How to Unbox Buffablo

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Inflatable Buffalos:

Setting up an inflatable buffalo is typically straightforward:
  • Make sure the zipper on bottom is fully closed
  • If plugging it in outdoors, make sure the GFI outlet is set properly
  • Plug in and allow to inflate before pushing stakes in to secure.
  • Once inflated, position your Buffalo where you want, then install each of the stakes provided through the webbed loops into the ground.
  • Make sure there is no debris blocking the fan (leaves, snow, tall grass, etc)

Several factors could prevent an inflatable buffalo from inflating properly:
  • Power Issues: Ensure the power source (electrical outlet or generator) is functioning correctly.
  • Air Leaks: Check the zipper that is located on the bottom.  If the zipper isn’t fully closed it will not inflate fully.  If zipper is closed, check to see if there are any cuts or tears somewhere on the Inflatable.
  • Blockages: Inspect the air intake fan or blower for any obstructions that could be blocking the airflow.
  • Power Plug:  occasionally the plug can go bad.  These are easily replaceable with the proper replacement plug.  Contact us at info@buffablo.com for a replacement after you check the other things noted here.
  • Cord Broken or Cut:  If the cord is cut or broke, the Buffalo will not inflate.  In most cases this can be replaced and spliced with a new cord.
  • Weather Conditions: Extreme cold or windy conditions can affect the inflation process. Ensure the inflatable is set up in suitable weather conditions.

Proper maintenance helps extend the lifespan of your inflatable buffalo:
  • Regularly inspect for damage and repair any tears or holes promptly.  Note:  Contact us at info@buffablo.com if you have a tear or cut, we have a person that can sew and repair these for a small fee.
  • Deflate your Buffalo in heavy winds.
  • Some of our taller products come with a tether cord to tie it down better.  Be sure to use these when provided.
  • Clean the inflatable with mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris.
  • Store the deflated inflatable in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sharp objects.
  • If snow accumulates on a buffalo, its ok, just gently use a broom or snow brush to remove the snow.
  • Avoid leaving the plug in any standing water.
  • Store  the deflated buffalo in the storage bag provided.

No.  Neither can be replaced but its rare that they would fail.  If you run into an issue with your buffalo functioning properly, please check the plug itself as most of the controls are in that.  We can send a replacement.

Yes, inflatable buffalos are designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Ensure they are secured properly and protected from harsh weather conditions when used outdoors.

  • Unplug the Buffalo and allow it to deflate.
  • Remove the stakes from ground by pulling out the stakes themselves.  DON’T pull the stakes out by pulling on the fabric as this might cause a tear.
  • Unzip the zipper to allow all of the air to evacuate fully.
  • Roll up your buffalo from head to toe and place it back into the storage bag provided.
