Make sure that users remove any personal items (example, jewellery) before using the product. Do not jump onto the AirTop or from the AirTop onto any other surface. Landing on head or neck can cause paralysis, serious injury or death. Do not use, or allow others to use the product if under the influence of drugs, alcohol or other inhibiting substance. The safety warnings and instructions described in this manual represent common risks that users face. This manual does not contain an exhaustive list. This manual does not purport to cover all possible dangerous or risky situations. Contact the nearest dealer and/or manufacturer for any questions regarding function, safe use or operation of this product. BEFORE USING Check the product prior to use, before and after inflating. Do not use the product if damage is detected or if there is any defects, missing or worn- out parts. Correct any such issues before continuing use. If you are not using the product yourself, make sure to instruct the operators on how to use the product safely and encourage adult supervision. Make sure the product is adequately inflated. Temperature and environment can change the air pressure inside. The product should be firm to the touch. Using or allowing the use of the AirTop when it is over- or under- inflated is potentially dangerous and can damage the product, voiding the warranty. Do not use or attach any other hardware to the AirTop Small not supplied by manufacturer. Damage done to the AirTop resulting from such action will not be covered under warranty. ASSEMBLY AND INFLATION 2
Remove outer bag from the AirTop. Fold and store the bag someplace that will not be in the way. The AirTop Large weighs 81 lbs. If needed get help for carrying or setting up. (AirTop Small weighs 41 lbs). Loosen the straps and unfold the AirTop. Unfold and set up the product on a flat, level, non- abrasive surface. The AirTop has 6 valves: one in each of the four spokes, one in the center of the piece and one in the perimeter. Locate and insert the pump into each. Normal inflation time is approximately 30 seconds to 3 minutes. Close each valve. Do not over- inflate, especially in hot weather. This will cause the air to expand and potentially damage the product, resulting in a voided warranty. Do not use high- pressure pumps or air compressors to inflate this product. Limit = 3.5 psi INFLATING THE AIRTOP Step 1: Open the tabs off the tops of the valves. Push the plunger in and turn it either way to keep it open. NOTE: Inflating the piece without opening the valve puts unnecessary pressure on the pump. Exposed valve Step 2: Fasten the yellow hose to the correct side of the pump. Align the black plastic end of the hose with the button on the pump casing and turn to ensure a tight fit. Inflate side (see writing on right side) Hose attaches to pump here 3
Step 3: Insert the other end of that same hose into the AirTop s valve and turn on the pump. Hold nozzle inside the valve IMPORTANT: when operating the pump, do not obstruct or cover it. The vents on either side must not face down. Doing so can damage the motor. Step 4: Once the product is fully inflated, turn off the pump and remove the hose from the valve. Step 5: Promptly re- place the tabs on the valves, turning them slightly to tighten. USING THE AIRTOP Once the product is fully inflated users sit on each of the saddle arms. Hold onto the handle straps found near the top of the product to avoid falling off. Users attempt to tip the AirTop in different directions just like in a teeter- totter. Whether users are sitting or standing on the edges of the AirTop, it is recommended that users hold onto the straps when it is moving. The safety guidelines in this manual must be followed. Discontinue use if an unsafe situation arises, whether it be in the use (see Safety Information) or in the condition of the product (see Before Using). Do not allow use until the issues are corrected. DEFLATING AND PUTTING AWAY Step 1: Flip the tabs off the top of the valves. For deflation, depress and turn the plunger clockwise before inserting pump. 4
Exposed valve, with plunger pushed in Step 2: The pump must be in a reverse setting. Deflate side (see writing on right side) Hose attaches to deflate side here Step 3: Deflate completely until all the air is out of the product. Then turn the plunger up to close the valve. This prevents air from being pulled back into the unit. Hold nozzle inside valve (If you do not have the use of a vacuum blower do the following): Step 4: Roll out as much air as possible before storing. Once it is rolled more air will escape. Step 5: Once it is folded, tie up and put it back inside the outer bag. Do not store it without placing it inside the outer bag. This protects from surface abrasions. Do not place anything heavy on top of the product while it is stored. 5
PROPERLY MAINTAINING THE AIRTOP Use on smooth, flat surfaces only. Avoid excessively hot or abrasive surfaces as these can prematurely wear out the bottom of the product. Frequent use will gradually change the inside pressure. Re- inflate as needed. Hot weather expands the air inside the product, which can strain the seams. Remove air as required. Hot surfaces can damage the material. The product should be cleaned after regular use. Use either soap and water or 409 and allow adequate drying time. Do not use abrasive cleaners or high- pressure washers. If loss of air pressure is noticed, check for leaks or ruptures in the seams. See Dealing with Repairs instructions below. Never store the product when it is wet or damp. Do not inflate the unit if it is very cold. Allow time for it to warm up. NOTE: The repair kit contains colored vinyl patches and glue. To effectively use the repair kit, other material (not included) may be needed: soap & water, scissors, marker, paintbrush, rubbing alcohol, sandpaper. Both AirTop Large and AirTop Small use the same repair kit. For quick repairs use Tear Aid (available online). For seams use McNett s Seam Grip (available in most sporting goods stores or online). DEALING WITH REPAIRS In the unlikely event that the product springs a leak or punctures, follow repair kit instructions below. If a leak is suspected, look for it while the product is fully inflated. Use a mix of soap and water and sprinkle it over a suspected leak. If the soapy water bubbles, the leak has been found. Dry the area around the leak with a cloth. Mark the spot of the leak so it can be easily located later. Deflate the unit completely. Do not attempt to patch leaks when the unit is inflated. Cut a piece of vinyl patch to fit over the leak or hole, making sure it is approximately 2.5 inches larger in every direction than the leak. For best results, use patches with rounded edges. Rub the back of the vinyl patch and the site of the leak with a piece of sandpaper. This will improve the adhesion of the patch. Clean both with rubbing alcohol before gluing. Once the surface is clean, dry- fit the patch over the leak. Using a small paintbrush or dish sponge, apply a layer of glue to the area covered by the patch. Apply the patch quickly and apply even pressure to fit the patch firmly on all corners. Allow approximately 1 minute for drying. The bond will remain strong but the product should not be inflated and used for at least 24 hours after patching. 6
