The answer
What to know.
The plastic around the white foam climbing rings protects them during shipping. Small indentations can happen in transit, but they do not affect how the rings work.
Remove the plastic before running your Dolphin's first cleaning cycle.
- Carefully cut off the plastic with scissors. Avoid cutting or damaging the foam rings. Leave the rings installed, they do not need to come off to remove the wrap.
- Let the rings soak in water for at least 20-30 minutes. Once saturated, they will return to their original shape.
