Moonbounce Set-up and Take-down
Instructions
How to Set-Up Bounce:
Important Note: Please use caution when lifting bounces, they weigh between 175 to 250
pounds depending on the size of the bounce. Do not attempt to lift with one person.
Step1: Find a flat level area (preferably a
grassy area). Make sure there are no overhead
electric power or telephone lines. Location
should be free from trees and unobstructed
area should be maintained for 5 feet around
the perimeter of the inflatable. 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 somewhere
it won’t 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 25
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.

How to Take Down a Bounce
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.
