Set Up

1. Locate a clean, flat area of approx imat ely 15 ft. in diameter
that is free of hard obstructions, abrasive materials, and
sharp objects. Carefully spread out the O-Z

one tube so the

graphics and black jumping surface are facing up.

2. For quick inflation, unscrew the valve body from the valve
base.

3. Using a 110V inflator/deflator or large volume hand pump,
inflate until yellow indicator is between the A
and B marks on the inflation gauge. Quickly
screw in valve body. To top off, unscrew top
valve cap only and add air. To reduce the
amount of air in the tube, turn the lower, main
valve body approximately 1 full turn counter
clockwise or until you hear air escaping.
Note: refer to step 4 if the tube feels too soft
or you are unsure whether the gauge is working properly.

4. DO NOT OVERINFLATE! Inflate only until the jump surface
is taut and the O-Z
approximately 28” high for the O-Z

one XL.

Z

one tube reaches a vertical height of

one and 36” high for the O-

5. Inflate the boarding platform unt il it becomes firm. Do not
over inflate by continuing to inflate beyond this point. Note: a
firm platform will be easier to board than a soft one.

Note: Some wrinkles may remain in the tube at this proper
pressure and will lessen over time. It is normal for the air
pressure within the tube to fluctuate depending on air and
water temperatures. It may be necessary t o check and

3

release some air pressure from the product throughout t he
day.

6. Although the O-Z

one is not intended to be anchored

continuously for any length of time, a day-use anchor bag is
included. Simply fill the anchor bag with sand from the lake
shore or lake bottom. This will create a 40-lb. anchor that can
be emptied and rinsed after use.

7. Carry (DO NOT DRAG) your O-Z

one product to the water.

Flip bouncer upside down in shallow w ater. Tie a knot in one
end of lacing rope. Align large
grommet holes of apron over the

three rope holders on the underside
of the boarding platform. Starting at
the outermost rope holder on the
bottom of the bouncer, lace
alternately between bouncer and
boarding platform. Loosely tie other
end of rope.

Flip entire unit face up in the water.
Pull rope until the platform is snug

against side of bouncer and there is
no gap.

Check to make sure the rope is
spread evenly between the rope
holders. Tie off rope to keep the
boarding platform snug to the
bouncer.

8. Move to proper water depth and attach the anchor bag rope

to the single rope holder located low on the outside of the
tube, opposite the boarding platform. Adjust anchor line to a
length slightly greater than water depth and tie rope off .

Before using your O-Zone, please read and follow all warnings
and safety instructions.
