Short Term Storage -

 Allow to air dry, deflate and roll loosely.

Long Term Storage -

 Store your float tube dry and clean. After use, rinse off all debris and allow the tube to air dry on soft 

pressure and out of direct sunlight. Residual water inside the bladders/AIREcells will not damage the tube. Store in a cool, 
dry place out of sunlight and away from exhaust fumes. If you store your tube inflated you should be able to pinch an inch of 
material.  

To avoid excessive wear and extend the life of this float we recommend transporting this craft in a Outcast Sporting Gear boat 
bag or cover with clean, dry tarp. Do not load other equipment, particularly heavy or sharp objects, on top of the craft. If you 
transport your boat in an open truck bed please make sure all sharp objects are removed because more boats are damaged in 
transport than on the water.

Valve caps should always be in place whenever transporting an inflated boat.

Your float tube is constructed with high quality materials and superior workmanship however, as with all outdoor equipment 
proper cleaning and maintenance will extend the use of the product and allow it to perform better. Most damaging to your 
inflatable tube are extended UV exposure, insect repellents, mold and mildew. 

To keep your float tube performing at its best, please following these simple instructions.
•  Do not set your boat on sharp objects.
•  Do not over inflate your boat.
•  Keep the zippers clean.
•  Clean the boat with soap and water.
•  Allow the boat to dry before rolling.
•  Close the lid on fish attractants when in float tube pockets as they can cause damage to the AIREcell.

The D-Rings on the bottom of the float tube are for backpack straps only.
