Dunk Tank Operation

Instructions for Safe Operation of the Dunk Tank

Dunk Tank Safety Rules

Before you start

  • Review all rules/instructions on the tank.
  • If you have questions before use, contact New Castle Party Rentals.
  • Fill the tank to the top, or at least to 8 inches from the top.
  • Adult supervision is required at all times.

One person at a time

  • Only one person may be on the seat or in the tank at a time.

Getting on the seat (critical)

  • Sit on the seat — never stand on the seat.
  • Before getting onto the seat, confirm the seat is securely locked in place.
  • Use any additional safety latches if present.
  • Enter the tank by climbing up at the back of the tank.
  • Use the handles to get onto the seat, but do not hold the handles while waiting to be dunked.

Target & throwing rules

  • Do not hit the target with your hand. Use only the balls provided.

Safe seated position

  • Once seated, move as far forward as comfortable to avoid the seat slapping into your back.
  • Lean forward slightly with hands on knees.
  • Never put hands under the seat.

After dunking

  • After being dunked, swim toward the front of the tank.
  • Stand up slowly to avoid hitting your head or shoulder on the seat.

Resetting & exiting

  • Reset the seat by carefully moving the target arm back into place and locking the seat.
  • Use the step to climb back onto the seat or out of the tank only after confirming the seat is locked.
  • Add water as needed during use.

Water safety

  • To prevent accidental drowning, never leave a water-filled tank unattended.

End of use

  • Drain water by turning the valve at the bottom of the tank ¼ turn counter-clockwise.
  • Do not attempt to move the dunk tank once it has been set up.
