Idaho Inflatables Set up Guidelines
“Our Goal is to help make your party or event the most fun, enjoyable, and SAFEST!”
- The set up location must be on a relatively flat and smooth surface.
- Please let us know if the inflatable is being set up on any other surface besides grass. This insures we bring tarps and sandbags to protect and anchor the inflatable.
- Please allow for a 3-5 foot clearance area around the inflatable. This makes sure we have enough room for the entrance ramps and blower tubes.
- There should be no overhead or side obstructions like power lines or trees.
- An electrical outlet within 100 ft. must be available.
- Generators can be rented for an additional charge if there is no available power source.
- Please clean up all dog piles and debris at and around the location where the inflatable will be set up.
- Make sure underground sprinkler systems are turned off during the duration of the inflatable rental.
- Please keep a separate area for food, drinks and snacks away from the inflatable.
- Keep all party toys out of the inflatable such as balloon pieces, silly string, confetti and especially sharp objects. Silly String will permanently damage an inflatable.
- There is no deposit required at time of reservation. However we do ask that any reservation is cancelled at least 48 hours in advance. (Unless it is weather related) Payment is expected at the time of set up. A $25.00 fee is charged to all returned checks.

Emergency Procedures
Emergencies can arise for various reasons. The following are a few examples of emergencies and how they can be handled. This is strictly a guide…please use common sense when an emergency occurs.
Weather
Bad weather can arrive in the form of rain, lightning or strong wind. In each case you want to evacuate the ride as
quickly and safely as possible.
- Remain Calm! If you panic your riders may also panic. Stay calm and stay focused on your job, which is to help your riders exit the ride quickly, but in an orderly fashion.
- After everyone has exited the ride, deflate the ride by turning off the blowers or fans.
- Bounces should be folded over once so that the interior is protected from the weather.
Loss of Electrical Power
When
a loss of power occurs the ride will slowly start to deflate.
-Remain Calm! You will have ample
time to help your patrons quickly and safely exit the ride. This situation tends to cause panic…unless the operator
stays calm and relaxed. Talk calmly to those inside the unit telling them not to panic while you’re helping
them walk out.
- Check to see if the blowers have come unplugged or the cords are unplugged from the outlet. If
so, plug them back in and the ride will re-inflate.
- Contact or have someone contact Idaho Inflatables at 208-375-5404 to
check the problem. Do not leave the ride unattended.
Damage
If the ride becomes damaged while in your operation, take the following steps.
-If the ride is ripped or otherwise
begins to lose air, assist all riders from the ride and deflate it.
-Write down what happened, when, and any other details
you observed and turn this report in to the Responsible Party.
-Contact Idaho Inflatables immediately. Do not attempt
to continue to operate the ride.
