2.1. Inflation

Before first use, ensure the basketball is properly inflated.

1. Locate the inflation valve on the basketball.
2. Moisten the needle of a standard ball pump with a few drops of water or silicone oil. This helps prevent damage to the valve.
3. Carefully insert the moistened needle into the valve.
4. Inflate the ball to the recommended pressure, typically indicated near the valve or in the specifications section of this manual. Avoid over-inflation, as this can damage the ball.
5. Remove the needle gently.
