The 4 foot Airblown Inflatables are generally designed for indoor or covered patio use.  Not because the high quality is any different, because it is not, but rather the A/C adaptor plug used for the 4 foot is only UL rated for indoor use.

To setup any Airblown Inflatable 4 foot follow these general instructions

2. Plug adapter into connection on the back of Airblown. (As shown in Figure below)

For all the 6 foot Character Airblown Inflatables and up the setup is pretty much the same, and all are designed for outdoor use, but not recommended to use during harse weather conditions.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
 
Q: Is it difficult or complicated to setup the Inflatable Figures?
 
A: No, not in the least. Simply remove it from the box.  Unfold the leg stand. Zip up the back of your airblown inflatable and plug it in. Use the tether ropes and stakes (included in box) as needed to secure.
 
Q: Do I need to purchase the fan or motor separately?
 
A: No, All Inflatables are fully self-contained with the motor and fan built directly into the unit.
 
Q: How long does it take to fully inflate?
 
A: It varies depending on the size and model of your particular inflatable, but most will inflate within a couple of minutes.
 
Q: Do I need to leave my Inflatable plugged in to keep it inflated?
 
A: Yes. Once you unplug it the fan stops and the Inflatable quickly deflates.
 
Q: How long is it safe to leave the Inflatable plugged in?
 
A: It is recommended that you run your Inflatable for no more then about eight continuous hours maximum.
 
Q: The lights in my Inflatable keep fading in and out. Can I adjust this?
 
A: No, you can’t. Some Inflatables are designed so that the interior lights fade on and off; others stay bright at all times.
 
Q: How can I clean my Airblown Inflatable?
 
A: Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to dry before storing away. Use mild detergent if necessary.
 
Q: How much electricity does an Airblown Inflatable use?
 
A: It uses less energy then a standard string of Holiday lights.
 
Q: What happens if my Airblown Inflatable becomes torn?
 
A: Rips in the Airblown Inflatable can be sewn by hand (no special thread is required) or
taped with clear packing or duct tape.
 
Q: What is the best way to store my Airblown Inflatable?
 
A: Store in a bag, box or other storage container and keep in a cool, dry location.
 
Q: My Inflatable is not working, what should I do?
 
A: The first thing to do of course is verify the electrical socket you have the Inflatable plugged into is indeed supplying power.  Assuming it is, and neither the fan nor lights are functioning, it is possible that the unit's fuse has blown. Unplug the Inflatable then locate the fuse compartment on the top of the plug housing. Slide open the fuse compartment and you will see two fuses, one is a spare. Replace the burnt out fuse with the spare one. See the instructions that came with your Inflatable for more details.
