Instructions / Assembly
causes the air in tubes to be displaced and the tube may rupture. The same
stress causes nylon covers to tear and ropes to stretch. The boat/watercraft
cannot plane o and extra gas is consumed.
PROPERLY INFLATED
Photo B- shows a properly inated tube. Note how the cover is taut with few
wrinkles, and how the adult barely sinks in when standing on the tube. This
tube would ride high on the water, providing you with an exciting ride - less
stress on the tube, cover, rope, and boat/watercraft. Proper ination will
insure a longer life-span for your product.
INFLATION MAINTENANCE
Finally, it is not enough to simply ll it up and go! It is important to monitor the
amount of air in this product as heat will cause the bladder to expand,
possibly causing damage to the seams or I-beams. If you leave a full tube
sitting in the sun for any length of time, it will expand. Either store it in the
shade, or let some air out. Don’t let it sit on the beach, dock, or
boat/watercraft full of air! At the same time, if it is stored out of the sun in a
cool place, you may need to add air. Check and adjust ination levels each
time you use your tube. You’ll have more fun, and your products will last
longer.
HOW MUCH AIR IS THE RIGHT AMOUNT?
In general, the tube is full when it is very rm. Covered tubes should be
wrinkle free. An adult should be able to stand on the tube and only sink a
couple of inches. In order to achieve this level of ination, the PVC must
stretch, which is why the choice of inators is so important. It has to pump a
high volume of air while having enough pressure to stretch the PVC. Again,
very rm, wrinkle free, and you’ll be riding high and having the time of your
life! Towable tubes need to be full of air and properly maintained for long
product life and ultimate performance. In order to properly inate and
maintain tubes, you must have the proper equipment.
