• 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.
