Preparation
Lay the product on a flat surface with no sharp objects that
could puncture the PVC bladder or cover, and do not step on
the product! If the towable has a cover, you must make sure
that the inner tube is wrinkle-free and the valves are correctly
aligned with the valve openings of the cover. If you use the
product for the first time, unscrew the Boston Valve
screw-type valve firmly into the outlet of the main air chamber.
Fully encased towables have zippers for closing the outer
cover. Close these zippers complete,or the cover might be
damaged by the air pressure during inflation!
NOTE: Inflatables are sensitive to cold and should not be
unfolded and inflated at temperatures below +15°C(59°F).
Inflating
When all zippers are closed, start inflating the air chambers.
Open the Boston screw valve of the air chambers and connect
it to the pump adapter. Inflate the air chambers in the right
order. If you use the product for the first time, you may need
to inflate the air chambers repeatedly in succession slightly to
position the bladders and valves correctly in the cover.
NOTE: Only use hand or foot pumps for inflating the towable.
Use in no case a compressor or compressed air. Do not
inflate the product too firm. This can lead to damage and
leaks. The permitted working pressure is 1.2 psi (0.083 bar)
and may be influenced by water temperature and weather.
Cold reduces the pressure, so you should inflate more air.
Heat increases the pressure. In this case, let some air out.

Deflating
To deflate the air controlled, unscrew the Boston screw valve
and push down the internal pin slightly. You can also remove the
screw valve completely to deflate the air quickly and thoroughly.
USAGE
Safety precautions for using towables of CATEGORY: C1
To reduce the risk of injury or death, follow these
guidelines:
a) Only use your towable with a responsible and experienced
watercraft driver.
b) If the towable is designed for more than one person, then the
riders are to take extra care to avoid contact with each other.
c)Never attempt jumps or dangerous tricks with your towable. To
avoid collisions, do not tow more than one towable at a time.
d)Teach anyone using the towable how to use the quick release
device (if any), how to attach it to the rope, how to ride it, and
how to maintain it.
e)Never strap or attach anyone to the towable or towable cover.
f)Never put your feet or hands through handles or through the
strapping of the towing rope attachment system.
g)Never wedge your feet or hands under the towable cover or
between the cover and the hull of the towable.
h)Remove debris or obstacles that might present a safety hazard
during recreational towing.
i)Towing or using these devices can be physically demanding.
Therefore you should know your own limits. Stop when you are
tired and act responsibly.
