INFLATION AND ASSEMBLY
Begin by inserting the tube into its cover (when applicable) and aligning it as well as
possible. When there are multiple air chambers inate the smaller push-in valve(s) rst
and the large, screw-in (Boston) valve last. To inate your tube, use any high volume,
low-pressure inator. Your O’BRIEN dealer can direct you to the O’BRIEN 12-volt
inator or any of the many foot pumps or hand pumps that are available. Some of the
O’BRIEN inatables come with large Boston valves that may be lled using either the
pumps referred to above or your local gas stations air hose. When included, you will
nd it under the top cap of the large screw-in valve.
A towable tube comes with either a “Quick Connect” hook tting a webbing strap or
a section of rope at the towing end of the tube. These are for connecting your towline.
Be sure the line is connected securely. Check it regularly between rides to avoid the
dangers of a sudden disconnect.
MAINTENANCE OF YOUR TUBE
After use, clean debris from your tube by wiping it off or spraying it with fresh water.
This is especially important if it has been used in salt water, or in an area where there
has been exposure to oil or gasoline.
Never use harsh detergents to clean the tube. If you need more than water, use dish-
washing detergent or a similarly mild cleansing agent.
Dry your tube and store it DEFLATED, in a cool, dry area. Storage in a very cold
area could result in cracking of the vinyl tubes.
REPAIRS
Your tube is made of very durable materials; but you may get an occasional puncture.
A repair kit is included with your O’BRIEN tube. To patch your tube, take the follow-
ing steps:
1. Clean the area around the hole to remove any foreign matter. Mild detergent should
sufce.
2. Cut a patch (round or oval shaped) from the patching material included in the repair
kit. The patch must be somewhat larger than the hole.
3. Apply thin layer of glue to the patch and the area around the hole. Allow the glue to
set on each for about 1 minute.
4. Position the patch over the hole and press down rmly on a at surface. Remove
any trapped air by rubbing the patch from the center outward.
5. Wait 24 hours to reinate your tube.
