Inflation Instructions

The centimeter size indicated on your gym ball refers to the maximum inflated diameter of the
ball. Do NOT inflate the ball larger than the indicated ball size or the ball will become weaker,
increasing the risk of ball failure/bursting.

IMPORTANT: Balls must be only partially inflated (80% full) and left unused for a
period of 24 hours before first use. After 24-hour waiting period, balls can be inflated to
the maximum size and used.

• The ball must be measured when inflating to ensure the correct diameter of the ball.

• Mark a line on the wall the distance from the floor that you need your ball diameter to be.

The VersaCore™ Trainer gym ball is a 50cm ball, therefore your mark needs to be at 50cm
or 19.75 inches.

• Hold a yardstick as level as possible on top of the ball while inflating. When the yardstick is

level with the mark on the wall, your ball is inflated to its maximum diameter.

• Once the ball is properly inflated, fully insert the plug to seal the ball.

• Balls can be used slightly under inflated to fit the individual user; however, never over inflate

the exercise ball.

• Never use sharp objects such as scissors or knives to remove the plug.

Assembly Instructions

To assemble the VersaCore™ Trainer base remove the gray base and position it on a level
surface. Take the two metal supports and insert the ends into the molded openings on the base.
Do not force the posts into the holes as this could deform the supports. Secure the metal
supports using the enclosed nuts. The assembled unit is pictured below: note position of stability
ball.
