• This product should not be used by anyone who is drowsy, inhibited, physically or otherwise unfit. Adult supervision and good judgment are required.
• Do not use in water or as a flotation device. This is not an aquatic product. • Use common sense and good judgment. When using outdoors, do not place this product close
to any hazards, including but not limited to, hard and/or sharp objects, sidewalks, hills, streets, moving vehicle traffic.
• If using indoors, make sure the area is hazard-‐free and assure that there is enough ceiling height overhead and enough space around all sides of the product.
• This product is intended to be used on smooth, level, non-‐abrasive surfaces only. Using on rough, abrasive or hot surfaces may damage the product and limit its functionality, and be potentially dangerous to the users.
• Do not use on slopes or hills, especially when someone is rolling inside it. • Do not use in poor weather conditions, including but not limited to, rain, excessive wind,
lightning storms. • Do not leave inflated product outdoors during periods of high winds. • Make sure that users remove any personal items (example, jewellery) before using the product. • Do not jump onto the AirWheel from any other object. 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.
• Using or allowing the use of the AirWheel 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 AirWheel not supplied by manufacturer. Damage done to the AirWheel resulting from such action will not be covered under warranty.
ASSEMBLY AND INFLATION

• Remove outer bag from the AirWheel. Fold and store the bag someplace that will not be in the way.
• The AirWheel Large weighs 121 lbs. If needed get help for carrying or setting up. (AirWheel Small weighs 61 lbs).
• Loosen the straps and unfold the AirWheel. • Unfold and set up the product on a flat, level, non-‐abrasive surface. • The AirWheel has 3 valves: one for the main body and one in each of the spokes inside the
wheel. Locate and insert the pump into each. Normal inflation time is approximately 30 seconds to 5 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 AIRWHEEL • 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.
• 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.

• Step 3: Insert the other end of that same hose into the AirWheel’s valve and turn on the pump.
• 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 AIRWHEEL
• Users can roll by holding onto the straps at each corner of the AirWheel. • Users hold on tightly, as the AirWheel is lightly pushed, spinning the user inside it in a wheel-‐like
motion • When the product is not rolling, users may climb inside, play, sit or crawl inside the wheel and
on the spokes. • Important: When the AirWheel is rolling, use in a safe place and far from any hazards including,
but not limited, to: rocks, hills, slopes, traffic, streets, sidewalks, trees and in-‐ground swimming pools.
• 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.

• Step 2: The pump must be in a reverse setting.
• 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.
• (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.

PROPERLY MAINTAINING THE AIRWHEEL • Use on smooth, flat surfaces only. Avoid excessively hot or abrasive surfaces as these can
prematurely wear out the bottom of the product. • Inflate adequately. Do not over-‐ or under-‐inflate. • 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 AirWheel Large and AirWheel 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. • 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.
