Setup Procedures

S E T U P I N S T R U C T I O N S A. B. C. D. D. E. A. Place and line up the unit. Unroll the blower tubes and the unit. B. Unfold the sides and straighten them out. C. Stake the inflatable D. Close the opening of one of the bower tube. E. Plug the fan power cord and slide the blower opening into the tube.

Setup Procedures Place your ground cover sheet over the site where you want the inflatable to stand. a. If your game consists of 2 units which are setup in a line, place and adjust the two units so that they open up against each other. Unknot the straps and remove them. Place them aside so you do not lose them. Make sure that the attachment velcros line up on the 2 units. If your game consists of 3 or more pieces which line up side by side, place and adjust the units next to each other such as the visual in the appendix. Unknot the straps and remove them. Place them aside so you do not lose them. Make sure that the attachment velcros line up on all units. Locate the blower tubes on each unit. At least one of the tubes per unit must be attached to the motor blower; any extra tubes should be closed off. Pleat and fold the vinyl fabric as tight as you can. Then use the attached strap to secure it shut. This does not have to be airtight. Escaping air is what makes your unit bouncy. Some larger units might require 2 or more motor blowers. Refer to the appendix to find out the required number of blowers. Check around the unit for any deflation zippers and make sure they are closed and secured by their flap. Plug the fan power cord into the extension. Make sure the extension cord is away from foot traffic. Slide the blower opening into the tube. Then pleat and fold the extra fabric around the blower to secure and wrap the strap around the blower and tighten. Make sure to gather all the fabric in the strap, especially around the bottom. Tighten the strap using the self-locking clip which is attached to the strap. Plug the extension cord into the power source. Locate the on/off switch on the fan and turn it on. Make sure the extension cord is away from foot traffic. Observe the inflation of the inflatable as it rises. If your game is a multi piece unit, after it has been inflated, move the pieces so that the velcro attachments line up to each other, then deflate the units. Once units are deflated, connect the velcro attachment points. If the units are placed next to each other correctly, one side should have two flaps with velcro on the inner sides of the flaps while the corresponding unit has one flap with velcro on the two outer sides. Place the two-sided velcro flap between the two flaps of the corresponding unit and secure. Turn the motor blowers on and re-inflate the units. Locate all of the tie down straps on the bottom of the unit. (There should be at least one tide down strap on each corner and in some cases, one in between corners.) Extend the strap & drive the provided stakes through the ring at the end of the strap. Locate all upper tethers and use the provided straps to extend them to the ground. Stake these tethers down in an approximately 45 degree angle. Note: Always use the provided stakes. Do not replace these stakes with different stakes. If you lose them, contact Happy Jump to purchase replacements. Sand or water bags can be used instead of stakes, check the appendix for information about the number of bags to use. Before driving stakes, make sure they are not in the vicinity of utilities or irrigation. Before letting anyone on please do a quick inspection of the unit. When properly inflated, all inflated areas of the unit will be pressurized and firm. Make sure the extension cord is away from any foot traffic. Check the inflation tube to make sure it is properly attached to the blower fan. The inflation tube must be properly closed around the fan outlet cone to prevent large air leakage. Do not place fingers or hands into the intake or outlet when the fan is operating. Do not allow any children or adults in the rear of the ride or near the electric blower fan at any time. Make sure the operator understands all the rules and safety procedures.

Make two folds to the middle of the unit and walk around it. D. Fold the half folds and walk again. E. Start to roll, from the front of the unit. F. Slide the straps and tie with a tight slipknot.

