Step 3
Carry (DO NOT DRAG) the Shuttle and place in shallow water.
Step 4
Attach proper rated tow line/rope (not included) to the Shuttle
Towing Harness.
•
Feed tow line through the open forward hole of BOTH
nylon sliding rings. It is critical to tow with both rings
together. This will reduce friction on the Shuttle
harness rope and provide a smoother action of the
sliding rings. These rings MUST slide freely between
the two floats.
•
You can tie the tow line directly to the two sliding rings
as shown above
OR
You may choose to use an intermediary coupling rope
as shown at right.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT modify the Shuttle Tow Harness or prevent the movement of the sliding rings.
The sliding rings must have freedom of movement from side to side between the two sets of foam
floats. This ensures the towing forces are uniformly distributed throughout the Shuttle towing
components.
Preparation for first use
▪
The Super Shuttle must dock securely along the side of the moving Parasail Boat. Operators
should determine in advance which side of their boat (Port or Starboard) will be used for
transferring passengers. Pretest without passengers to determine which boat cleats and
D-Ring locations on the Shuttle are best suited for docking the Shuttle to the Parasail boat.
IMPORTANT: The forward-most D-Ring must always be used to secure the Shuttle to the
parasail boat. Determine which of the rearward D-Rings best aligns with a cleat on the boat.
See diagram on following page for optimum orientation and D-ring selection.
▪
Attach docking lines (approx. 5ft long) to the appropriate D-Ring locations on the Shuttle
that correspond to the cleats on the parasail boat.
