Christmas Time 8′ Santa in Snowman Hot Air Balloon with Lights
INSTALLATION AND SETUP
Please read the product setup instructions carefully. Do not operate this product in windy conditions.
❶ Find a flat area of either grass or gravel for your product. Do not set up
your inflatable on a slope. Doing so may prevent the inflatable from inflating
properly or standing correctly. It may also present a safety hazard. Be sure
that the area is clear of leaves, loose dirt and/or standing water as any of
these can stain the product or damage the fan.
❷ Carefully remove the inflatable and included items from the box. Set the
stakes, ropes and clips aside. You will need those after fully inflating your
inflatable for the first time.
❸ Lay your inflatable out on the ground. The fan will be on the back side of
the inflatable. Ensure that the deflation zipper on the back of the inflatable
is closed. Plug the fan into a Class A GFCI-protected receptacle to start
inflating your inflatable.
For your first inflation, you will need to help your inflatable inflate
properly. Ensure that all of the extremities are positioned correctly,
untwisting anything that may have become tangled during unpacking and setup.
For taller inflatables, you will want to connect the tie downs to the upper
fabric (or metal) loops before you fully inflate. Otherwise, the loops may be
too high to reach.
❹ When fully inflated, locate all of the tie-down points around the base.
Place a stake through the loop and press the stake about 2/3 of the way into
the ground (you will insert these fully later). These stakes help hold the
inflatable upright and prevent the wind from moving your inflatable.
Note: If your inflatable is taller than 10 feet, you will need assistance
to safely position and secure your inflatable.
❺ For inflatables under 9-feet tall, install at least three upper tie downs.
For inflatables over 10-feet tall, you will need to install four or more upper
tie downs, depending on the inflatable.
Attach each rope to a clip and attach the clip onto the upper fabric or metal
loops. (If clips are not included, tie each rope to directly to the loop.) Tie
the ropes to the additional ground stakes and secure the stakes about 2/3 of
the way into the ground (you will insert these fully later).
- To achieve a proper 45º Angle, Stake Distance (SD) = Loop Height (LH)
- For example, if the Loop Height (LH) is 6′, the stake should be placed 6′ away from the inflatable
❻ The angle of the rope to the ground should be 45 degrees (see diagram
above). To achieve a 45-degree angle, the stake distance (SD) from the
inflatable should be roughly equal to the loop height (LH) on the inflatable.
❼ To properly secure your inflatable, install the upper tie downs according to the above graphic. Note that two of the side tie downs must angle forward by at least 30 degrees. Adjust stakes as needed to assure that the inflatable is fully upright and positioned correctly. When the inflatable is correctly positioned and all stakes have been placed, push all of the stakes fully into the ground.
