OVERVIEW

30 FT. RETRO OBSTACLE COURSE – OVERVIEW

OPERATORS/ATTENDANTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PATRON’S SAFETY, AT ALL TIMES!

SAFETY CHECKLIST

SET-UP STEP 1. (SAFETY CHECK LIST)

WARNING: Inflatables are very heavy do not attempt to roll or move these games by yourself
Do not inflate in high winds or rain— High winds are considered to be 15 mph or higher
Inspect the site, and look for overhead and underground obstructions— such as utilities
Call your local utility to have utility lines marked (call 3–5 days ahead)— call811.com is a good resource— ‘click’ 811 in Your State
Use an adequate three-wire extension cord, min. 12 gauge for 50ft. maximum length—never cut or remove the round grounding pin from the cord

GFCI extension required

(reduces the possibility of shock)
GFCI= Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
A GFCI extension cord adapter can be purchased at most Do-It-Yourself type stores
Use an adequate three-wire extension cord, min. 12 gauge for 50ft. maximum length
Check GFI at least once per event
Always connect a GFCI extension cord adapter to any extension cord before plugging into a power source— this reduces the possibility of shock in wet environments
Check the GFCI operation at least once per event
Before taking the unit into the ground, obtain marking and location information from the utility companies if there is a possibility of striking underground utilities
Remove all occupants if the wind becomes excessive—deflate the unit, if the wind continues
Important, the operator/attendant is responsible for the safety of those using the inflatable amusement device

SET-UP STEP 2. (SITE ASSESSMENT)

Pick a location free from overhead utility lines, trees, roads, sidewalks, bodies of water, and cliffs—or any hazard
Any nearby obstruction should be at least 20 feet away from the inflatable
Spread tarps (sold separately) on the slide/bounce house location, to protect unit
Locate the blower and power cord in an area that is not in a direct walkway—be sure the blower is on a flat and dry surface
A minimum of 2 installers recommended

Recommended Tools and Equipment:

sledgehammer, ground tarp, hand truck or 4-wheel dolly, crowbar/stake remover safety goggles, GFCI extension adapter, 50´ 12AWG extension cord

SET-UP STEP 3. (UNROLL AND POSITIONING)

Carefully place the unit, using a dolly, at one end of tarp—it’s easier to move at this stage!
See (drawing), ﬁnd back end of inﬂatable device and roll onto the tarp
(Make a mental note or snap a picture of how the inﬂatable is folded and positioned as you unroll the game. This will be beneﬁcial when you re-roll the device later)
Check location, and make any adjustments before inﬂation—unfold the device completely
Start the staking process— place stakes through the inﬂatable anchor straps, all around the inﬂatable amusement device—see (pg. 3) for proper staking

SET-UP STEP 4. (INFLATION TUBES)

Plug the blower power cord into the GFCI extension, then plug the GFCI extension into the extension cord—connect the fan cone to the inﬂation tube
Close oﬀ the unused inﬂation tube(s)
Plug the extension cord into the power source
Check the inﬂation tube to make sure it is properly attached to the blower fan—the inﬂation tube must be properly closed around the blower outlet chute for maximum inﬂation during use
Close all zipper vents (if applicable)
Note: AIR ESCAPING FROM SEAMS is normal, during the operation of the unit—it keeps the unit inﬂated, but not ﬁlled (air should be escaping during use)

SET-UP STEP 5. (PROPER STAKING)

Locate the on/oﬀ switch (if applicable) on the blower and turn it on—observe the inﬂation of the inﬂatable as it rises
When inﬂation is almost ﬁnished, check the positioning of the stakes—hammer them in— see (step 5)
Note: For medium soil conditions, larger stakes will increase pullout capacity*
When properly inﬂated, all inﬂated areas of the game will become pressurized and ﬁrm
Once inﬂated, check for any rips, holes, or damage—‘walk around during use
Important: Keep the blower on, continuously, for the duration of your event— to maintain proper inﬂation

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The following instructions must be read and adhered to by all operators/attendants regarding this inﬂatable device.
Trained attendants should be positioned at the entrance and exit of device

People with medical conditions or severe disabilities should not use this Inﬂatable amusement device.
Attendants should make sure that no one enters the inﬂatable device with shoes on, eyeglasses, or sharp objects in their hair or on clothing
Attendants should observe patrons at all times while they are in the inﬂatable.
Attendants should be close enough to be able to warn against ﬂips, piling on, wrestling, bouncing against the side, grabbing net, or bouncing too close to each other—attendant should ask anyone doing these things, after being warned, to leave the inﬂatable device immediately.
Whistle use is required for attendants.
No running to enter the inﬂatable device.
The attendant should point out and make customers aware of the posted warning sign on the front or side of the inﬂatable.
Attendants should watch for any signs of deﬂation such as sagging, wrinkling, or distortion—if observed, the attendant should ask the people in the inﬂatable to evacuate, calmly and safely.
Attendants should keep all spectators outside the inﬂatable amusement device and at least 5 feet away from the sides.
The starting line is 48 inches from the entry of the inﬂatable amusement device.
Prohibit excessive rough play by occupants—blow whistle
In times of excessive heat monitor the heat inside the play area and slide surface
Do not allow any individual in the rear of the game or near the electric blower at any time
Deny entry if any patron poses a risk to others— or, if they consumed alcohol or illicit drugs
15mph wind equals; dust and loose paper rising and movement of small branches—Hazardous winds; small trees sway and large branches are in motion
Check the blower/inﬂation tube regularly to ensure there isn’t any excessive leakage
Check stakes regularly
Keep airborne trash/leaves clear of blower intake

