RE: Ninja Jump – Animal Kingdom
Dear Mr. Filoromo,
We have reviewed the Animal Kingdom Technical Dossier provided by Sawyer, Duncan & Associates. The
“Animal Kingdom” inflatable is an amusement device manufactured by Ninja Jump of Los Angeles, CA.
Based on our review, we hereby certify that the design of “Animal Kingdom” inflatable satisfies the wind load
requirements of the 2009 International Building Code as required by the State of Pennsylvania. The
structure also satisfies the requirements of ASTM F-24 in general and ASTM F2291-03, ASTM 2374-04 and
the Pennsylvania Regulations Chapter 139 Pa Code 7, in particular. The ground anchors specified in the
technical dossier are adequate to fully restrain the Inflatable Amusement Device in a 15 mph wind. When
wind speeds are expected to exceed 15 mph, the ride shall be deflated and closed for the duration of the
wind event.
I trust this information is sufficient for your needs at this time. Please do not hesitate to contact our office
should you have any questions.

Description of Ride
This is a 17’ x 17’6” x 9’2” rectangular interactive air bounce designed for toddlers that also features interior
obstacles and a small slide. The bounce is inflated using one 1 HP electric fan and has nesh and inflated side
walls.
Patrons enter at the front entrance of the device and onto the bed where there are inflatable pop-ups and a
mini slide. The device is completely open with side netting so that the operator can easily supervise the
activities of the patrons and communicate to them.
Specifications of the device are as follows:
1. Dimensions: 17’ x 17’6” x 9’2” max ht, 244 lbs.
2. Construction: fibre-reinforced fabric, 15 oz Fire Retardant material certified to NFPA 701
(certificate attached).
3. One (1) operator is needed to operate this device.
4. Maximum participants: Children only with a maximum of 10 participants. Maximum weight of 50lbs
each and minimum height of 30” and a max 42” tall. Operator to ensure large boisterous children
are not mixed with small timid ones.

5.
a. Anchors: Minimum of 7 steel stakes min 5/8” dia x 18” long steel. Stakes are to be driven
perpendicularly into firm ground, such as grassed areas, or directly into asphalt. Loose soil is
unacceptable. 50lb ballast sandbags are minimum weight to be used but 200lb bags (as stated
in the manual) are more than acceptable.
b. Indoor Anchors: Cement secured anchors or 50 lb weights are sufficient to keep the slide
from shuffling along the floor during use.
6. Blower: one 1 HP, producing min 700 cfm and max 900 cfm @ 5” wg. Typical inflation pressure for
this type of device with sewn (rather than welded) seams is 5” – 7” (26 – 36 psf.) with a 1 HP
blower. Blowers shall be fitted with a non-return valve or flap to minimise deflation.
7. Weather restrictions: Maximum wind speed for operation is 15 mph. Calculations are attached.
Compliance
Compliance with ASTM F 1159-03a, section 7.6 is as follows:
a) Flame-out: certificate attached
b) Hold-down is shown in the attached drawings, and is designed for maximum operating wind speeds of 15
mph. Calculations are attached.
c) Concealment: Open structure, operators can monitor entire unit
d) Exit Lighting: Not applicable
e) Deflation: Open device and fast evacuation, operator on duty when patrons are on unit, no increased
risk of injury due to sudden loss of power to blower.

Select the area in which the inflatable will be inflated. The following ground locations are good
for setting up the jumper: medium dense coarse sands, sandy gravels, very stiff silts, and clays.
Select an area which is at least 6’ larger than the inflatable’s base so you will have a 3’ clearance
on all sides. Before setting up the inflatable, check and make sure to have at least a 15’
clearance from overhead telephone wires, or any other utility wires, etc. Also, check the area for
any ground obstructions such as protruding sprinklers, underground pipes, etc. Make certain that
you pick a level area to set the inflatable on and not one that’s hilly or slanted. Place the unit in
the middle of the selected area. If using a tarp, set the tarp down first and place the jump on it.
Untie straps and unroll.
Connect the air tube to the blower. If there is more than one air tube, choose the one closest to
the power source and twist the other tube/s several times, fold it over, and secure it with a strap.
Check all tubes for snugness to make certain that no air is escaping and re-tie and re-connect, if
necessary. Also, check the air intake on the side of the motor/blower for blockage. Make sure to
always use a 1 HP blower with a minimum of 700 cfm and a maximum of 900 cfm. You should
3.28.12
1
carry a 50’ 12 gauge exterior UL-approved extension cord to accommodate longer distances to
the electricity source. Always plug motor/blower into a 115V outlet 20 amp circuits (usually
found in kitchens and laundry rooms).
Check with the customer to see if placement of the inflatable is satisfactory. If so, inflate the
unit. Connect each tie down strap of the ride to the ground stake and drive each stake into the
ground at a minimum depth of 18”. Stakes are to be driven perpendicularly into firm ground,
such as grassed areas, or directly into asphalt. Loose soil is unacceptable. This should be done
with all tie-down straps at all locations as provided by manufacturer on the particular ride. If
your unit has high-level tie-down straps, they should be anchored 3-5 feet from ride. Remember
to install the ground stakes at such distance from the jumper that the jumper straps connected to
the shackle and anchor would be taut.
5/8” diameter x 7, 18” long steel stakes to
be driven perpendicularly into firm ground,
such as grassed areas, or directly into

