Installation Guide

Note: To avoid damaging the rooster tail device (if product contains a “RAVE

tail”)

• Do not drag the product on the ground.

• Do not store product in excessively hot area.

• Do not tow or sit in the product while it is in contact with the ground.

• Avoid extreme shallow water starts as the weight of the rider(s) can

depress the rooster tail device into the lake bottom causing damage during

takeoff.

• NOTE: Ensure the outer edge seam of the bladder is aligned with the cover

seam and is spread out evenly within the cover. A misaligned cover can

cause distortion and less than optimal performance of the tube and rooster

tail.

• NOTE: If your tube has a RAVE tail; it is highly recommended that you keep

the cardboard insert shipped in the RAVE tail to be reinserted during

storage to maintain the shape of the device.

Troubleshooting

Air chamber(s) won’t hold air:

• Check stem valves to ensure plugs are fully seated down into the valve

body.

• Check main Boston valve to ensure plastic ring is not caught under the seal

or cap.

• Check for holes in bladder following the procedures in the “Repair” section.

Repairs

For minor holes or tears:

 Remove the inner bladder from the cover.

 Inflate the tube and locate the leak by spraying the tube with soapy water.

Bubbles will appear where there is a leak.

 Determine the hole size and cut a circular patch ½ - 1 inch wider than the

hole.

 Remove air from the tube and dry tube completely where the patch is to be

applied.

 Peel off paper back from patch, apply repair patch to area and work out any

air bubbles from beneath the patch.

 Apply weight to the patched area for one hour before re-inflating.

 Put the bladder back into the cover.
