Inflate the smaller push-in valves first and the large, (Lightning) valve last. To inflate your tube, use any high volume, low-pressure inflator. Your O’Brien dealer can direct you to the O’Brien 12-volt inflator or any of the many foot pumps or hand pumps that are available. The small rope and handle can be adjusted for the size of the rider. The long rope and handle is to be looped through the webbing loop at the nose of the tube and held by an adult. (DO NOT TIE TO THE BOAT)

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.

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 following steps:

Clean the area around the hole to remove any foreign matter. Mild detergent should suffice.
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.
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.
Position the patch over the hole and press down firmly on a flat surface. Remove any trapped air by rubbing the patch from the center outward.
Wait 24 hours to reinflate your tube.
