How do I blow it up to its full size?

I have a bike pump and was able to fit the funnel-shaped nozzle into the hose of the bike pump. I think you can buy a little pump online, but I didn't bother since I already had a bike pump. I imagine an air mattress pump might do just as well. BTW I've had the ball for a year now, sit on it every day eight hours a day at work, and have never had to blow it up. Pretty amazing!

For us, it was a three or four day process. Blow it up as much as you can the first day. Then use it and wait a day for it to stretch itself out a little. Repeat every day. Each day, the ball got a little bit more stretched out, and we could get it almost 10 cm taller each day. Also, it helps if you have a helper so that one person is ready to plug the hole as soon as the other removes the pump.

I did and haven't had any problems, but using a pump from another brand exercise ball that I was no longer using.

Yes the best way to inflate this is by buying a small air pump, I have a coleman one that I bought at walmart for $20 that works perfect to blow up all our inflatables.(would take a long time to blow up by mouth :) )

There is a plastic disk button that you have to insert into it after you blow it up it is like a thumb tack but plastic and big it may be in the bag somewhere look in the box for it.

I just blew it up myself. It only took me a couple of minutes to blow up the whole thing. And the good news is: I never had to blow it up again! It held it's shape really well for months. I just scooped the water out and hung it up on the shower wall to dry using the attached suction cup.

no there is a hole/compartment you sit inside. you do blow up the middle but it doesn't fill the capacityyou have the option to blow up or not so your center hole can be low or high

you just have to blow into it like a balloon!... then put your thumb until you have the enclosure in it!...

You simply blow into it like a balloon - hold your thumb on it, then put the plug! Et voila! :)

it blows hard enough to do so. But I don't know how you would mount it to do so.

You can use a vacuum extension (in reverse) for the main outer section, but you will need something smaller to blow up the two inside parts. We used a hose similar to the ones you would find to fill up your tires at a gas station. Not sure where you would find this, but you definitely need something small enough to fit in that part.

You should under inflate it to about a 6' diameter. Measure the shadow it casts to get an approximation. As it ascends the helium will expand the balloon to the 20' diameter before it bursts.

It doesn't take much air to fill this thing. One and a half pumps from my manual full-size pump will do it.

None. Pull it out of the box. Put in oil and gas. Slip on the blower tube and fire it up. This thing starts every time on a dime and is very strong. I love it.

My husband has an air compressor and used that to blow up mine. I hope this helps.

You first have to pop the little bag inside and shake. They explode on their own. You could step on the after it inflates but you would just have to time it before it works itself. Hope that helps.

roll it up best way U can put in large plastic bag. Use vacuum cleaner to suck out air, put in proper size box. off to post office

Loosen the valve and do nothing else. It will self-inflate. If you want it to be even fuller, you can blow into the opened valve. When it inflated to your liking, close the valve. To deflate, open the valve and roll it up tightly. Then close the valve to keep it deflated. I carry mine in my purse rolled up and deflated. It takes up little room this way.

Yes you do to blow it up. there is an on/off switch on the pump you have to turn it on to deflate it all the way too
