Can anyone explain what the air tube with the ball on the end is supposed to do? I'm currently not using it, is that okay?

It adjust how the water flows out the spout thing. If it's closed the water won't flow out!! It's weird!!

J, I believe it's to be used for air to get into the water but I didn't use it either.

My gauge would not come off (it sheared off before unscrewing). I had the same idea: 0-15 gauge would be much better. I ended up getting a Winters PEM gauge, a 3-way tee, and an adapter to go from NPT to Schrader (search Amazon for Professional Sports Ball Air Inflator Needle 3-Piece Set by FixFind). Works perfectly at the end of my new MP6000 airgun.

I got a packet with the adapter to fill the ball and there were instructions stapled in the packet. It was a gift for someone, so I didn't actually fill the ball, but was told everything worked fine. Maybe you didn't receive the packet? Mine was rolled up in the ball. Hope this helps.

It's outfitted with two small air holes such as you find on regular inflatable toys. Make sure your air pump has a nozzle that will fit in and you're good to go. I recommend using a manual air pump, otherwise it will take awhile to blow up, and if you use an air compressor you could over inflate it. FYI: Takes a bit of time to deflate too, as all the air has to come out of those tiny holes, but it was super fun to play around on.

that is good, as long as it projects out so the operator can easily add air, unlike ones that run parallel to the rim,so they don't stick out !...drives me crazy. Thanks for the info !

there is a very small hole for a basketball needle. You use a bike pump with the basketball needle screwed to the end to inflate...pump up the ball. My son had one when he was little...he's 30 so I recently got one for his neighbor's son. He loved it. The air hole may be hidden so you have to look hard. Very small.

I have had mine for 4 months and have had NO problems..It sound like you need to add a lot more air to your ball.

It sounds like you received a defective ball. The distributor (Plasmart) will replace it - they are good to work with. You can contact them through the website at perplexus.net and explain what happened.

A small air pump or bicycle pump. No problem with it over filling with air. use your common sense.

Ours has been used but not abused. With a lot of effort the launcher and setter which are plastic could be broken, but neither is essential. Some player prefer to throw the ball and not use the launcher. Most just set the pins without the setter.

I tied ours off tight to prevent air leakage. I assumed it was for deflating the whole thing when you roll it up for storage.

it's not broken, i don't understand why you would think it would add air upon pulling and pushing.. 1 way pushes the air in. then a checkvalve seals it so it doesn't suck the air out of the balloon whlie it fills the pump back with air when u pull it... it's basic physics. pushing creates pressure, which pushes air into the ballon, pulling creates a void/vacuum which sucks air into the pump to refill it. it takes like 2 seconds to fill a ballon regardless do i can't comprehend your malfunction.

I recommend that you check the following:1. Is the Stanley 450 fully charged?2. Is the tubing properly connected to the body of the Stanley 450 at one end and to the valve that attached to the item to be inflated at the other end?3. Are there any leaks along the tubing or at the ends?4. Is the tubing blocked? (If the pressure as indicated on the pressure gauge increases significantly when you run the compressor, but no air comes out the end, then then there may be a blockage.)Hope you are able to resolve.

It is meant as a sports equipment pump, for balls and the like. It may be used on low pressure tires. If you are looking for something that will inflate bike tires to 40 lbs or more you should consider a pump designed for that. Probably will work in an emergency.

Since the question I have received sounds like the first part of the question is missing. I will respond this way. You will need to have a pump to inflate and maintain the inflation of your ball. The one you shared as being the one you used looks more than fine for the task.

Thats odd. I use a standard bike pump to air our tires. Maybe you have the wrong attachment on your pump?
