Setup

Step 1: Unpack and Prepare

Remove the float tube and all accessories from the carry bag. Lay the float tube on a clean, flat surface, ensuring it is free from any sharp objects that could cause damage.

Step 2: Inflate the Bladders

Locate the Boston type valves on the float tube. Use the provided air pump with the appropriate nozzle. Inflate the main bladders until they are firm but not over-inflated. For optimal results, partially inflate the bladders, insert them into the outer fabric cover, and then complete the inflation process.

Step 3: Install the Seat and Backrest

The seat and backrest bladders are typically distinct (e.g., one for the seat, one for the backrest). Inflate these bladders and insert them into their respective pockets on the float tube. Secure the seat using the adjustable shoulder straps located on either side to prevent any unwanted movement or sliding during use.

Operating

Entering the Float Tube

Carefully enter the float tube from shallow water. Ensure your personal flotation device is securely fastened and that you are positioned comfortably in the padded seat before venturing into deeper water.

Maintenance

Cleaning

After each use, rinse the float tube thoroughly with fresh water to remove any dirt, salt, or debris. Allow it to air dry completely in a shaded area before storage to prevent mildew and material degradation.

Storage

Deflate the bladders by opening the Boston valves. Carefully fold the float tube neatly and place it into the provided carry bag. Store the float tube in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prolong its lifespan.

Minor Repairs

In the event of a minor puncture, use a PVC repair kit (not included) to patch the affected area. Follow the repair kit's instructions carefully. Ensure the area to be patched is clean and completely dry before applying the patch.

Troubleshooting

• Float tube losing air: Check all valves to ensure they are tightly closed. Inspect the bladders and outer fabric cover thoroughly for any visible punctures or tears.
• Seat sliding during use: Ensure the seat's shoulder straps are properly secured and adjusted to a snug fit to prevent any unwanted movement.
• Difficulty inflating: Verify that the pump nozzle is correctly attached to the valve and that the air pump is functioning properly. Check for any blockages in the pump or hose.
