Size Up Your Fitball

Care & Inflation Instructions

IMPORTANT WARNING

All balls, like car tyres, wear out with heavy use. If you use your ball in a commercial environment you may need to upgrade on a regular basis. mediBall® fitballs are not indestructible and may be weakened or damaged by sharp objects which may result in the ball deflating. Do not use a mediBall® that has been damaged. Always keep your activity area clear of sharp objects or corners, and check your ball regularly. Visit mediBall for advice on warning signs.

Clean

Use a damp cloth to remove dust, dirt and marks. Avoid using harsh cleaners.

Inspect

Check the surface of your mediBall before use. Do not use your ball if the surface is damaged.

Use

Keep the floor, exercise and work area clear of sharp objects and debris such as tacks, pins, glass and thorns.

Care

Should be taken if using in temperatures greater than 32 degrees Celsius or less than 18 degrees Celsius as this may reduce ball strength.

Do NOT patch or repair burst or punctured balls. Keep away from naked flames and direct sunlight. Do not leave ball inflated in your car.

  3. Slowly inflate the ball to 5cm less than its maximum diameter e.g. 60cm for a 65cm ball
  4. Insert the air stopper and do not use your ball for 24 hours
  5. Complete the inflation of the ball to your correct sitting height and wait another 24 hours before use

NOTE: If you have purchased the correct ball size, you should never have to inflate greater than 95% of the maximum diameter stated on the label.
