Using a balloon pump is straightforward: you apply pressure until the balloon reaches the desired size, then you stop. The YouTube video "How to use balloon air pump" demonstrates this process. Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Prepare the Balloon and Pump: Ensure the balloon pump is ready for use.
-
Attach the Balloon: Place the balloon's opening securely over the nozzle of the balloon pump.
-
Pump Air: Begin pumping air into the balloon. This usually involves a back-and-forth motion if it's a hand pump, or activating the power switch if it's an electric pump.
-
Monitor the Size: As you pump, pay attention to the balloon's size. According to the video's description, you need to keep adding pressure until you get to the desired size.
-
Stop at the Desired Size: Once the balloon reaches the size you want, stop pumping. It is important not to over-inflate, as this can cause the balloon to burst.
-
Remove the Balloon: Carefully remove the inflated balloon from the pump nozzle and tie it off.
