GETTING STARTED
Inflating Your BOSU
®
Balance Trainer Sport 50 CM
1.
Find the dual-action hand pump that came with your
BOSU
®
Balance Trainer Sport 50 CM and remove it
from its wrapping.
(See Fig. A)
2.
Place your BOSU
®
Balance Trainer Sport 50 CM flat on
the floor 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 5-7 inches.
(See Fig. B)
DO NOT exceed 8 inches.
TIP:
To judge proper inflation, simply hold a ruler
vertically against the side of the BOSU
®
Balance Trainer
Sport 50 CM and inflate until the platform clears
approximately 6.5” high on the ruler with dome side
down and a maximum of 8” high with dome side up.
(See Figs. C1 and C2)
4.
Before each use, visually inspect the equipment.
To help avoid unexpected sliding of the BOSU
®
Balance Trainer Sport 50 CM, make sure all 6 feet
are tightly inserted into the platform. Do not use
the equipment if any of the feet are missing.
Never use the equipment if parts are missing
or if the equipment is not functioning properly.
5.
When you have inflated your BOSU
®
Balance Trainer
Sport 50 CM 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
®
Balance Trainer Sport 50 CM is set on a non-slip, level
surface with 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.
