Safety Information
- This product is an aid and not a substitute for constant adult supervision of children and individuals in or near water.

Operating Instructions
- Identify Person in Distress: Locate the individual requiring assistance in the water.

- Instruct the Swimmer: Encourage the person to grab onto the float-ball or the rope.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Rinse the lifeline with fresh water after each use, especially if used in chlorinated or saltwater, to remove chemicals and debris.
- Drying: Allow the lifeline to air dry completely before coiling and storing to prevent mildew and degradation of the rope material.
- Storage: Store the lifeline in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. Keep it coiled neatly to prevent tangling.
- Inspection: Periodically check the entire length of the rope, the hand loop, and the float-ball for any cuts, fraying, discoloration, or other signs of wear.
Troubleshooting
- Rope Tangling: If the rope frequently tangles, ensure it is properly coiled after each use. Consider using a storage reel or bag designed for ropes.
- Reduced Buoyancy of Float: If the float-ball appears to lose buoyancy, inspect it for punctures or damage. A damaged float should be replaced immediately.
- Rope Wear/Fraying: Any significant wear or fraying compromises the strength of the lifeline. Discontinue use and replace the product to ensure safety.
