I found out that if you unscrew the cap just a little, enough to let the air in or to seep out, but not totally unscrew it then blow into the top (with the cap still on), it will blow up better & not leak air. You just tighten it once you have it where you want it. If you totally take off the top, it will be harder to get the top back on before it leaks out too much air.

I have been using it for about a year now, blow it up by mouth every once in a while just fine, no problem. But usually it deflates a bit when trying to screw it tight. Other Han that, it works fine. Try finding a person with "bigger" lung capacity to help you.

I am able to blow into it by my mouth, but it is a some what of a challenge. The key is to close the cap before too much air escapes. Takes a little practice, but the results are beneficial.

I also had difficulty using my mouth. I used the pump I use for my inflatables and the tube only blows up half-way and sinks in spots. I have to think it's the way the tube is made. I had another brand and it blew up just fine.

You have to unscrew the metal stem to open it, then start blowing. Rescrew closed before the air comes back out.

The small round metal attachment is a closure that is turned clockwise to close and counter-clockwise to open. Turn the metal to the left with your thumb and forefinger to open -- blow up the ring -- then tighten the metal closure by turning it clockwise.

There are two settings. I made the mistake of having the nozzle on the "suck" instead of the blow. Check it and see :-)

you can blow it up yourself, its just time consuming... there are about 3 valves; One for the bottom where they sit, One for the surrounding ring and head, and one for the shade. It takes a couple of minutes to inflate.

Make sure that there is a primer.must hit it about three time with the choke on.hit the trigger on the gun to release the air and then try to start the motor

Sounds like it is plugged it restricted. Can you get it apart and blow it out?

you will need a pump. I just blew mine up like a balloon, its not that big so it was easy to do. Also, you don't want to fill it to full or it won't have any movement.

Hi Alison, The ball should have come with a plastic straw. Insert this into the ball and inflate by blowing by mouth. The ball doesn't have to be inflated beyond what you can do by mouth. Just be careful when you put the white plastic plug in the inflation hole to seal it. This is where you can loose some of your pressure. This may take a few tries until you get the technique. Be ready to cover the hole with your finger after taking the straw out. Take the straw out of the ball while you're still blowing into the ball. Good luck!!

You blow it up manually with your mouth. There are two small compartments to blow up and you have to pinch the valves while you blow into it. It's really simple.

I don't think you're missing anything, it is a little hard to blow up. I found that if you squeeze the portion in that you're blowing into, the air goes in a lot faster. I hope that helps!

There's a small button on the bottom. Seems to work when you press it and blow at the same time.

hmmm send it back. it should work to push the jellyfidh up with air. it should push air for a few seconds then wait a few sconds. sounds like you have a faulty one. we've had ours for 3 yrs.

I had the same problem too. I used my air compressor and just stuck the end in the hole and stuck a rag around in the hole to clog it. It took me about 30 min. to get the thing inflated,but I finally got it.Hope this helps you out.

You need to squeeze the valve while you blow into it. It is a bit hard to do at first, but does loosen up after you use it a bit. Hope that helps!

You need to bite the valve very low when you blow into it. It was very difficult the first time we inflated it but after that it does get easier.

It's supposed to blow it up and out. The vent at the bottom pulls it in... It's just to dissipate the smoke or steam...

You do have to blow it up using the black tube but it only takes 20 seconds or so and it is so easy! You just have to open tha black cap and blow in there but just be careful not to blow it fully because it is easy to puncture if you did that.I love the product! And it is so handy to have it:)

Ditto. Just fill it with the oil it came with to the proper level, plug it in and it should work. temporarily remove the inlet black plug,, put your finger to plug it up and you should feel it trying to suck in your finger. This lets you know it is working and sucking right. Caution, the body fins may tend to get hot to the touch depends on how long you have it working. Provide adequate ventilation.
