Water Sports Responsibility Code Water sports are fun and challenging but involve inherent risks of injury or death. To increase your enjoyment of the sport and to reduce your risks, use common sense and follow these rules. Before you start: Familiarize yourself with all applicable federal, state and local laws, the risks inherent in the sport and the proper use of the equipment. Know the waterways. Always have a person other than the boat driver as an observer.
Your equipment and your tow rope: Inspect all equipment prior to use. Check tube and attachment point and flotation device prior to each use. Do not use if damaged. Always wear a U.S. Guard Type III (PFD) vest. Ropes should be attached to the watercraft in an approved fashion with hardware designed for pulling. Refer to your watercraft manual for instructions on proper tow rope attachment. Tow ropes stretch during use.
Always remove any slack in the rope between watercraft and rider before starting. Sudden shock loads may cause injury to the rider or failure of rope, resulting in snap-back or breakage. Do not ride in shallow water, near shore, pilings, docks, rafts, swimmers, other boats or other obstacles. Such obstacles are examples of risks inherent to the sport. The driver and rider must watch for and be able to stop or turn to avoid obstacles.
OPEN To open valve, depress stem and rotate clockwise. To close valve, depress stem and rotate counter-clockwise. The valve stem should be in the depressed position while inflating. Once inflation is complete, remove the blower and quickly close the valve to avoid loss of pressure. CLOSE Step 3 Attach a properly rated tow rope (not included). ! WARNING DO NOT OVER-INFLATE. Use of an air compressor or over-inflation can rupture the tube beyond repair, thus voiding the warranty.
Secure the product to prevent unauthorized or unsupervised use. Store in a cool, dry location. Do not store product directly on concrete surface. Place mothballs around stored inflatable to keep mice and insects away. Repairs For large holes, tears or seam failures, contact RAVE Sports Customer Service at 1-800-659-0790.
