Step1: Find a flat level area (preferably a grassy area). Police the area you are going to set-up the moonbounce on for sticks, glass or anything else that may puncture the bounce. Place the bounce on the ground where you want the back of the unit to be. Un-hook the strap and place it some where it wont get lost. 

Step 2: Roll out the bounce.

Step 3: Un-fold the bounce until it is flat.

VERY IMPORTANT - Step 4: After bounce is opened fully, check to see if there are any Velcro Ports that need to be closed. Seal the Velcro port by making sure the Velcro port is flat and closed tightly. Some bounces have a small port or a zipper on the bottom of the bounce. Bounces with animal heads typically have a port on the back of the head that needs to be closed.  CAUTION: Bounce will not fully inflate if a port is open.

Step 5: Place inflation tube around nozzle of the blower.

Step 6: Wrap black strap around the outside of the inflation tube and feed the end of the strap through the metal teeth of the clip.

VERY IMPORTANT -Step 7: Pull strap until it is tight. If the strap is not tight enough it will separate from the blower and come off. It is very important to check the strap after the bounce is fully inflated to make sure it is still on the blower securely.

VERY IMPORTANT: Step 8: Fold the extra inflation port in half and wrap black strap around the outside of the extra inflation tube and feed the end of the strap through the metal teeth of the clip. Pull strap until it is tight. It is very important to check the strap after the bounce is fully inflated to make sure it is still on tightly.

Step 9: Hook-up 50' extension cord (DO NOT ADD ADDITIONAL CORDS)  to the blower and turn the blower switch on. The bounce will take few minutes to fully inflate. The blower needs to be turned on the entire time to keep the bounce inflated. 

Do not operate the bounce in winds over 30 miles an hour.

Step 10: After bounce is fully inflated, place the large stakes through the ring that is attached to each corner of the bounce by a short strap. Use heavy hammer to hit the stake into the ground. Make sure the stake is placed at an angle away from the bounce so the bounce does not rub against the stake. Hit the stake into the ground about half the length of the stake to insure the bounce will not move or slide around. Repeat this step on all four corners of the bounce.

SAFETY NOTICE

Step 11: Read load capacity label on the bounce. Do not exceed the load capacity of the bounce. We recommend 4 - 8 children depending age and size of the kids. Do not operate bounce without adult supervision. Moonbounces can be dangerous if left un-attended. Do not let children do flips or jump on one another. That is how accidents happen.  

Do Not Operate in Rain, Lightning, or High Winds.

Step 1: Remove stakes from corners of the bounce. Turn off the blower. Disconnect the inflation tube from the blower. Open all ports to allow air inside bounce to come out freely. Allow 10 - 15 minutes for the bounce to deflate. After bounce is on the ground step on the areas that still have air in them.

Step 2: Continue to step on bounce to get the air out. Pull all of the sides into the middle of the bounce. You should be able to see the seam of the bottom of the bounce. The flatter you are able to make bounce, the easier it is to roll it up.

Step 3: Fold in steps and inflation tubes

Step 4: Starting from the right side of the bounce, fold the bounce approximately 1/2 of the width of the bounce to the middle of the bounce.

Step 5: Fold the left side of the bounce to the middle of the bounce.

Step 6: Fold the left side on top of the right side.

Step 7: Step on the bounce to flatten the bounce out and squeeze any remaining air in the bounce.

Step 8: Make sure that all ports, ropes, or hanging parts are tucked into the bounce.

Step 9: Starting at the front of the bounce, roll the bounce as tight as you can get it.

 Once you get started it rolls fairly easily.

Step 10: Once the bounce is completely rolled. Place the strap around the bounce, feed the end through the ratchet portion of the strap and pull it as hard as you can.

Step 11: Once the strap is as tight as you can get it. Start ratcheting the strap until the strap is tight. It is ok for the strap to pull in on the bounce. Do not over tighten the strap because it may cut the bounce or it will be very hard to undo later.
