We cannot get the disc to inflate. I put a bicycle pump on the needle, one pump takes the gauge to 60 psi and the disc is still "flat."

Maybe it's a defective one... that happens (rarely, I think). On the other hand, it's really not supposed to inflate much. How flat is "flat"?

I couldn't get mine to take air either, and discovered that the needle's open end was flush against the opposite inside. When I pulled the needle back a bit it took air much easier.

It appears like you haven't inserted the needle deep enough, so you actually don't really inflate the disc. There is no place for the air from the pump to go out, so you see 60 psi. It shouldn't be that high. Try to insert the needle deeper while pumping, and see when the air starts going out into the disc.

Not on the one I received. It has a needle used for air-filled balls, but not the standard bike adaptor (see here http://bit.ly/13xsIeB). Also, I don't think that this pump is designed to deliver the high pressure that bike tires require. Hope this helps.

You need to provide an air compressor of some kind. I've heard about some success using a bike pump but an electric air compressor will provide the best results

It takes only a few moments to inflate, check the connection to the pump, make sure it's secure and the right side up, also check all the lines so there is no air leaking from them. If all else fails, you can contact the vendor, they've been very responsive to questions.

Hm. I had a bike place inflate it last summer and it stayed pretty inflated all winter. I just squeezed the hole where the air goes in and blew into it and it filled up again.

We bought the dyna disc to use with exercises we got from the physical therapist. don't blow the disc up too full. it should still be fairly level across the top, not bulging. there are some you tube videos with exercise instructions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtdzOsMXXzk hope this helps

So I was in exactly the same situation, how to inflate ! I used a pump like you use for swimming tubes for kids, bikes etc, it worked perfectly. I bought at Target. Hope this helps.

We had to use a very large air compressor and it still took about an hour. I imagine it would take days to inflate from a lighter jack. Once we inflated we just kept the air in it and just fill up if its running a bit low.

I would say a bicycle or other air pump is necessary to inflate this - DO NOT try to blow it up yourself, it won't be sufficiently inflated.

If you look on bottom there is a hole that allows to inflate (like a basketball). I personally haven't inflated my set, but I think this should solve your problem. Before trying you might check the Yamuna website QA.

Mine also lost air, I pumped it up once but when it lost air again I could not pump it up. I have just recieved a new one directly from the Gypsy Quilter. I emailed them and they said I could send it back and they would send a new one, I will see how this works.

Either, however it was so out of shape when purchased I could not seat it on the wheel to inflate it. So, I took out the valve stem, installed a tube and used the tube to push the tire onto the wheel. Good luck!

We ran into to that and it was the bike pump we were using, my husband used the connection for the air compresser and that fixed our issue with it. We have not tried to find a hand pump for it yet since the air compresser is handy for us.

I used a pump that came with my exercise ball. Otherwise its the gas station...no way I could blow this up :) Still inflated though.

If you have already "pulled the plug" on the air valve, use a compressor with a long attachment to insert into the air valve. It will inflate within seconds.

Because I was in a hurry to use it, I just did it by mouth and quickly capped it so I didn't have this problem. Maybe it is more difficult if you inflate it with a needle?! I'm over 70 so it was a little difficult for me to get on initially but once I found out how it works for me I no longer have that problem.

I truly had no trouble inflating mine...just opened the valve and blew into it. If & WHEN you do get it operationaldon't inflate it until it's taut. Leave it a bit limp. We have gotten 2 summers out of our 6, and they're still going into the pool again this summer. Good luck! If it's still not inflating, send it back...I'm sure the seller will want to know it's not working.
