Usage of a quick release system (available as an option)
Towables or their pertinent towing ropes should be optionally equipped with a
quick release system. A quick release system means to release the towable
from the tow rope manually or automatically in case of an emergency by
triggering a release mechanism. The release mechanism should be in reach
of the rider/observer/boat driver. At towables of category C1 the application
of a quick release system for single riders is obligatory. The quick release
mechanism has to be positioned on towable (in case of use by children
below the age of 14 on towing boat).
NOTE :The user (rider) should not trigger the quick release for
interrupting a normal safe ride without urgent reasons. National
rules shall be considered additionally.
Signal devices
The watercraft shall be equipped with a towing streamer/flag in order to
advise other watercrafts that towing is occurring.
Maintaining and monitoring proper inflation
It is important to monitor the amount of air in your product as heat will cause
the bladder to expand, possibly damaging seams or I-beams. If you leave a
full tube sitting in the sun for any length of time it will expand. Either store it
in the shade or let some air out. Don't leave your product on the beach,
dock, or boat full of air! If the product is stored out of the sun in a cool place,
you may need to add some air. Check and adjust the inflation level each time
you use your product for maximum performance and enjoyment.
