INFLATION PROCEDURES
1. Remove the ball from its packaging. Included with the Classic Exercise Ball Chair are two plugs,
an adapter and a measuring tape. The Duraball Pro/Max only contains two plugs.
2. Inflate the ball to about 80% of its maximum circumference using a ball pump, foot pump, air
mattress pump or compressor. (Bike pumps are not recommended.)
3. To inflate your exercise ball either measure up the wall to the size of your ball (55cm, 65cm, etc.)
or use the plastic measuring tape provided with the Classic Ball Chair.
• To inflate by height, fill until the ball is 80% of the max height of the diameter.
• To inflate with the measuring tape, wrap the tape around the circumference of
the ball and align the end with one hole to the inner hole on the end with three
holes. This inner hole represents approx. 80% inflation, the centre hole 90%,
while the outer hole is 100% inflation.
4. Once the ball is inflated to 80%, insert the plug. Let the ball sit unused overnight to stretch.
5. Now that the ball has been allowed to stretch at 80% inflation, remove the plug again. Tip: You can use
a spoon or object with a thin, dull edge to get under the lip of the plug. Finish inflating to desired level, up
to 100%. If you prefer the ball to be softer, you can leave inflation at less than 100%. Reinsert the plug
and inspect the ball for any signs of defect. If all looks good, enjoy the ball in a safe, responsible fashion.
