Troubleshooting: If the unit is not fully inflating balloons with helium, see the section on Inflator Maintenance on the back
page of the instruction sheet.
For Mode 3 only
Using Your Inflator
Fill Balloons with Hi-Float® Only
1. Set the unit to Mode 1. Reference the size setting chart to set the proper amount of
Hi-Float®. T o test the inflator, use the measuring cup to verify the amount of Hi-Float
®
being dispersed.
2. Slide the neck of the balloon all the way over the inflating outlet. There's a groove
at the top of the outlet that will hold the balloon in place for hands-free operation.
3. Tap the foot pedal to begin the cycle.
4. Remove the balloon from the outlet and store in a cool, dry place until ready for
inflation with helium. Wipe off any excess Hi-Float®from the aluminum outlet before
replacing the blue outlet cap.
1. The Hi-Float®inflator has 3 modes of operation. Press the "Mode" button on the control panel to select the desired mode. The
red LED display indicates in which mode the unit is operating. Important: When the setting is greater than 9.9, the display number will blink to indicate the setting exceeds 10.0. Add 10 to the blinking digit to calculate the setting.
2. Choose the Mode you would like to operate in and follow the directions below.
Mode 1: Automatically injects Hi-Float®ONLY into balloon (Red LED display ON left side only.)
Mode 2: Automatically Inflates balloon with Helium ONLY. (Red LED display ON right side only.)
Mode 3: Automatically injects Hi-Float®into balloon and inflates balloon with helium. (Both red LED displays ON.)

Mode 1
Inflating Latex Balloons with Helium Only
1 . Set the unit to the Mode 2. Reference the size setting chart to set the proper amount
of helium. (Note: It is not necessary to remove blue cap from the Hi-Float®outlet.
2. Slide the neck of the balloon all the way over the inflating outlet. There's a groove
at the top of the outlet that will hold the balloon in place for hands-free operation.
3. Tap the foot pedal to begin the automatic helium inflation process.
4. Remove the balloon from the outlet and tie.
Mode 2
Inflating Latex Balloons with Hi-Float® and Helium
1 . Set the unit to Mode 3. Reference the size setting chart to verify the preset amounts
of Hi-Float®and helium.
2. Slide the neck of the balloon all the way over the inflating outlet. There's a groove
at the top of the outlet that will hold the balloon in place for hands-free operation.
3. T ap the foot pedal to begin the cycle. Hi-Float®will enter the balloon first. After the
Hi-Float®enters the balloon, pinch the neck of the balloon to prevent Hi-Float®from
coating the outlet. Rub the balloon to evenly distribute the Hi-Float®and fully coat
the inside of the balloon. After a 5 second delay the automatic helium inflation
process begins. (NOTE: Tap the foot pedal twice to reduce the 5-second delay to 3
seconds.)
4. Remove the balloon from the outlet and tie. Wipe off any excess Hi-Float®from
the aluminum outlet before replacing the blue outlet cap.

Time settings are in seconds for both Hi-Float®and Helium. Set
the unit to Mode 1 to test the amount of Hi-Float

injected placing the measuring cup under the outlet. IMPORTANT: HiFloat

is temperature sensitive. Use this chart as a guideline
and adjust as needed.
The second-stage helium
regulator should be set at
70 PSI. To adjust the pressure, pull the knob up -clockwise increases the
pressure, counterclockwise
decreases the pressure.
Press the knob down to
lock it in place.
When the Hi-Float®level drops below the refill line on the sight tube, add 2 quarts of Hi-Float®.
Refilling the Reserve Cylinder
Place the foil balloon over the brass
inflating outlet. Pinch the neck of the
balloon between your thumb and
forefinger and press down on the
outlet. Support the foil balloon in an
upright position until enough helium
has entered the balloon to hold it up.
This insures the neck of the balloon
does not fold over and restrict the
flow of helium. When the balloon
has reached the proper pressure, the
Auto Foil Outlet of your Hi-Float
®
Inflator will automatically shut off
the helium flow.
Automatic Foil Balloon Inflation
For inflating large balloons, slide the white ring
over the outlet and screw to tighten. Stretch the
neck of the balloon over the ring for hands-free
inflation.

3. Use the small brush to clean the helium
passage. Use the large brush to clean the
Hi-Float®port. Important Tip: Always cap
the outlet when the unit is not in use. HiFloat®will dry and clog the inflation outlet if the cap is not replaced when the
unit is not in use.
1. Remove the blue helium supply line from
the inflating outlet by pressing the gray plastic release ring. When the ring is fully
depressed the hose can be easily removed
from the fitting.

2. Fill the small squeeze bottle with hot water.
Insert the blue hose on the end of the squeeze
bottle into the helium outlet. Place a cup under
the outlet to catch the hot water. Flush the passage with the hot water by squeezing the water
bottle. This will dissolve any residual of Hi-Float
®
and clean the outlet.

For best results, clean the helium and Hi-Float® outlet on a regular basis. This will insure that the proper amount of Hi-Float® and helium are
added during the automatic inflation process.
