FEATURES
SET UP
1. Slide ALL THREE fins into the rocket base until they are tightly attached. If all fins are not attached, the rocket will not fly straight.
2. Insert the inflate valve into the rocket’s opening and inflate the rocket in
one of these ways:
a) Insert the pump hose into the inflate valve and pump until the rocket is
fully inflated.
b) Blow into the inflate valve until the rocket is fully inflated. Remove the
inflate valve from the rocket when it feels firm. DO NOT over-pump as it may
damage the rocket.
3. Place the balancing ring over the tip of the rocket in the area indicated on the rocket. The balancing ring will allow the rocket to gently float back to ground during landing.
4. Insert the fully inflated rocket into the rocket base until the on the label and the edge of the rocket base are aligned as shown. Do not line the side seams of the rocket to the safety valves as this may prevent the rocket from launching.
5. Snap the leg into the launch base. You will hear a “click” when it is firmly installed.
6. Place the launch base on a level surface, in an open, grassy area. Slide the stake through the opening to secure the base to the ground. This is where you will launch the rocket from. If launching from a hard, level surface, the stake is not needed.
7. Align the connectors on the bottom of the rocket base to the launch base, and snap it into place. When correctly connected, a pin will pop up on the lock indicator.
8. After attaching the rocket, turn the base level knob to level the base and rocket. The rocket is level when the metal ball rests at the center of the circle.
TO PLAY
1. Unscrew the tank cap and fill the water tank to the top with clean tap water, then screw the cap back on and turn counterclockwise to lock the cap.
2. Connect the pump hose to the tank cap. Slide the hose ring over the
connected hose and turn clockwise to lock the hose to the tank cap.
NOTE : Adult assistance recommended.
3. Fold-down pump support stand. Step firmly on it and start pumping!
4. It should take 80 to 100 pumps to fully pressurize the water in the rocket. At optimal pressure the gauge will be at 100. Gauge readings above or below 100 may result in shorter launch heights.
5. TO LAUNCH : Hold the bulb launcher as far away from the rocket as the
pump hose allows and give it a quick and hard squeeze. If the rocket does not
launch immediately, allow the bulb launcher to regain its original shape,
then try again.
NOTE : Rocket will not launch unless the metal ball rests at the center
of the circle.

STORAGE
Wipe the rocket base and launch base clean with a towel. Remove the inflatable
rocket from the rocket base. Insert the deflate valve, or a drinking straw,
into the opening and press down on the opposite end of the rocket to squeeze
all the air out.
NOTE : Store the rocket indoors, away from direct sunlight.
PERFORMANCE TIPS
Q: What should I do if my rocket does not launch?
A: You should turn the water tank cap clockwise to release the pressure, then
check the following:
• Check the rocket to make sure it is fully inflated.
• Make sure the side seams of the rocket are not directly aligned to the
safety valves as this may prevent the rocket from launching.
• Check the lock indicator to make sure the rocket and launch base are
correctly attached.
• Make sure the metal ball rests at the center of the circle.
Q: What can I do if my inflatable rocket seems to be leaking air?
A: If you find breakage and leaks on your inflatable rocket, use the repair
patch included with the toy to repair the leakage. Simply peel off the adhesive
backing and cover the leakage. Read the instructions on the repair patch for
more details. Larger tears can be repaired with the careful application of
standard 2-inch wide clear packing tape.
Q: Why can’t I “over-pump” the rocket?
A: The rocket is equipped with a pressure-release system that will allow for a
maximum pump pressure for the best launch, but it will reduce pressure if it
is pumped beyond the maximum amount necessary.