OPERATION OF THE RIDE
1. Patrons enter through the front entrance and may choose the area they would like to play in
which consist of the dolphin pop-up area directly in front of the entrance, the log obstacle
area to the left of the entrance, the jumping area towards the back of the unit, the ball pond
area all the way in the back of the unit or the climb and slide area located on the right hand
side of the unit.
BLOWER INSTRUCTIONS
1. Applications:
The primary application for the blower is the pressurization of inflatable interactive
games and other types of inflatables requiring sustained high air pressure.
2. Operation:
Place the blower in the desired area pointing towards the inflatable. Place the blower on
a stable surface. Attach the inflation tube around the exhaust opening by means of a
strap. Cinch the strap tightly, being sure that it has gripped the blower behind the raised
portion of the exhaust, to assure the inflation tube is correctly and solidly attached. Plug
the cord into a grounded outlet or extension cord that has been grounded through a GFCI.
Turn on the singly speed switch.
3. Safety Information:
3.1. Do not use in standing water. Even though the blower may be described as weather
resistant, do not run blower when there is a chance of getting the motor and wiring
wet or damp.
3.2. If blower gets wet, and water is inside blower, tip the blower to drain water out of the
drain holes. Once water is drained, allow blower to dry thoroughly before resuming
operation.
3.3. Keep children away from blower while plugged in and / or in operation.
3.4. Ensure that the power source is sufficient for the power requirements of the blower.
3.5. Do not look into the discharge outlet of the blower. Foreign objects may become
dangerous projectiles.
3.6. This blower is to be operated only with the proper safety guards in place to prevent
persons and objects from contacting the revolving blower wheel. Any other use
voids the warranty and creates unsafe conditions.
3.7. Do not insert foreign objects or body parts into the blower. Do not block, move, or
tamper with the blower in any manner while it is in operation.
3.8. This blower must have backpressure to operate properly. In other words, an
inflatable must be attached to the blower prior to turning on the blower.
3.9. Do not position this blower where it can blow dust, dirt, or other objects at people in
the airflow pattern.
3.28.12
3
3.10. This blower is intended for inflating (pressurizing) inflatable objects. Operating
the blower for other than this prescribed use will void warranties and can cause
unsafe conditions.
3.11. Do not use the blower in potentially dangerous locations such as inflammable,
explosive, chemical laden environments.
3.12. To avoid possibilities of damage to blower or problems with operation, place the
blower on a smooth and level surface.
3.13. Never operate the blower without safety guards in place. If guards are removed
for servicing, then they must be replaced to the proper position before operation of
the blower.
3.14. Inspect the unit carefully before each use. If the unit appears to have damage,
repair or replace before use.
WARNING: When restarting the fan following a power outage, be sure the inflatable
does not cause the fan to spin backwards. The blower will not properly inflate the ride if
the fan is spinning backwards.
4. Electrical Safety:
4.1. Ensure the power supply exceeds the requirements of the blower for safe operation.
4.2. The power cord is equipped with a three-prong plug that must be inserted into a
matching receptacle. Do not remove or cut the ground prong off the plug.
WARNING: Use of a three prong to two prong adapter is not recommended. Improper
connection may create the risk of electrocution.
5. Extension Cords:
5.1. Use the shortest possible length. When extension cords are used, ensure they are UL
listed for outdoor use and of the proper gauge and length. Cords up to 50 ft. in
length should be no smaller than 14-3. Cords that are up to 100 ft. in length should
be no smaller than 12-3.
5.2. Do not kink cords or allow contact of oil, grease, moisture, chemicals, hot surfaces,
or sharp and abrasive objects. Replace worn or damaged cords.
5.3. Unplug the power cord before cleaning or servicing.
WARNING: Do not depend on any switch or other controlling device as the only means
of disconnecting power when installing or servicing the blower. Always unplug the
power cord. Failure to do so may result in electric shock. This could be fatal.

