¦ Inflate balls to correct pressures. (Adjust the air pressure of balls using air gauge AG-500, to the appropriate internal pressure.)
|
||
|
¦ Before you inflate balls with air, be sure to coat inflation needles with Smooth Glycerin NDLSC. |
||
|
¦ To inflate balls with air, squeeze balls while gradually adding a small amount of air at a time. Inflating balls with too much air at once, for example with a compressor, will damage the inner tube and cause the skin to become loose, which will result in irregular flight. |
||
|
¦ Wipe the surface of balls with a soft cloth. |
¦ Inflate balls with air before use, and remove air after use. If the same air pressure remains in balls after use, balls may expand or distort. |
|
|
¦ If you are unable to remove dirt easily, wipe balls with a moistened cloth. |
||
|
¦ If you are unable to remove dirt with water, wipe balls with a cloth moistened with water-diluted mild detergent. |
||
|
¦ If you use mild detergent to clean balls, thoroughly wipe off any remaining detergent to ensure that it does not remain on the ball surface. (Detergent may cause ball discoloration.) |
||
|
|
¦ After use, remove any dirt or sand that may be lodged in the ball stitching, using a brush or similar tool. |
|
|
¦ If you used water to clean balls, wipe the ball afterwards with a dry cloth. |
||
|
¦ Dry balls out of direct sunlight in a well-ventilated place. |
||
|
¦ If the ball has been soaked by rain, wipe away moisture and dirt using a cloth, then dry the ball out of direct sunlight in a well-ventilated place. |
||
|
¦ Do not wipe balls with solvents such as benzene. (These may damage skin materials.) |
||
|
¦ Avoid leaving balls in a place that is exposed to direct sunlight. |
||
|
¦ Avoid storing balls in hot or damp places. |
||
|
¦ Store balls in a well-ventilated place. |
||
|
¦ Air balls regularly, in a well-ventilated place out of direct sunlight. |

Regulation of the internal pressure is a secret to keep the ball at optimum softness with the best rebounding performance, and to ensure its durability.
