Troubleshooting Guide - AIRHEAD EZ SKI BIG Manual Del Usuario

• Be sure the driver is aware of the experience and ability level of the skier/rider.
• The driver, observer and skier/ rider need to agree on hand signals before skiing or riding. Signals should include READY, STOP,
SPEED UP, and SLOW DOWN.
• Start the engine only after making sure that no one in the water is near the propeller.
• Turn the engine off when people are getting into or out of the watercraft, or in the water near the watercraft.
• Always make sure the tow rope is not wrapped around anyone's hands, arms, legs, or other parts of the body.
• Start the watercraft and move slowly to remove slack until the tow rope is tight.
• When the skier/rider signals READY and there is no traffic ahead, take off in a straight line. Adjust the speed according to the
signals given by the skier/rider.
Skiing or Riding: The watercraft and skier/rider should always maintain a sufficient distance from obstacles so a skier/rider falling or
coasting and/or watercraft will not encounter any obstacle.
• 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.
Fallen skier or rider: Falling and injuries are common in skiing or riding.
• Circle a fallen skier/rider slowly to return the tow rope handle or pick up the fallen skier/rider.
• Put the watercraft in neutral when near a fallen skier/rider.
• Always keep the fallen skier/rider in view and on the driver's side of the watercraft.
• Display a red or orange skier-down flag to alert other vessels that a skier/rider is down.

INFLATION
Proper inflation is the key to fully enjoying this product. The cover should be taut with few wrinkles. You should barely sink it
when standing on the tube. Use an AIRHEAD Air Pump for best results. Use caution and do not over-inflate above 1.4 psi if using
compressed air or the AIRHEAD AHP-120HP High Pressure Air Pump. Use an AIRHEAD Pressure Release Valve with the pump to
ensure no chance of over inflation.
Your inflatable is equipped with the following type of valve:
Speed Safety Valve
Secure the valve by firmly fastening the bottom portion of the valve into the base.
Inflating: Open cap or top portion of the valve. Insert hose from your inflator into the top opening.
Deflate: Pull out cap and bottom portion of the valve.
Monitoring & Maintaining Proper Inflation:
To prevent serious damage to seams and I-beams, remove some air or move to a shaded area when exposure to direct sunlight
heats up the tube and causes the air inside to expand. Add some air if exposure to cool air or water lowers the air pressure inside.
MAINTENANCE:
Very little care is required for the bladder or cover.
• You may clean your towable using soap and water or mild detergent.
• Never use strong cleaning agents.
• This item, when clean and dry, can be deflated and stored in a cool, dry area out of direct sunlight.
• Avoid storing this product in areas of extreme temperatures and please take precautions against animals and rodents.
• Bright colored fabric covers used on the towable may bleed or fade when initially wet. Protect all boat interiors and all other
surfaces from possible staining.
Product won't hold air: Make sure that the valve is installed properly by removing and re-installing. If you suspect that the product
was not inflated fully, add some air.
Valve is leaking: Make sure that the valve was installed correctly. Red valve cap must be tightly fit so its flush with the valve
opening.
Bladder does not get firm and/or Nylon Cover is loose: Your air pump probably doesn't produce enough pressure to completely
fill the bladder. Top off your inflatable with a Double Action Hand Pump or Foot Pump.
