3. Package Contents
Your Gemmy Animated Christmas Airblown Inflatable Santa's Outhouse package should include:
- 1 x Inflatable Santa's Outhouse Unit with integrated fan and lights
- Stakes for securing
- Tethers for securing
4. Setup Instructions
- Unpack: Carefully remove the inflatable from its packaging.
- Placement: Choose a flat, level surface for placement, free from sharp objects or debris that could puncture the material. Ensure there is enough space for the inflatable to fully expand (approximately 72 inches tall, 50 inches wide, 42 inches deep).
- Position: Unfold the inflatable and position it where you want it to stand. Ensure the air intake on the fan is clear of obstructions.
- Secure: Use the provided stakes to anchor the base of the inflatable to the ground. Attach the tethers to the designated loops on the inflatable and secure them to the ground with additional stakes, pulling taut to provide stability.
- Power On: Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet. The inflatable will begin to self-inflate within seconds.
- Adjust: Once fully inflated, adjust the position and tethers as needed to ensure it stands upright and stable.
5. Operating Instructions
Once plugged in, the internal fan will inflate the unit, and the integrated lights will illuminate. The animated feature, where Santa opens the outhouse door, will operate automatically. No further action is required for continuous operation.

- Deflation: To deflate, simply unplug the power cord. The inflatable will slowly deflate.
- Cleaning: Clean the surface with a damp cloth if necessary. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Ensure the inflatable is completely dry before folding and storing. Store in its original packaging or a suitable storage bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Inflatable does not inflate. | No power; fan obstructed; unit punctured. | Check power connection; clear fan intake; inspect for tears and repair if possible. |
| Santa's door does not open fully. | Obstruction; improper setup; low air pressure. | Ensure no objects are blocking the door mechanism; verify the inflatable is fully taut and stable; check for leaks. |
