INFLATING YOUR BOSU
1. Find the dual-action hand pump that came with your
BOSU
Balance Trainer and remove it from its
®
wrapping. (See Fig. A)
2. Place your BOSU
with the platform side up. (See Fig. B)
3. Insert the dual-action hand pump nozzle firmly into
the valve housing and inflate to a height of about 8-1/2
inches. (See Fig. B) DO NOT exceed 10 inches.
TIP: To judge proper inflation, simply hold a ruler
vertically against the side of the BOSU
Trainer and inflate until the platform clears
approximately 8-1/2" high on the ruler with dome side
down and a maximum of 10" high with dome side up.
(See Figs. C1 and C2)
4. Before each use, visually inspect the equipment.
Never use the equipment if parts are missing or if
the equipment is not functioning properly.
5. When you have inflated your BOSU
to the desired height, firmly insert the air plug into the
valve inlet. The air plug is included in the plastic
bag with this manual.
SETTING UP
Make sure your BOSU
adequate clearance space around you. You should have enough space to lie in a face
up, face down, or sidelying position on top of the dome, and to be able to step off
safely in any direction. Make sure that if you lost your balance and fell, you would
not hit any nearby objects. To reduce the risk of injury if a fall were to occur, use
a mat or exercise pad on wood or other hard surfaces.
