Follow these steps to safely set up your inflatable punching doll.

 

SETUP & PREPARATION
Location
Always set up on a flat, smooth, indoor surface or soft grass. Keep away from walls, furniture, sharp objects, and breakables.

Filling the Base with Water (stability)
• Maximum 15 liters (approx. 3.8 gallons / 80–90 % full).
• STOP filling when you can still see an air gap at the top.
• WARNING: Over-filling can cause seams to burst and release water suddenly, resulting in flooding and property damage.
• Sand is NOT recommended and will void warranty.

Inflating Middle & Upper Sections
• Use only a manual pump or your lungs.
• NEVER use a high-pressure electric compressor (e.g., car-tire pump).
• Maximum safe pressure: 2.0 kPa (≈ 0.29 psi).
• Inflate until firm but still has slight give when pressed. It must NOT feel drum-tight.

STOP immediately if:
• Material becomes shiny and completely wrinkle-free
• Seams turn white or look stretched
• No give when pressed firmly
• Over-inflation can cause loud bursting and possible injury. Check air pressure before every use.

Dangers of Over-inflation
• Over inflation can cause loud bursting and possible injury. 
• Check air pressure before every use.

 

SAFE USE
Indoor Use (recommended)
• Best on carpet, gym mats, or smooth floors.
• When using on hardwood floors and carpets, be completely cognizant of overfill and potential water damage to those surfaces.

Outdoor Use
• Only on soft, flat grass.
• Concrete, asphalt, gravel, or patios will cause rapid wear and punctures.
• Outdoor use shortens product life and is at your own risk.

Temperature Limits
Do NOT use or store above 40 °C (104 °F) — heat causes air to expand and seams to fail.
Do NOT use below 4 °C (39 °F) — cold makes PVC brittle and prone to cracking on impact.
Never leave inflated in a hot car, direct sun, or near heaters.

 

CARE & STORAGE
Cleaning
• Deflate upper sections before cleaning.
• Wipe with mild soap and water only.
• Never use bleach, solvents, abrasives, or pressure washers.

Short-term storage (days/weeks)
• Empty all water
• Deflate completely
• Wipe dry inside and out
• Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight

Long-term storage (e.g., winter)
• Clean and completely dry (moisture causes mold)
• Deflate fully and remove all water
• Fold loosely along original creases
• Store in a cool, dark, dry location (closet is ideal)
• Protect from rodents and insects
