How Do You Safely Deflate a Jumping Castle?

Deflating a jumping castle requires careful handling to ensure safety and to maintain the longevity of the inflatable. Here are the steps to safely deflate your jumping castle:

1. Ensure Safety First

Before starting the deflation process, make sure that:

• Children Are Removed: Ensure that all children and users are out of the jumping castle before deflating.
• Power Off: Turn off the blower and unplug it from the power source.
• Clear the Area: Make sure the area around the jumping castle is clear of obstacles and bystanders.

2. Open the Air Vents

Locate the deflation zippers or air vents on the jumping castle. Open these vents to allow air to escape. Depending on the design, you may need to:

• Unzip Vents: Open the zippers fully to facilitate faster deflation.
• Remove Air Vents: If the design includes removable air vents, detach them carefully.

3. Begin Deflation

As the air starts to escape, gently push and press on the surface of the jumping castle to help expel the air more quickly. Here’s how:

• Press Down: Use your body weight to gently press down on the inflatable, working from one end to the other.
• Flattening: Smooth out the surface as much as possible to facilitate even deflation.

4. Fold and Roll

Once the jumping castle is fully deflated, it’s time to fold and roll it up for storage:

• Fold Evenly: Fold the jumping castle in half, then in half again, to make it easier to roll.
• Roll Tightly: Roll the deflated inflatable tightly from one end to the other, ensuring there are no air pockets.
• Secure: Use straps or ties to keep the rolled-up jumping castle secure for transport or storage.

5. Clean and Inspect

After deflating and rolling up the jumping castle:

• Inspect for Damage: Look for any signs of wear or damage that may need repair.
• Clean: Wipe down the surface if needed to remove any dirt or debris before storing it.
