Double Lane Slide
Product Dimension:
27’0”L x 19’6”W x 18’0”H – 575 lbs
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Select the area in which the inflatable will be inflated. The following ground locations
are good for setting up the jumper: medium dense coarse sands, sandy gravels, very stiff
silts, and clays. Select an area which is at least 6’ larger than the inflatable’s base so you
will have a 3’ clearance on all sides. Before setting up the inflatable, check and make
sure to have at least a 15’ clearance from overhead telephone wires, or any other utility
wires, etc. Also, check the area for any ground obstructions such as protruding
sprinklers, underground pipes, etc. Make certain that you pick a level area to set the
inflatable on and not one that’s hilly or slanted. Place the unit in the middle of the
selected area. Always use the tarp, set the tarp down first and place the jump on it. Untie
straps and unroll.
Connect tube (choose the one closest to the electricity source) to the blower. If there is
more than one air tube, twist the vent of the other tube/s several times, fold it over, and
secure it with a strap. Check all tubes for snugness to make certain that no air is escaping
and re-tie and re-connect, if necessary. Also, check the air intake on the side of the
motor/blower for blockage. Make sure to always use a 1 hp blower with a minimum of
700 and a maximum of 900 CFM.
When using an extension cord, choose a 50’ 12 gauge exterior UL-approved cord to
accommodate longer distances to the electricity source. Always plug motor/blower into a
115V outlet 20 amp circuits (usually found in kitchens and laundry rooms) and inflate the
unit.

After the unit is inflated, check with the customer if the placement of the inflatable is
satisfactory. If so, connect the 3/8” steel shackle found on the tie down straps of the ride
to the 330A Chance Anchor and drive the anchor into the ground at a minimum depth of
16” and at a 45° angle on all tie down straps and at all locations as provided by
manufacturer on the particular ride. The high-level tie-down straps should be anchored 3-
5 feet from ride. Remember to install the soil anchors at such distance from the jumper
that the jumper straps connected to the shackle and anchor would be taut.

Note: Please see attachment # 1
If the unit is on cement or any hard surface, to protect the base or the unit from abrasion,
make sure that you have put the tarp down and placed the unit on it before inflating it.
Use sand bag pouches that can carry a minimum of 30 lb. tension load per anchor point.
Connect the tie down straps to the sand bag pouches. Remember to install sand bags at
such distance from the ride that the ride straps connected to the shackle would be taut.
Sand Bags and each strap
must be able to carry a min

BLOWER INSTRUCTIONS
1. Applications:
The primary application for the blower is the pressurization of inflatable
interactive games and other types of inflatables requiring sustained high air
pressure.
2. Operation:
Place the blower in the desired area pointing towards the inflatable. Place the
blower on a stable surface. Attach the inflation tube around the exhaust opening
by means of a strap. Cinch the strap tightly, being sure that it has gripped the
blower behind the raised portion of the exhaust, to assure the inflation tube is
correctly and solidly attached. Plug the cord into a grounded outlet or extension
cord that has been grounded through a GFCI. Turn on the singly speed switch.
3. Safety Information:
3.1. Do not use in standing water. Even though the blower may be described as
weather resistant, do not run blower when there is a chance of getting motor
and wiring wet or damp.
3.2. If blower gets wet, and water is inside blower, tip the blower to drain water
out of the drain holes. Once water is drained, allow blower to dry thoroughly
before resuming operation.
3.3. Keep children away from blower while plugged in and / or in operation.
3.4. Ensure that the power source is sufficient for the power requirements of the
blower.
3.5. Do not look into the discharge outlet of the blower. Foreign objects may
become dangerous projectiles.
3.6. This blower is to be operated only with the proper safety guards in place to
prevent persons and objects from contacting the revolving blower wheel.
Any other use voids the warranty and creates unsafe conditions.
3.7. Do not insert foreign objects or body parts into the blower. Do not block,
move, or tamper with the blower in any manner while it is in operation.
3.8. This blower must have backpressure to operate properly. In other words, an
inflatable must be attached to the blower prior to turning on the blower.
3.9. Do not position this blower where it can blow dust, dirt, or other objects at
people in the airflow pattern.
3.10. This blower is intended for inflating (pressurizing) inflatable objects.
Operating the blower for other than this prescribed use will void warranties
and can cause other unsafe conditions.
3.11. Do not use the blower in potentially dangerous locations such as
inflammable, explosive, chemical laden environments.
3.12. To avoid possibilities of damage to blower or problems with operation,
place the blower on a smooth and level surface.