For the Obstacle Course (2 units) do the following instructions for both of the units. Before Deflating Step 1: Before breaking down any game, inspect the games for any damages and repair as necessary. Remove all accessories that may be applicable to the game. This may include items such as harnesses, backing plates, bungee cords, etc…Be sure to use a quality broom and sweep the surface of the game free of any debris. Check to make sure that no sharp objects have fallen into the seams of the game, i.e. pens, the rolling up process. Also make sure the game is dry, if not please dry the game. Step 2: Buckle any plastic snaps to reduce the possibility of entanglement in the mesh. NOTE: If the unit has steps attached to it, we highly recommend removing the steps and rolling them separately. This is to ensure the life spam and quality of the steps. Deflating Step 3: Unplug the blower fan. As the game begins to deflate, go around and unhook the straps that secure the blower tube to the blower. Unhook the straps on the other blower tube to allow air to escape. Step 4: Pull out the stakes around the unit and pack them up. If the game is a multi unit piece, unhook the velcro attachments and proceed with the following steps for each individual piece. Step 5: Walk from front to back of the unit to move any remaining air towards the blower tubes. NOTE: For obstacle course, detach the velcro before starting the folding process. Folding Step 6: Fold in the base of the unit all the way around and walk around the unit to remove any air. Step 7: Now make two half folds to the middle and walk around to remove any air. Step 8: Fold in the half folds and again walk around removing any remaining air. You are now ready to roll! Rolling Step 9: Prior to rolling the game, make sure that there is no excessive air and the fold is firm. Start your roll from the front of the unit and roll it up like a sleeping bag. Keep pushing and flattening the roll as you go. You may also want to have someone walk on the roll in front of you. Step 10: At the end of the roll, the blower tubes must be on the outside. Slide the straps under the unit and then run the end of the straps through the rings on the other end of the straps, pull tight. Loop the end of the strap around and tie a tight slipknot. Standing the Game Step 11: Place the storage bag over the end of the game and work it down as far as you can. It is important that you work the bottom of the bag down to the top of the roll. Rotate the game 180 degrees and pull the bag over the top of the game/Tie the bag closed. Use a two wheel dolly to transport the blower and accessories back to the same area. Now you are ready to pack up and leave.

Complications

Incase of rain and/or lightening, have children exit the unit and turn off the motor. Fold the unit and cover it with the tarp as soon as possible to help keep it dry. When rain stops use towels to dry the inside of the unit, then resume play.

Power failure- If the fan motor stops, riders must immediately stop jumping and calmly exit the bouncer. Hold open the exit flap of the unit and guide the riders out. Overloading an electrical circuit is the most common cause of the fan stopping; reset the fuse panel, make sure the fan motor has a dedicated circuit.

Equipment Maintenance

Keeping your unit well maintained will ensure the unit a longer life. That is why we strongly recommend cleaning your inflatable unit before and after every rental. This can be a brief spot cleaning. This will give you the opportunity to inspect the unit for wear and/or tear damage. Check the underside as you fold and roll the unit for scuffs or tears. You should also give it a quick disinfecting spray so that it is ready for the next time.

Monthly

• Schedule a time once a month to set each unit up and go over it in detail. Check the underside for weak spots or scuffs and apply patches as needed.
• Blow the unit up, and deflate to check the roof. Spray an all-purpose cleaner and wipe it down.
• Spray disinfecting cleaner in the blower tube so that it can help keep the inside clean. Re-inflate the unit and work your way from one side of the entrance all the way around the unit. Spraying down and wiping as much of the unit as possible. You may want to bring a stepladder so that you can reach the higher sections. Climb inside the unit and do the same thing.

Cleaners

• Do not use chlorine based cleaners or bleach cleaners as it may damage the threads.
• Do not use bathroom cleaners.
• Do not use any cleaner that warns, “Do not use on soft vinyl”.
• Do not use any abrasive cleaners.
• Keep in mind that children are going to come into close contact, so be sure to use a cleaner that is non toxic and safe.

Always test a new cleaner on a scrap from your repair kit before putting it in your unit.

To repair tears up to 12″, use the “single patch method,” as follows:

• Cut an oval patch of proper material approximately 2″ larger than the tear.
• Clean the surface around the tear with a recommended solvent.
• Apply the proper glue to both the patch and the fabric around the tear.
• Let glue dry for 3 minutes.
• Press the glued sides together for 15 minutes, until the glue has dried.
• Begin inflation and check for leaks around the patch.

To repair a larger tear, use the “double patch method,” as follows:

• Cut the appropriate size patch as described above.
• Clean the interior surface around the tear, apply the glue, let dry and press together as described above.
• After the inside patch has dried for 15 minutes, apply another patch to the outside in exactly the same way.
• Begin inflation and check for leaks around the patched area.
