INFLATION We highly recommend using the RAVE High Speed Inflator/Deflator. It will provide rapid inflation/deflation and will achieve optimum air pressure in your RAVE product. (Part #01083 not included). To lock open valve, depress the stem OPEN and rotate ¼ turn clockwise. To close valve, depress the stem and rotate ¼ turn counter-clockwise. The valve stem should be in the depressed position while inflating. CLOSE Replace cap on valve after inflation to ensure air tight seal.
! CAUTION DO NOT USE AN AIR COMPRESSOR TO INFLATE THIS PRODUCT. USE OF AN AIR COMPRESSOR MAY CAUSE OVER-INFLATION, WHICH CAN DAMAGE OR RUPTURE SEAMS, THUS VOIDING THE WARRANTY. DO NOT EXCEED 2.5 PSI INFLATION PRESSURE. IMPORTANT: It is normal for the air pressure within air filled tubes to fluctuate depending on air and water temperatures. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the air pressure in your product accordingly.
Step 3 Use 4 people to carry it to the water by using the 4 handles. CAUTION: To avoid risk of puncture or damage to the product, DO NOT DRAG the product. Always carry it to the water. Float the Activity Island to the desired location for anchoring. Anchoring There are two anchor attachment points on the bottom side of the Island. They are located directly below the anchor graphic.

Step 5 Pull towards the ring on the Island to draw the Aqua Beam tight up against the Activity Island. Repeat for second strap. Step 6 Lift up the Velcro flap that is on the edge of the Activity Island. Then place the Velcro from the Aqua Beam on top of the Velcro strip on the Activity Island. Press Activity Island flap down to secure the Aqua Beam. Step 7 Anchor far end of the Aqua Beam using the ring on the bottom side. Aqua Beam is ready for use.
How to Connect the Launch Pad to Activity Island Step 1 Before inflating the Launch Pad, lay the inflatable on a flat surface. Make sure there are no sharp objects under the product that might puncture the material. Step 2 Locate the valve and start inflating it. See inflation and valve operation on page 8. Inflate tube until it is firm like a basketball. Step 3 Pick a side to mount the Launch Pad that is oriented in the direction of water that is a minimum of 10 feet deep.
Step 4 Feed strap through ring of Activity Island going towards the direction of the Launch Pad. Pull it upwards towards the top ring that is attached to the Launch Pad. Step 5 Feed through the backside of the top ring. Pull strap downward and fasten to itself. Important: Ensure the strap is fastened across the entire length of the Velcro. Repeat for second strap.
Step 6 On the bottom of the launch pad there are two straps. Take the longer strap and feed it through the bottom and side rings on Activity Island starting with the bottom ring and continuing upwards through the side ring. Step 7 Feed strap through the ring that it started from. Pull the strap downward and securely fasten across the entire length of the Velcro. Step 8 When properly connected, it will look similar to the photo shown.
Now that the Launch Pad is connected onto the Activity Island, it is time to connect the Aqua Launch. How to Connect the Aqua Launch to Launch Pad and Activity Island Step 1 Lay the Aqua Launch on a flat surface. Make sure there are no sharp objects under the product that might puncture the tube. Step 2 See inflation and valve operation on page 8. Inflate the Launch until the tip of the inflation gauge strap is just touching the ground. DO NOT FILL THE LAUNCH TO FULL CAPACITY.
Step 4 It is easiest to attach while Activity Island, Launch Pad and Aqua Launch are in shallow water. Bring the Aqua Launch straps up to the buckles on the Launch Pad. Feed the strap through the buckle and pull it through until the edge of the apron is approximately 13” from the teeth of the buckle. Make sure not to pull Aqua Launch up too high because the apron will have too much tension. 13” Step 5 Ensure that all three straps are uniformly spaced apart and are parallel to each other.
Step 6 After tucking in the rolled up strap ends and covering them, this is what the Launch Pad and Aqua Launch should look like. Step 7 NOTE: There are three straps near the bottom of the Launch. The center strap is not used when connecting the Launch to the Activity Island. Take one of the outermost straps and fold it at the rectangular ring. The side with the plastic buckle will be underneath.
Step 10 When the strap is through both rings, pull down firmly and fasten to itself across the entire length of the Velcro. Step 11 Repeat steps 7-10 to secure the other strap in place. When both straps are tightly strapped down, this is what it should look like. Aqua Launch is ready for use. NOTE: The purpose of the apron is to prevent users from slipping or falling into the space between the Launch and the Launch Pad wall. TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THIS PRODUCT: DO NOT JUMP OR STAND ON THE APRON.
How to Connect the Rope Swing Access Ramp to the Activity Island Step 1 Before inflating the Access Ramp, lay the inflatable on a flat surface. Make sure there are no sharp objects under the product that might puncture the material. Step 2 Locate the valve and start inflating. See inflating and valve operation on page 8. Inflate tube until it is firm like a basketball. Step 3 Pick a side to mount the Rope Swing that provides adequate clearance for swinging and with a water depth of at least 10 feet.
Step 5 Feed through the backside of the top ring. Pull strap downward and fasten to itself. Important: Ensure the strap is fastened across the entire length of the Velcro. Repeat for second strap. Step 6 There are four straps on the lower portion of the Access Ramp.
Take the two outside straps and feed them upwards through the ring that is on the side of Activity Island. Then feed it through the ring at the starting point of the strap. Step 7 Pull down on the strap and Velcro it down tight. Ensure the strap is fastened along the entire length of Velcro. Step 8 Repeat the same steps 6-7 for the opposite strap. Once both straps are fastened, check and make sure both are secure.
How to Connect the Rope Swing to the Access Ramp and Activity Island NOTE: The grey platform is not used when connecting the Rope Swing to Activity Island. NOTE: There are three straps connected to the Rope Swing center tube section. These straps are also not used when connecting the Rope Swing to the Activity Island. Roll up the straps and secure with a rubber band or similar device so they are not in the way when attaching to the Activity Island.
Ensure the Rope Swing, Access Ramp and Activity Island are securely fastened together. Rope Swing is now ready for use.
