Safety Rules and Information

• Read and understand all of the information contained in this

owner’s manual before assembling and using your product.

• Make sure that everyone who uses the product is provided with

and understands these safety rules and information.

• The Aqua Attachments are designed to be used only while

secured to the Classic Aqua Jump® or the Aqua Jump Eclipse in
large bodies of water with depths of at least 10 feet of water.
Do not use or allow anyone else to use the product on land or
any other hard surface or in swimming pools.

• Choose a location for your product that is most protected from

wind, of sufficient water depth, and free of obstructions.

• Always anchor the Aqua Jump Eclipse securely before it is used.

• Always make sure the Aqua Attachments are securely attached

to the Aqua Jump Eclipse before using.

• Always wear a U.S. Coast Guard approved Type III (PFD) vest

when using the products.

• Never use the product after sunset, before dawn, or any other

time in poor lighting conditions.

• Never use the product in rough surface water conditions,

during storms, or when there is lightning. If an unexpected
storm arises while using the product, seek shelter on shore. Do
not stay on the product.

• Never use the product under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

• Always stay under control while using the product.

• Never swim or play under or around the Aqua Attachments.

• Never dive off of or slide down the Aqua Attachments head

first. If you choose to jump off any of the products, always
enter the water feet first.

3

• Never use the product while tired or fatigued. Use extreme

caution while swimming between the shore and the product.
Do not attempt to swim this distance if you are tired or
fatigued.

• Always inspect the areas around and under the product before

each use to ensure the water is deep enough and free of all
rocks, logs, sand bars, and underwater obstructions and that
the product is a safe distance from above water hard objects.
Ask about local water conditions before using the product in
unfamiliar water.

• When not in use, secure the product against unauthorized or

unsupervised use.

• Inspect your product for any worn, defective, or missing parts.

• Do not attempt flips, somersaults or other acrobatic maneuvers

on the product. Most debilitating spinal cord injuries that occur
during trampoline use involve somersaults. Improper landing
during a somersault produces serious risk of broken bones,
cuts, nerve damage, spinal cord or brain injury, or death.

• Use the Aqua Attachments only under mature, knowledgeable

adult supervision.

• Not recommended for children under the age of six.

Inflating any RAVE Aqua Attachment

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 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. Replace cap on valve after
inflation to ensure air tight seal.

If you are using the RAVE Sports High Speed
Inflator (Part #01083), simply lock the adaptor
onto the end of the inflation hose and insert
into the valve body. Turn ¼ turn to lock in
place.

NOTE: This inflation adaptor will
automatically open the valve when inserted
and will close the valve when removed. You do not need to
manually open/close the valve when using this special adaptor.

If you will be using a shop vacuum or other
inflation device with a larger nozzle, use the 1-¼”
diameter coupler (included) between the valve
adaptor and the hose of your inflator. Make sure

the hose is attached to the blower port of
the vacuum for inflation. Insert the adapter
into the air valve and lock into place by
turning clockwise.

C A U T I O N

DO NOT USE AN AIR COMPRESSOR TO INFLATE ANY AQUA

!!

ATTACHMENT. USE OF AN AIR COMPRESSOR MAY CAUSE OVER­INFLATION, WHICH CAN DAMAGE OR RUPTURE SEAMS.

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. To avoid damage on extremely hot days it
may be necessary to check and release the air pressure from
your product throughout the day.

AQUA SLIDE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Aqua Slide™

Step 1

Lay the Slide cover on a flat surface. Make sure
there are no sharp objects under the product that
might puncture the tubes. Both tubes are identical.
Orient the tubes between the straps and the cover
with the tube seams facing upward. Insert so the
long leg of the tube is positioned in the long section
of the cover.

Step 2

Inflate both tubes approximately 50% full. Adjust
tubes so the seams of both tubes are face up and
the ends of the tubes line up with each other and
the cover. Alternate inflating each tube until fully

inflated. Check alignment of tubes and fit of cover
periodically during inflation. If tubes are not aligned
properly, release some air and move tubes to align.

When properly inflated and assembled, the tubes
on the underside of the Aqua Slide should be level
with each other and the cover should be straight
and taught as shown.

Step 3

Determine the preferred location for the Slide on the
Aqua Jump. Wrap the two straps around the inflated
tube near each inside corner of the desired panel
location. Properly positioned, both attachment straps

for the Slide will be on the same colored
panel and running parallel with each other
on the Aqua Jump tube.

IMPORTANT: Rotate the strap around the
tube until the buckle is located just
below the bar towards the inside of the
tube. Insert the end of the strap into the
