into or out of the boat or in
the water near the boat. • Do not operate watercraft, ski, or ride under the influence of alcohol or
drugs.
Wakeboard Towers and Tow Points
Wakeboard towers are not designed for pulling towables. Use only lifting eyes for towing tubes
with 2 or more riders. Do not tow inflatables from ski pylons or ski eyes unless recommended by
the boat manufacturer. Tow pylons and ski eyes installed aftermarket are not intended for towing
inflatables.
Aquaglide ® assumes no liability for injuries or damages resulting from not following these
instructions.
Proper Inflation
Proper inflation is the key to optimum performance and durability of this product. During use, the
cover should be taught with few wrinkles, and you should barely sink into the tube when standing
on it. If the tube is under inflated, damage can occur to the tube when towing. Use caution and
do not over-inflate above 1.4 psi. When not in use, be sure to remove some air from the tube and
move the tube to a shaded location. Exposure to direct sunlight heats the tube and causes the air
inside to expand, causing serious damage to the seams and I-beams.
Rapid Inflate Valve Inflating – Unscrew the cap and insert the pump fitting into the valve. Be sure
to open the flap at the base of the valve.
Remove the pump fitting after filling completely, and make sure the black flap is seated securely
closing the valve. If the flap is not seated, pull red tab to close valve.
Replace the cap.
Deflating – Unscrew the cap and use a dull object to hold the flap open while the product deflates.
Replace the cap for storage.
Assembly Instructions
1. Lay the product out on a flat surface without sharp objects that could puncture the PVC bladder
or cover. If the product has an outer cover, make sure the inside PVC bladder is unfolded and the
valves are in the correct position, aligned with the cover valve openings.
2. Inflate the product to about 50% full. If your product has a cover, re-check to make sure it
is correctly aligned with the PVC bladder and valves. If there is more than one chamber in the
bladder, inflate the outer chamber first. After the cover is aligned with the PVC bladder, inflate the
chambers to 100% starting with the outer chamber.
DO NOT DRAG the product into the water.
Carry the product to avoid wear on the cover and possible punctures of the PVC bladder. To
anchor the product, always use the quick release towing attachment.
For longer term anchoring, run the anchor line from the towing attachment through the fitting in the
center of the bottom of the tube to anchor the tube in the middle.