SUPERVISION by a qualified attendant is required at all times.
The ride MUST be securely tied down. (See operating instructions).
The blower requires a GROUND fault protected circuit (GFCI).
DO NOT use and immediately deflate the ride, if winds exceed 15 MPH (25 KPH) and
/or when it rains.
Persons with mental or physical impairment SHOULD NOT use this ride without proper
supervision.
REMOVE shoes, eyeglasses and any sharp objects.
NO food, drinks, gum, pets or silly string.
Somersaults, diving, wrestling, rough play and flips are prohibited.
Play at a safe distance from others and away from the sides and entrances/exits.
DO NOT jump onto or off the ride.
EXIT immediately if the unit begins to lose air.
Go down the slide FEET FIRST ONLY, one rider at a time for each lane.
NO CLIMBING up the slide the wrong way, NOR JUMPING onto the slide area.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
1. No riders should be allowed on a partially inflated unit.
2. All Inflatables should be securely anchored and fully inflated before any riders are
allowed to enter.
3. Maximum number or participants that should play in the unit at one time is 10 or a
Maximum Weight of 50lbs/ea participant; Min Height – 30”; Max Height – 42”.
4. Under no circumstances is climbing on the exterior of the inflatable allowed.
5. Adult supervision is required at all times while the inflatable is in use. Minimum required
operator/attendant: one (1) by the entrance.
6. Do not install inflatables near a pool.
7. Caution should be exercised when lifting and handling the equipment.
3.28.12
5
8. All extension cords and straps should be placed in such a manner that no one can trip on
them. Also, no electrical cords should run through puddles or near a pool.
EMERGENCY EVACUATION PROCEDURE
The Attendant, before operating the ride, must familiarize himself with the ride’s entrance/exit as
well as escape hatches. In the unforeseeable event that power is interrupted and the ride begins
to lose air, the Attendant should guide all the riders to calmly and orderly leave the ride via the
entrance/exit.
All rides that have permanent roofs feature Escape Hatches on the roof. The Attendant may
choose to have the riders exit the ride through these easily accessible escape hatches. All rides
that do not have roofs offer the Attendant the alternative of allowing the riders to exit the ride
through the wide openings around the unit.
If the Attendant determines the weather conditions warrant closing down the ride or in the event
of a power failure, the following procedure shall be observed:
1. Stop riders from entering the device, including parents.
2. Riders in the bouncer/slide shall be told to leave through the entrance in an orderly manner,
as rushing may intimidate smaller and more timid riders.
3. Riders on the lower section of the climb, if applicable, shall be advised to climb back down
and exit through the obstacles portion.
4. Riders on the upper part of the climb and the slide itself, if applicable, shall be instructed to
proceed to the slide and exit the normal way. Apply the normal slide rules of one person on
the slide at a time.
DEFLATION PROCEDURES
Before deflating any unit, make sure you remove any debris that may have been left behind.
Check to make sure no objects have fallen into the seams of the unit, i.e. pens, pencils, etc….as
these items may cause damage to the unit during the rolling up process.
1. Make sure there are no children inside or around the unit before you turn the switch off and
unplug the blower.
2. Disconnect the air tube from the blower and untie the second air tube. Let both air tubes lie
parallel to each other so the air can escape freely.
3. As the unit deflates, arrange the columns to fall on top of the base making sure the deflated
unit is evenly spread out.
3.28.12
6
4. Standing in front of the unit (entrance), fold the left side and the right side so they meet in
the middle and then fold one side over the other.
5. Roll the unit towards the air tubes and then tuck the air tubes into the roll.
5. Secure the roll with each strap tied into a slip knot and dolly the unit into a dry area for
storage.
REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE
To repair holes and tears up to 12”, use “Single Patch Method,” utilizing the patch kit provided
with each unit as follows: (1) Cut an oval or round shape vinyl patch, approximately 2” larger
than the cut; (2) Clean around the torn area; (3) Apply glue on the patch and around the torn
area; (4) Let it dry for 3 minutes; (5) Place the patch covering the damaged area and press with
your palm for 1 minute. In approximately 15 minutes the glue should dry and the unit will be
ready to be inflated.
3.28.12
7
For larger tears, you can use the “Double Patch Method,” as follows: (1) Put a patch inside the
torn area by applying glue and pressing to the inside surface of the torn area; (2) After this is
done, apply another patch to the outside surface of the torn area following the above-mentioned
steps.
It is a good practice to clean the inflatables after each use. It is easier to clean the units in an
inflated position by using dishwashing detergent and rags for general clean-up. To remove
chewing gum, grease, adhesives, etc., use “Goof Off” and for mildew use “X-14.” To reach
high spots, untie the vent tube so unit gets soft and pull down from the sides.
WARNING: To clean printed areas of rides, never use any solvents or other type of cleaners
except plain soap and water.
Make sure the unit is dry before rolling up and storing.
“Lemon Pledge” can be used for protection. All inflatables should be cleaned and dried every
time they are exposed to rain to avoid mildew and unpleasant odors. If water has been
accumulated inside the mattress and other inaccessible areas, the unit should be inflated outdoors
and tilted to a 45 degree angle for as long as needed to drain all the water out.
A unit usually dries in about 2 hours.
