Setup, Workout Tips and Care & Safety Guide
Please read before setting up or using your Ultimate Balance Ball® Chair.
TOOLS NEEDED
Balance Ball® pump (you may want to use a bicycle
pump or compressor for initial inflation).
SETUP
1. Remove the ball from packaging and inspect
for shipping damage. It is normal for the ball
to have slight creases or fold marks when first
inflated.
2. Before inflating the ball, use a tape measure or
ruler to mark 52cm or 20" on wall or floor, or
place two objects approximately 52cm apart.
This will be your guide for proper inflation size.
3. Make sure that the ball is at room temperature
before inflating.
4. Using the supplied pump, insert it into the
inflation hole in the ball. Inflate the Balance Ball®
to the desired height and firmness.
DO NOT overinflate.
5. Remove pump from Balance Ball® and
immediately insert plug into hole (so head is
flush with surface of ball).
6. Never inflate the ball larger than 52cm
or 20" in diameter.

scratches before each use. If damaged in any
way, do not use.