DEFLATION AND FOLDING

Before deﬂation, remove all accessories that may be applicable to your unit—also 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, Eg. pens, pencils, etc.—items such as these can cause damage to the inﬂatable during the rolling up process
Before deﬂating; Inspect for any damage and repair as necessary
Clean inﬂatable amusement device(s) and dry, after use—by running air through it
Unplug the blower at the power source
Loosen ﬁrst inﬂation/deﬂation tube strap and remove the tube from the blower cone—make sure the tube is pulled away from the inﬂatable and is straight
Loosen the second inﬂation/deﬂation tube strap and pull the tube away from the inﬂatable
Open all deﬂation ﬂaps
While the inﬂatable amusement device is deﬂating, remove stakes, put the blower fan away, and store extension cord(s)

Two people, minimum, needed to fold

Guide inﬂatable inward and to the front—while the air is being released.
Begin folding the inﬂatable amusement device—pull vertical peaks/shapes toward the front, to ﬂatten and release more air.
Next, situate the top of the unit over the bottom, pancake style—and fold peaks into the middle, see (drawing)
Once you make the folds, you will notice that air is still inside the game—start at the front and walk, in stocking feet, to the back—removing most of the air.
Work the air out towards the back of the unit through the inﬂation tube(s)
Commercial inﬂatables take 5–15 minutes to completely deﬂate

CLEANING THE INFLATABLE

Do not use M.E.K.(methyl ethyl ketone) to try and clean your inﬂatable, as this will damage the vinyl
Do not use a chlorine-based cleaner or bleach, as this may damage the threads
Do not use any cleaning products containing alcohol to try and clean your inﬂatable device, as this will damage any printing that may be on your inﬂatable
Use water and/or mild cleaner sparingly by sponging
Excessive water or cleaner may penetrate the seams and collect inside of the tubes—also, bubbling from the seams during operation may occur

FINAL FOLD AND ROLL

Fold both sides into the center of the inﬂatable—each person should place one foot on the inﬂatable at the fold line
Fold at the same time—walk down the game and straighten out the seam
Repeat this procedure for the other half of the game
The roll; make sure that at least one of the inﬂation tubes is extending—as you roll the unit up, air will escape and the inﬂatable device will roll much better
Important: Twist the beginning of the ‘roll’ very tight
Start your roll from the FRONT (opposite the inflation tube)
As you progress, be sure that the roll is straight and tight

SLIP KNOT (for rolled inflatable)

Near the end, allow time for the last bit of air to escape
Locate the tie strap—pull it to the top of the roll
We recommend you tie a tight slip knot around the roll
Stand the inflatable amusement device on end—place the transport/storage bag over one end of the game and work it down as far as you can

STORAGE BAG – (you’re done)

It is important that you work the bag down to the top of the roll—flip the unit and pull the bag up over the top of the inflatable amusement device
Tie the bag closed
Lay the game onto a dolly and roll it to your designated storage area
WARNING: Inflatables are very heavy.
Do not attempt to roll or move these games by yourself. When lifting any type of heavy weight, be sure to lift with your legs and not your back.
If in doubt about your ability to move something, get help.

MAINTENANCE And INSPECTION

Determine a cleaning and preventative maintenance schedule to keep this device functioning properly
The device can be easily cleaned with a cloth or light brush. Use a vinyl cleaner and rinse lightly, to remove detergent before storing.
DO NOT PACK THE INFLATABLE DEVICE WHEN WET. If it wasn’t dried properly, lay the unit out to dry at the earliest opportunity.
The unit should be inspected regularly for damage. If there is evidence of tearing at the anchor points or vinyl panels, the inflatable amusement device should not be used until the repair has been completed.

REPAIRS

Repairs made by anyone other than the original manufacturer shall be made using the same construction method—with comparable materials—unless the manufacturer agrees otherwise.
To repair small tears up to 12″ use the “Single Patch Method” as follows.
Cut an oval or round vinyl patch approximately 4″ larger than the cut.
Clean the area around the tear.
Apply SX-69 vinyl glue on the patch and the surface of the inflatable device.
Allow the manufacturer´s recommended drying time before applying the patch to the inflatable device as indicated on the label on the container.
Place the patch covering the cut area and apply pressure for 1 minute. Refer to the glue manufacturer´s label for the recommended time for the glue to dry once the patch is applied.
If the “Single Patch Method” is not a viable option use PatchALL* for a non-glue repair until you can apply the “Single Patch Method” or send the unit to a repair facility.

DAILY CHECKLIST

Ensure maximum winds are less than the manufacturer´s recommended wind speed requirement for a unit.
Ensure temperatures are greater than 40° F.
Ensure that a minimum 12 gauge 3-wire extension cord is used with the blower and is connected to a CFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter).
Ensure there are no obstructions in the blower(s), blower intake, and the unit´s inflation tubes.
Inspect the blower inflation tubes, they should be in good condition and firmly fixed to the blower.
