Inflatables are durable playground equipment, but they still need to be maintained and used properly. By following these rules, you can ensure that you have a safe inflatable that will last for a long time!
Properly unpacking the inflatable
The maintenance of an inflatable begins as soon as it is unpacked. It is important to take it out of the storage bag properly. First, make sure you unpack your inflatable in a clean place and on a smooth surface. The area should be large enough to spread the entire inflatable out on the floor. Unpacking should be done gently, without forcing. This is also a good time to check that you have all the accessories you need to assemble your inflatable.
Setting up in the right conditions
To set up your inflatable, the conditions must be ideal. Do not place your inflatable on a wet floor or unprotected surface. Wind and rain will also cause serious damage. This will make it difficult to maintain later. Choose to set up your inflatable when the weather is good.
Use the repair kit
The thermoplastic used in the structure is very resistant to impact, friction and abrasion. However, during use, the structure may become damaged at the seams. To maintain it, you must use the repair kit supplied with the bouncer. The patch, needle, spool of heavy-duty thread and professional glue are specially designed for repairs. You should therefore use them first to preserve your inflatable.
Cleaning before storage
It is essential to clean your inflatable before storing it! Just a few minutes of cleaning can significantly extend the life of your inflatable! When used outdoors it is not uncommon for dust, leaves and small stones to accumulate. First, sweep your inflatable to remove these elements. Then use a water hose and cleaning product to scrub off the dirt.
Wait until your inflatable is completely dry before storing it. Moisture can cause mould and mildew stains and damage the thermoplastic. Professional accessories such as the Air Heater from the Huawei Air Blower range are designed to speed up the drying process inside your inflatable and prevent the formation of mould and mildew: simply attach the Air Heater to the blower and start heating the inside of the structure.
Roll up the inflatable after use
The inflatable must be folded correctly. Proper storage will ensure that your bouncer will last a long time. Inflatables are usually winterised for several months. If the inflatable is folded incorrectly during storage, unwanted creases can form and cause tears in the inflatable. Start by folding the larger parts of the inflatable along the seams. Once these initial folds have been made, the game can be rolled up and placed in its storage bag.
Store in a convenient place
Once the inflatable has been properly stored in its bag, it should be stored in a suitable place for the winter. Winter storage should be in a dry place as moisture will cause considerable damage to the inflatable. It is also best to store it in a place where there are no heavy objects on top of it.
Take care of it!
The secret to getting the most out of your inflatable is to look after it! Regular maintenance will also ensure total safety for the players. For more advice, you can contact inflatable professionals who will be happy to give you tips and recommendations for a reliable and long-lasting inflatable.
