SET UP

1. Start from the back, and roll out to the front.

4. Connect power and make sure there is no trip hazards. Use grass mats, cable covers, secure them with tape or hide them to avoid trip hazards.
5. Inflate. Keep watch to make sure the inflatable does not catch onto anything on the way up. On windy days, you may need to anchor a few points first before inflating.
6. Anchor with metal stakes or sandbags. Make sure to avoid reticulation. NOTE: if set up is on grass, always ask the customer where the reticulation pipes are.

TAKEDOWN

3. Unzip, untie blower tubes and velcro
4. Pull all walls towards the middle. Start with the sides, then finish off with the back.
5. Remove stakes or sandbags.
6. Remove as much air as you can by stepping on it. 
7. Fold in 3 OR 4 sections. The less folds, the taller the unit will be when rolled up. More folds, will result in short and stumpy. Sometimes you can do 3.5 folds etc.. Goal here is to make sure it fits inside your vehicle afterwards.
8. Keep stepping to remove air, or fold in half and keep stepping on it.
9. Start rolling. Keep it tight at all times and make sure edges are straight. If its not straight, it will be hard to stand up when its rolled up.
10. Once rolled, tie it up using the straps provided.
