PRODUCT INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
PRODUCT INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
Watersports can be safe and fun for all levels of enthusiasts. The Operator's Manual is presented to
enhance your enjoyment of the sport. It is intended to alert you to some of the potentially dangerous
conditions that can arise in all watersports.
To reduce the risk of injury or death, follow these guidelines:
• Carefully read this manual and follow the instructions.
• 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 strap-
ping of the towing system or handles. Never wedge your hands or feet under the cover or between the
cover and the tube.
• 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.
• Know your own limits. Stop when you are tired. Act responsibly. 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.
