2. Safety Information

• Electrical Safety: Ensure the power cord and adapter are protected from damage. Do not operate if the cord is frayed or damaged. Always plug into a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlet for outdoor use.
• Weather Conditions: Do not operate in strong winds, heavy rain, or snow. Secure the inflatable properly to prevent it from blowing away.
• Placement: Place the inflatable on a flat, stable surface, clear of sharp objects, heat sources, and open flames. Ensure adequate clearance from walls, fences, and other obstructions.
• Children and Pets: Keep children and pets away from the inflatable during inflation and operation to prevent entanglement or damage.
• Ventilation: Ensure the blower intake is not blocked to allow for proper inflation and prevent overheating.
• Disassembly: Always unplug the unit before attempting to move, clean, or store it.

4. Setup Instructions

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the inflatable and all accessories from the packaging.
2. Placement: Choose a flat, level area in your yard or desired location. Ensure the area is free of debris, sharp objects, and any overhead obstructions.
3. Unfold: Lay the inflatable flat on the ground, ensuring the air intake on the blower is clear and facing away from any obstructions.
4. Secure: Locate the tether points on the inflatable. Attach the tethers to these points. Use the provided stakes to anchor the tethers to the ground, pulling them taut to stabilize the inflatable. Additional stakes may be used at the base of the inflatable for extra stability.
5. Connect Fog Hose (Optional): If using a fog machine (sold separately), connect one end of the 6ft fog hose to the designated port on the inflatable and the other end to your fog machine. Ensure a secure connection to prevent fog leakage.
6. Power On: Plug the power adapter into a suitable outdoor GFCI outlet. The inflatable will begin to self-inflate within seconds.
7. Adjust: Once fully inflated, adjust the tethers and stakes as needed to ensure the inflatable stands upright and is stable.

5. Operating Instructions

• Inflation: The inflatable will automatically inflate when plugged into a power source. Ensure the zipper on the inflatable is fully closed for proper inflation.
• Lighting: The internal LED lights will illuminate automatically when the unit is powered on, providing a glowing effect.
• Fog Effect (with separate fog machine): If you have connected a fog machine via the included fog hose, operate your fog machine according to its own instructions to create the desired fog effect through the inflatable.
• Deflation: To deflate the inflatable, simply unplug it from the power source. The air will slowly escape, and the unit will collapse.

• Cleaning: To clean the inflatable, wipe it with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the unit is completely dry before storing.
• Storage: After use, ensure the inflatable is completely deflated and dry. Fold it neatly and store it in its original packaging or a suitable storage bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the inflatable, power cord, and blower for any signs of wear, tears, or damage. If damage is found, discontinue use and contact customer support.

7. Troubleshooting

• Inflatable not inflating:
  • Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet.
  • Ensure the zipper on the inflatable is fully closed.
  • Verify that the air blower intake is not blocked by fabric or debris.
  • Check for any tears or holes in the fabric that might be causing air leakage.
• Lights not working:
  • Ensure the unit is powered on.
