Assembling your Spin Wheel™ Track
Inflation
Roll out and unfold the Spin Wheel on flat ground. Make sure the area is free of rocks, sticks or other sharp objects that could puncture or damage the product.
We highly recommend using the RAVE High-Speed Inflator/Deflator. It will provide rapid inflation and deflation. (Item #01083, not included)
To lock the open valve, depress the stem and rotate ¼ turn clockwise. To close the valve, depress the stem and rotate ¼ turn counter-clockwise. The valve stem should be in the depressed position while inflating. Replace the cap on the valve after inflation to ensure an air-tight seal.
If you are using the RAVE Sports High-Speed Inflator (Item #01083), simply lock the adaptor onto the end of the inflation hose and insert into the valve body. Turn ¼ turn to lock in place.
NOTE: This inflation adaptor will automatically open the valve when inserted and will close the valve when removed. You do not need to manually open/close the valve when using this special adaptor.
USE the RAVE Air Compressor valve adaptor provided with the Spin Wheel to finish inflating Spin Wheel track to approx. 5 psi min – 8 psi Max. This will be rigid enough to support 15 users.
DO NOT INFLATE SPIN WHEEL TRACK Beyond 8PSI to avoid damage. Use PSI gauge to ensure correct air pressure.
To Deflate:
Rapid deflation can be achieved using the “deflate” side of the motor housing. Attach the hose to the deflate side of the motor housing and lock the valve adaptor into the valve.
Move to Water
Due to its size, use 5 or more people to carry the product to the water
CAUTION: To avoid the risk of puncture or damage to the product, DO NOT DRAG the product. Always carry it to the water. Float the Spin Wheel to the desired location for anchoring.
CAUTION! The surface of the Spin Wheel can become wet and slippery. Refrain from horseplay or other activity that could cause collisions and falls, resulting in injury.
WARNING: DROWNING HAZARD
NEVER ATTEMPT TO SWIM UNDER THE SPIN WHEEL. THE SPIN WHEEL IS A LARGE OBJECT ON THE WATER WITH NO PLACE TO COME UP FOR AIR IF YOU ARE BENEATH IT. |
The Spin Wheel is only designed to be attached to the RAVE Sports Bongo 13.
WARNING
Do not attempt to use the Spin Wheel Track without the Bongo 13 securely attached in the center. |
Attaching to Bongo 13
Note: Do all attachments in shallow water.
Step 1
Lift and slide the Bongo 13 over the Spin Wheel track and into the center. Make sure the blue panels of the Bongo13 are aligned with the spokes on Spin Wheel.
Step 2
Slide the straps that have the Velcro flaps in through the center opening of the Bongo13 jump surface loops. (As seen in Step 3)
Step 3
NOTE: One person will need to be underneath the Bongo 13 for this step.
Take the bottom strap and wrap it around the bottom of the tube and feed it through the stainless steel buckle. Pull down until it is tight. Tie a knot immediately adjacent to the buckle to prevent any possibility of slippage.
Step 4
When all the straps are tightly cinched down and tied off, fold the two flaps inward and velcro it together over buckles and straps.
Anchoring
There is one anchor attachment point at the center of the Spin Wheel. Attach anchor line to the lower ring on swivel.
Note: Do not use the anchor point on the Bongo 13. Attach anchor line only to this swivel for proper operation. The Spin Wheels is ready to use.
Remove all slack from the anchor line and secure to swivel. Make sure the swivel is free to rotate. We recommend the (RAVE Anchor Connector Kit #01024).
Folding Instructions
Step 1
Remove Bongo 13 from Spin Wheel Track while in shallow water.
Step 2
Carry the Spin Wheel Track to land and deflate it. Be extremely careful not to drag the product.
Step 3
Let the mat dry completely in the sun and then flip over and repeat for the other side. (Dry with a towel, if necessary, to ensure it is completely dry before folding). If there is algae build up, clean it off with a stiff bristle
brush to clean it off.
Step 4
Lay the Spin Wheel out and fold it according to the photos and diagrams provided here. Start by folding both sides to the center.
Step 4 continued: Then on the other end of the Spin Wheel fold it also to the width of the track until you reach the center.
Folding Spin Wheel step by step diagram
Start at one end and begin to roll until it all contained in one bundle. Take a strap and cinch it tightly around the center to keep the bundle contained.
Cleaning and Storage
- When the inflatable product is not being used, store it in a covered, shaded area. This will help protect it against ultraviolet (UV) rays and extend the life of the product.
- Clean the inflatable completely with mild soap and fresh water.
NEVER USE PETROLEUM-BASED PRODUCTS OR SOLVENTS FOR CLEANING. NEVER USE A POWER WASHER SINCE THE HIGH PRESSURE THE WATER JET WILL DAMAGE THE TUBE BEYOND REPAIR. - The product should be completely dry and remain dry while stored.
- Roll the product loosely and place in a container, preferably one that rodents can’t chew through.
- Secure against unauthorized or unsupervised use.
- Store in a cool, dry location. Do not store product directly on
the concrete surfaces. Place mothballs around stored inflatables to keep mice and insects away.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Important ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Rodents like muskrats may be attracted to the PVC vinyl of your product. When your product is on the water, maintaining full air pressure during periods of non-use will discourage them from chewing the vinyl. Another way to ease the problem of nuisance rodents is to remove the temptation by taking the product out of the water at night. You can also make the whole area unattractive to rodents by changing the environment, making the area less hospitable for rodents. Removing any food source from the shoreline can also be a good deterrent. Check with your local DNR for additional guidance or possible restrictions.

- Deflate the product and clean the patch and area around the hole with rubbing alcohol. Let dry completely.
- READ AND UNDERSTAND THE WARNINGS ON THE GLUE CONTAINER.
- Apply glue to the patch and the area around the hole. Let the glue dry until it is tacky to the touch. (About 30 seconds).
