1. Lay out the Turtle Hop water bouncer on a flat surface. Make sure there are no
sharp objects that could damage or cause a puncture to the water bouncer.
2. Prior to inflation, check the water bouncer to ensure the jump surface is securely
on and tight.
3. There is a valve on the water bouncer that is used to inflate the bouncer. You can
use a shop vacuum or power inflater to inflate the bouncer and then top o with
the pump that is provided.
Fill the tube with air until firmly inflated. Check to be sure it is firm
before each use. If you don’t have a valve adapter you can still inflate your Turtle
Hop water bouncer by simply putting the nozzle of your shop vacuum to the open
valve and blow the air in. Once the tube is inflated, pull the nozzle away and quickly
close the valve. Use the foot pump with adapter that is provided to top o and keep
full and firm.
Air fluctuations are normal depending on outside air and water temperatures. In the
cool morning, your tube may look like it is going flat due to a leak when it actually
is soft due to the air temperature. TOP OFF WITH AIR WHEN NEEDED AND KEEP
TUBE FIRM WHEN IN USE.
4. Attach LADDER by snapping it to the D-rings in the anchor/handle area.
5. Be sure the plugs under the Turtle Hop water bouncer
are closed before using. If water accumulates under the
jump surface of the water bouncer, pull to the shore
and deflate. Then open the plugs to release the water.
