Additional Information
Setting up a jumping castle, also known as an inflatable bounce house or inflatable jumper, requires careful preparation and attention to safety. Here's a general guide to help you set up a jumping castle:
1. Choose a Suitable Location:Select a flat and level area for setting up the jumping castle. Ensure there are no sharp objects, debris, or obstacles nearby that could pose a safety risk. The area should also have enough space around it for safe entry and exit.
2. Gather Equipment and Supplies:Collect all the necessary equipment and supplies, including the inflatable jumper, blower or air pump, ground stakes, and safety mats. Make sure the blower is in good working condition and the jumper is clean and dry.
3. Unroll and Spread the Jumper:Lay out the jumping castle on the designated area. Unroll it and spread it out evenly, making sure there are no wrinkles or folds that could affect the stability of the inflatable.
4. Secure the Jumper:Depending on the model, you may need to secure the jumping castle to the ground using ground stakes or sandbags. This prevents it from moving or tipping over while kids are playing inside.
5. Set Up the Blower:Place the blower at a safe distance from the jumping castle and attach it to the inflatable using the provided tubes. Turn on the blower and ensure it's properly inflating the jumper. The blower should run continuously while the jumper is in use.
6. Inflate the Jumper:As the blower fills the jumper with air, it will gradually inflate. Keep an eye on the jumper to ensure it's inflating evenly and all sections are fully inflated.
7. Secure the Entrances and Exits:Close all the entrances and exits of the jumping castle securely using the zippers or Velcro fasteners provided. This prevents kids from accidentally falling out while playing.
8. Check for Stability:Once the jumper is fully inflated, check for stability. It should be firm and taut, with no sagging or loose areas. Adjust the blower's air pressure if necessary to ensure the jumper is properly inflated.
9. Safety Mats and Supervision:Place safety mats around the entrances and exits of the jumping castle to provide a cushioned landing for kids. Assign responsible adults to supervise the children while they play to ensure their safety.
10. Usage Guidelines:Display clear usage guidelines and rules for safe play near the jumping castle. These rules may include the maximum number of children allowed inside, no shoes allowed, no rough play, and guidelines for different age groups.
11. Regular Inspections:Periodically inspect the jumping castle during use to ensure it remains fully inflated and safe. Address any issues promptly, such as adjusting the blower's air pressure if needed.
12. Proper Deflation and Storage:When the jumping castle is no longer in use, turn off the blower and allow the air to escape. Fold and roll the jumper carefully, following manufacturer's instructions, and place it in a clean and dry storage area.
