LOADING:

While static load rating is 1000kg your ball is rated Burst Resistant to 500kg - If using weights do not exceed your body weight as a load - body weight and equipment should not exceed 250kg. ALWAYS have a catcher and ALWAYS on a well padded floor. Care should always be taken when performing dynamic exercises.


  • » STEP 1


    Locate the ball stopper (plug) and inflation adapter which come with your mediBall®. Look and confirm the size of the ball from the label on the ball.
  • » Step 2


    Partially inflate the ball using the foot pump and re-insert the stopper. Always inflate slowly to allow plastic to stretch. Do not fully inflate your ball at this stage, leave it 10cm less than its maximum Diameter shown on the ball.
  • » Step 3


    Do not use your mediBall® for 24 hours.
  • » Step 4


    Complete the inflation of the ball to your sitting height. Now wait another 24 hours before use.
  • Notes


    • If you use an air compressor, especially those at Service Stations, ensure that you don't over inflate the ball as you WILL damage it.
    •  
    • If you have purchased the correct size ball you should never have to inflate greater than 95% of it's maximum diameter shown on the ball.

*DISCLAIMER: BURST RESISTANCE (SAFETY FACTOR) IS GREATLY REDUCED IF YOU USE A DAMAGED OR INCORRECTLY INFLATED BALL.
