Proper anchoring is essential to the safety and performance of this product. Use of
professional anchoring services recommended. If improperly anchored, product can move

anchoring.
Open Water:
(General guidelines - not intended to replace need for professional installation)
1. Place product in an area protected from wind and boat traffic. Confirm allowances for
stated minimum water depth, safe distance away from hard objects and vertical clearance
requirements.
2. Consider prevailing conditions such as wind, waves and other environmental factors in
positioning this item. Inflatable items can be unstable in strong winds. Slide faces are best
positioned toward a breeze, not across it. Check water and seabed for sharp or dangerous
objects.
3. Keep product a safe distance from docks, boats, boat lifts, and any other structures. To
prevent potential damage to product, injury or death, NEVER tie the product to a dock.
4. Use one vertical mooring line to attach to center swivel of 4-way mooring bridle with an
appropriate weight anchor, ground screw, or earth anchor at base. Secure swivel / mooring
connection so they cannot loosen or become separated during rough weather. When
Ricochet bouncer (including slide, log and launch bag) is the primary feature, it is typical
to anchor only the bouncer. If other main features are added to build a mini-park, multiple
anchors should be used. See Aquaglide.com for mooring advice and frequent questions.
5. Anchor weight recommendations based on average conditions. Sites with potential for
extreme weather, strong tides, currents, winds and/ or swell should consider using up to
50% additional weight or holding power.
6. Install anchors and mooring lines before inflating this product.
Commercial Pool:
1. Product placement in commercial pool should be checked carefully in advance to confirm
allowances for the stated minimum water depth, safe distance away from hard objects
(pool edge) and vertical clearance requirements. Most residential pools cannot meet these
requirements.
2. Pool moorings typically use a minimum of 4 horizontal mooring lines made from heavy
duty elastic. Additional horizontal moorings should be added to increase stability and as
necessary for larger product groups.
3. Horizontal Moorings are usually attached to pool anchor eyes, such as those used to
secure lane buoy lines. Adjust mooring lines to keep product(s) under tension at all times.
