Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to properly set up your inflatable decoration:

1. Choose a Location: Select a flat, clear area in your yard, free from sharp objects, debris, or overhead obstructions. Ensure the location is near a power outlet and protected from excessive wind.
2. Unpack and Unfold: Carefully remove the inflatable from its packaging. Unfold the fabric completely and lay it flat on the ground. Ensure the fan is facing upwards and not obstructed.
3. Position the Inflatable: Place the inflatable in its desired display position. The archway should be oriented as intended for viewing.
4. Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a grounded outdoor-rated electrical outlet. The inflatable will begin to self-inflate immediately.
5. Allow Full Inflation: Wait for the inflatable to fully expand. This may take a few minutes. Ensure all parts are upright and properly formed.
6. Secure the Inflatable:
   • Locate the tether points on the inflatable.
   • Attach the provided ropes to these tether points.
   • Extend the ropes outwards at an angle and secure them to the ground using the metal yard stakes. Push the stakes fully into the ground.
   • For the base of the inflatable, use the plastic stakes to secure the bottom loops or tabs to the ground.
   • Adjust the tension of the ropes to ensure the inflatable stands securely and is not leaning.

Operating Instructions

Operating your Gemmy inflatable is straightforward:

• Inflation: Once plugged into a power source, the internal fan will automatically activate, and the inflatable will begin to inflate. The Jack-o'-lantern head will light up with swirling lights as it inflates.
• Deflation: To deflate, simply unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. The inflatable will slowly deflate on its own.
• Nighttime Display: The integrated lights are designed for nighttime visibility, providing a festive and spooky effect.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity of your inflatable decoration:

• Cleaning: If the inflatable becomes dirty, wipe it gently with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the inflatable is completely dry before storing.
• Storage: After use, unplug and allow the inflatable to fully deflate. Carefully fold or roll the fabric to prevent creasing and damage. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and pests. Keep the original packaging for best storage.
• Inspection: Periodically check the fabric for tears, the fan for obstructions, and the power cord for any signs of wear or damage. Repair small tears with a patch kit (not included) or contact customer support for guidance.
