Photo “A” shows a tube severely underinflated. Note how the adult standing on the
product sinks down into the tube. Under inflation will not allow the trampoline to pro-
vide maximum bounce and puts undo stress on the unit and its seams, which could
cause the tube to rupture.
Photo “B” shows a tube properly inflated. Note how the adult standing on the product
barely sinks down into the tube. When properly inflated, all features of the product
would remain sturdy and perform better, prolonging the life of the unit.
Inflation Maintenance:
Finally, it is not enough to simply fill it up and go! It is important to monitor the amount
of air in this product as heat will cause the bladder to expand, possibly causing dam-
age to the seams or I-beams. If you leave a full product sitting in the sun for any length
of time, it will expand. As this product will be exposed to the sun for an extended peri-
od of time, it may be necessary to let some air out to relieve pressure. At the same
time, if it is stored out of the sun in a cool place, you may need to add air. Do not inflate
while the product is wet or in the water. To prevent electric shock or other injury, only
inflate this product on a land surface. Check and adjust inflation levels each time you
use your tube. You’ll have more fun, and your toys will last longer.
The best air pumps to use are:
• 110v electric: 2.5 psi (
model #57-1509)
or 3.0 psi (
model #57-1508)
• Hand/foot pump specifically for towables: LP1 (model #57-1003)
• 12v pumps (model #57-1510) can also be used but a their maximum output is only .8
psi so a secondary pump such as the Sportsstuff LP1 hand pump (model #57-1003) will
need to be used.
• Leaf Blower
• Vacuum with two-way switch
Various types of air pumps are available from Sportsstuff at 1-888-814-8833 or online at
