Operating Procedures

Each operator should read and understand the following instructions.

• The moonbounce should not be operated if wind exceeds 15 mph or in rain or lightning conditions.
• All riders must remove their shoes.
• Riders should be sorted by size. Only riders of the same size should be allowed in the moonbounce at the same time.
• Riders must remove loose or sharp objects including glasses and dangling jewelry. Glasses should be removed.
• No food, drinks, pets, silly string, or gum.
• No open flame or smoking within 50 feet.
• Absolutely no silly string or fireworks should be in the vicinity of the bounce.
• The rated capacity should never be exceeded. The capacity of the moonbounce is as follows:

• The operator should assist the riders when they enter and exit the moonbounce.
• The operator should position himself/herself in close proximity to the entrance of the moonbounce.
• While the moonbounce is in operation, the operator should watch the riders at all times. No roughhousing or horseplay should be tolerated. No climbing on the nets is allowed. Anyone who does not obey the rules after being warned should be asked to exit the moonbounce.
• The operator must strictly enforce the rules posted on the warning sign.
• The operator must remain in control of the moonbounce at all times.
• In case of an emergency, the operator should instruct riders to remain calm and help riders exit the moonbounce quickly, but in an orderly fashion.  After everyone has exited the moonbounce, deflate the moonbounce by turning off the blowers or fans.

Loss of Electrical Power
When a loss of power occurs the moonbounce will slowly start to deflate.

• Remain Calm! You will have ample time to help your patrons quickly and safely exit the moonbounce. 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 moonbounce will re-inflate.
• Contact Bounce Haven at (240) 351-3281 or (240) 351-3715 to check the problem. Do not leave the moonbounce unattended.

If the moonbounce becomes damaged while in your operation, take the following steps.

• If the moonbounce is ripped or otherwise begins to lose air, assist all riders from the moonbounce and deflate it.
