Setup Instructions

  1. Choose a Location: Select a flat, clear area for your inflatable. Ensure there are no sharp objects or debris that could puncture the material. Allow sufficient space for the inflatable to fully expand (approximately 90.16 inches L x 47.24 inches W x 107.87 inches H).
  2. Unpack: Carefully remove the inflatable and all accessories from the packaging.
  3. Position the Inflatable: Lay the inflatable flat on the ground in your desired display location. Ensure the fan is positioned correctly and its intake is clear of obstructions.
  4. Secure the Base: Use the provided plastic stakes to secure the base of the inflatable to the ground.
  5. Connect Power: Plug the inflatable's power cord into a suitable outdoor-rated electrical outlet. If using an extension cord, ensure it is rated for outdoor use and is weatherproof.
  6. Inflate: The inflatable will begin to self-inflate within seconds. Allow it to fully inflate and stand upright.
  7. Attach Tethers: Once fully inflated, locate the tether points on the inflatable. Attach the provided tethers to these points and secure them to the ground using the metal stakes at an angle to provide stability. Adjust tension as needed to keep the inflatable upright and stable.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning: To clean the inflatable, wipe it with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the inflatable is completely dry before storing.
