- Desempaquetar components: Remove the blower unit, air platforms, and hoses from the carrying case.
- Connect Hoses to Blower: Attach the air hoses securely to the output connectors on the blower unit. Ensure a tight fit to prevent air leakage.

- Connexió d'alimentació: Plug the blower unit's power cord into a standard 120-volt electrical outlet. If using an extension cord, ensure it is rated for outdoor use and appropriate amperage.
5. Instruccions de funcionament
Once the air glider is set up, follow these instructions for safe and effective operation:
- Activa el bufador: Turn on the blower unit. You will hear the motor start, and the platforms will begin to inflate, creating an air cushion beneath the object. The object should visibly lift slightly off the ground.
- Prova de moviment: Gently push the object to confirm it is floating on the air cushion and can be moved with minimal effort. If the object does not move freely, re-check platform placement and air hose connections.
- Guide the Object: With the object floating, carefully guide it to its desired location. Use steady, controlled movements. For large or heavy objects, it is recommended to have a second person assist with guiding and stabilizing.
- Consideracions de superfície: The air glider performs best on smooth, hard surfaces like concrete, tile, or hardwood. For carpeted or uneven surfaces, it may be necessary to lay down temporary hardboard or fiberboard runners to create a smooth path.
- Girar: To turn the object, apply gentle pressure to one side while pushing forward. Avoid abrupt turns.
- Deactivate Blower: Once the object is in its final position, turn off the blower unit. The air platforms will deflate, and the object will settle back onto the floor.
- Remove Platforms: Carefully tilt the object again, if necessary, and remove the deflated platforms.
