Sliding down Extreme Turbo Chute
Before sliding, wet the slide surface and the underside of turbo sled
with water. Sliding on a dry surface can cause burns to the skin or will
result in poor slide performance. Use a garden hose or water pumped
directly from lake to provide constant flow of water. To enhance
speed and performance, throw a bucket of water onto the slide just as
the person is beginning to slide.
Slide on stomach, facing forward using the Turbo Sled. ALWAYS
BEGIN SLIDING ON INFLATABLE START RAMPS. NEVER DIVE
HEAD FIRST ONTO THIS SLIDE. Diving Head first may result in
serious injury, including paralysis. DO NOT STAND, KNEEL,
CROUCH OR ATTEMPT TO USE SLIDE WITHOUT TURBO SLED.
Ensure slide and/or water (if using in a lake) at the end of the Extreme
Turbo Chute are clear of obstructions and other people before going
down slide.
NOTE: Sliding performance on any slope can be enhanced with the
following techniques:
1.
Increase the volume of water being applied at the top of the slide.
2.
Use environmentally friendly liquid dish soap. Squirt soap onto
top of slide and bottom of sled periodically as needed.
3.
Apply car wax to surface of dry slide. Hand buff excess wax to
create a slick surface.
