Troubleshooting
Ball won't inflate properly
Ensure the pump needle is fully inserted into the valve and that the pump is functioning correctly. Check for any debris in the valve. Do not over-inflate beyond the recommended pressure.
Ball losing air quickly
Check the valve for any damage or leaks. Ensure the valve cap is securely in place. If the issue persists, the bladder may be compromised.
Ball shape is not round
Ensure the ball has been inflated to the correct pressure. If it remains misshapen after proper inflation, the internal structure may be damaged.
Surface appears worn or damaged
Inspect the ball for cuts or abrasions. While the materials are durable, excessive force or contact with sharp objects can cause damage. Clean according to care instructions.
