SETTING UP
1/ First locate the smoothest most level place in the garden or the area where it is to be erected. Bouncy Castles can be erected on bumpy ground but obviously the flatter the ground the better.
If it is going on a rough, dry, abrasive piece of land or concrete a groundsheet must be placed under the unit.
The same goes for dirty land. Do not set up on an oily surface. 


2/ To prevent any possible damage to your Bouncy Castle, always walk over the area first to check and remove any large stones, sticks or other items you may find.


3/ Unroll and unfold, position as required, spread out each side as much as they will.


4/ Connect the blower to the long tube (inlet tube) at the back of the Bouncy castle and secure in place with velcro strap or rope.
