Particular caution - Risk of injury for children

• Keep the packaging materials away from children. There is a risk of suffocation!
  Parents and other supervisors should be aware of their responsibility as situations and conduct may arise for which the training equipment was not designed due to the playfulness and experimentation that is natural in children.
  If you allow your children to use the equipment you should take their mental and physical development into account and, most importantly, their temperament. Supervise the children as necessary and always instruct them on how to use the device correctly. This training equipment is absolutely not suitable for use as a toy.

Risks from wear

The product may only be used when in perfect condition. Examine the product for damage and wear before each use. The safety of the product can only be guaranteed if it is examined regularly for damage and wear. Discontinue use if damage is found.

Avoiding damage to property

All inflatable articles are sensitive to cold. You should therefore never unfold or inflate the article at temperatures below 15^
- Protect the article from direct sunlight. If the air pressure increases in direct sunlight then this needs to be offset by releasing the air.
- Avoid contact with sharp, hot, pointed, or hazardous objects. Please ensure that your training area is free of pointed objects.
Only insert suitable air pump adapters into the valve. Otherwise the valve could be damaged.

Do not inflate the article too far as there is a risk of the welded seams tearing. Close the valve securely after inflation.
- Do not use a compressor or a compressed air bottle to inflate the article. This can lead to damage to the article.

Inflating

IMPORTANT:

Only adults may inflate the article.
- Do not pump the article beyond the given diameter.
Only fill the article with air.
- Do not inflate the ball with your mouth as this can lead to dizziness.

Use a standard foot pump or double stroke piston pump with corresponding attachments. You may also use the adapter included in the delivery. The adapter has one small and one large thread.

The small thread is for standard ball pumps and the large thread is for e.g. bicycle and car tyre pumps. Then close the article with the correct sealing plug.

Tip! Here is a method to check the diameter of 65 cm:

• Mark the height of 65cm on a wall, measuring up from the floor.
  Place the inflated product against the wall.
  Hold a spirit level at the highest point of the product and check against the mark on the wall whether the product has a diameter of 65cm .

Deflating

Remove the sealing plug with the sealing plug lifter and allow the air to escape slowly. Or remove the sealing plug and feed the deflating tube into the valve in order to allow the air to escape more quickly.

Note: Do not remove the sealing plug using a sharp or sharp-edged object. The ball could become severely damaged.

- Training notes

The following exercises only represent a selection. You can find further exercises in the relevant literature.

Warm up well before each training session.
Do not train if you feel ill or unwell.
- When starting training, get instruction on the correct execution of the exercises from an experienced physiotherapist if possible.

Wear comfortable sports clothing and trainers.