4
3.13. Never operate the blower without safety guards in place. If guards are
removed for servicing, then they must be replaced to the proper position
before operation of the blower.
3.14. Inspect the unit carefully before each use. If the unit appears to have
damage, repair or replace before use.
WARNING: When restarting the fan following a power outage, be sure that the
inflatable does not cause the fan to spin backwards. The blower will not properly
inflate the ride if the fan is spinning backwards.
4. Electrical Safety:
4.1. Ensure that the power supply exceeds the requirements of the blower for safe
operation.
4.2. The power cord is equipped with a three-prong plug that must be inserted into
a matching receptacle. Do not remove or cut off the ground prong off the
plug.
WARNING: Use of a three prong to two prong adapter is not recommended.
Improper connection may create the risk of electrocution.
5. Extension Cords:
5.1. Use the shortest possible length. When extension cords are used, ensure that
they are UL listed for outdoor use and of the proper gauge and length. Cords
up to 50 ft. in length should be no smaller than 14-3. Cords that are up to 100
ft. in length should be no smaller than 12-3.
5.2. Do not kink cords or allow contact of oil, grease, moisture, chemicals, hot
surfaces, or sharp and abrasive objects. Replace worn or damaged cords.
5.3. Unplug the power cord before cleaning or servicing.
WARNING: Do not depend on any switch or other controlling device as the only
means of disconnecting power when installing or servicing the blower. Always
unplug the power cord. Failure to do so may result in electric shock. This could
be fatal.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
1. No riders should be allowed on a partially inflated unit.
2. All Inflatables should be securely anchored and fully inflated before any riders are
allowed to enter.
3. Maximum number or riders of each group that should play in the unit at one time
is 2 riders or a Maximum Weight of 500 lbs; Rider height requirements:
Minimum Height – 42”; Maximum Height – 72”
4. Under no circumstances is climbing on the exterior of the inflatable allowed.
5. Adult supervision is required at all times while the inflatable is in use. Minimum
required operator/attendant: one (1).
6. The blanket should be used on all sides at all times.
7. Do not install inflatables near a pool.
8. Caution should be exercised when lifting and handling the equipment.
9. All extension cords and straps should be placed in such a manner that no one can
trip on them. Also, no electrical cords should run through puddles or near a pool.
10. Never remove the ground pin from the cord. Use an adapter.
EMERGENCY EVACUATION PROCEDURE
The Attendant, before operating the ride, must familiarize himself with the ride’s
entrance/exit as well as escape hatches. In the unforeseeable event that power is
interrupted and the ride begins to lose air, the Attendant should guide all the riders to
calmly and orderly leave the ride via the entrance/exit.
All rides that have permanent roofs feature Escape Hatches on the roof. The
Attendant may choose to have the riders exit the ride through these easily accessible
escape hatches. All rides, such as The Challenge, that do not have roofs offer the
Attendant the alternative of allowing the riders to exit the ride through the wide
openings around the unit.
If the Attendant determines the weather conditions warrant closing down the ride or
in the event of a power failure, the following procedure shall be observed:
1. Stop riders from entering the device, including parents.
2. Riders in the bouncer shall be told to leave through the entrance in an orderly
manner, as rushing may intimidate smaller and more timid riders.
3. Riders on the lower section of the climb shall be advised to climb back down and
exit through the obstacles portion.
4. Riders on the upper part of the climb and the slide itself shall be instructed to
proceed to the slide and exit the normal way. Apply the normal slide rules of one
person on the slide at a time.
5. It takes close to two minutes before the slide starts to sag noticeably and, even
then, a rider may safely slide down and exit. Evacuation time is 30-45 seconds.

REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE
To repair holes and tears up to 12”, use “Single Patch Method,” utilizing the patch kit
provided with each unit as follows: (1) Cut an oval or round shape vinyl patch,
approximately 2” larger than the cut; (2) Clean around the torn area; (3) Apply glue
on the patch and around the torn area; (4) Let it dry for 3 minutes; (5) Place the
patch covering the damaged area and press with your palm for 1 minute. In
approximately 15 minutes, the glue should dry and the unit will be ready to be
inflated.
For larger tears, you can use the “Double Patch Method,” as follows: (1) Put a patch
inside the torn area by applying glue and pressing to the inside surface of the torn
area; (2) After this is done, apply another patch to the outside surface of the torn area
following the above-mentioned steps.
It is a good practice to clean the inflatables after each use. It is easier to clean the
units in an inflated position by using dishwashing detergent and rags for general
clean-up. To remove chewing gum, grease, adhesives, etc., use “Goof Off” and for
mildew use “X-14.” To reach high spots, untie the vent tube so unit gets soft and pull
down from the sides.
WARNING: To clean printed areas of rides, never use any solvents or other type of
cleaners except plain soap and water.
Make sure the unit is dry before rolling up and storing.
“Lemon Pledge” can be used for protection. All inflatables should be cleaned and
dried every time they are exposed to rain to avoid mildew and unpleasant odors. If
water has been accumulated inside the mattress and other inaccessible areas, the unit
should be inflated outdoors and tilted to a 45 degree angle for as long as needed to
drain all the water out.
A unit usually dries in about 2 hours.
