care & Storage
Your BOSU® Elite has been carefully designed to require minimal maintenance
for enjoyable use. To ensure this, we recommend you do the following:
• DO NOT OVER INFLATE
(see page 10).
•
Keep your BOSU® Elite clean. Wipe sweat, dust, or other residue off the
BOSU® Elite after each use with a towel. Water and a mild soap may also be
used to clean the platform and dome.
•
Store your BOSU® Elite after use. The BOSU® Elite is easy and convenient
to store either inflated or deflated.
DO NOT STORE THE BOSU® ELITE
IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT (SUCH AS OUTSIDE OR NEAR WINDOWS) OR
NEAR HEAT SOURCES.
Direct sunlight or excessive heat (like the high
temperatures that can occur in the trunk of a car) can cause the inflated
dome to deform. Though the product can continue to be used, deformation
may cause the original balance traits of the dome to change.
• When storing the BOSU® Elite, make sure the dome is not in direct
contact with any other surfaces
. The dome needs to breathe to prevent
sweating (i.e. an oily residue may appear on the dome),
which can cause
the dome to be slippery, increasing the likelihood of a fall resulting in
injury
. If the dome does sweat, clean with water and a mild soap.
•
Avoid contacting the BOSU® Elite dome with sharp or abrasive objects.
Sharp or abrasive objects can puncture the vinyl surface. Always check the
soles of your shoes for glass, stones, etc., before standing on the BOSU®
Elite dome.
•
When deflating your BOSU® Elite for storage, you may have to pull firmly
to remove the plug. It will not harm the BOSU® Elite to give the plug a hard
tug in order to remove it.
