Care and Maintenance
•This toy includes two inflatable balls. If the balls become
soft, inflate them with a standard, manual air pump with
a standard air needle.
•Each ball will contain the correct amount of air when its
circumference measures about 21-22 inches (53-56 cm).
Measure the circumference of the ball with a tape measure
or with a piece of string cut 21-22 inches (53-56 cm) long.
Do not over-inflate the ball.
•To clean, use a clean, damp cloth. Be sure to remove
soap residue.
•Do not immerse this product.
•Do not leave this toy outside in freezing weather. Water left
inside the base will freeze and possible damage the base.
•Check all fasteners regularly to be sure they are tight.
If the fasteners are not tight, tighten them as necessary.
•Check plastic parts regularly and if broken or cracked,
dispose of them properly.
•We recommend indoor storage if this product will not be
used for an extended period of time.
